The Curious Countess (Novella)

She has one night to find the love of her life

***

Alara has one night to find a British husband...

She's as British as bluebells and rain. But now the Continental wars are over, her mother plans a life for Alara in the Ottoman Empire where she'll never see Britain again.

With one night of freedom, Alara's future depends on forgetting the curious boy she's waited for all her life.

Lord Harman is heir to a political dynasty...

But hates intrigue and compromise. He'd trade it all for one more lazy summer day with the girl who inspired his mind and his heart.

At a wild Christmas revel he meets her again, still challenging him every step of the way and now very much a woman. When a dangerous mission falls into his lap, he must make an absolute choice: spend his last night with her playing pirate - or fulfill his destiny.

This masquerade will prove their last chance to find their dreams in each other.

***

The Curious Countess is a standalone story, but picks up Lord Harman after the events of Book 2 of Cloaks and Countesses, The Clandestine Countess. Readers of Bess and Dan's story will enjoy seeing Lord Harman's own love story with Alara, his own childhood friend.
