About this item

A traditional Regency romance, drawing room rather than bedroom. Miss Fanny Winterton has only one wish in her romantic heart - to surrender to overwhelming love. She will accept nothing less than to be struck by the thunderbolt of everlasting passion. Real life isn't quite so obliging, however, so while she waits for the fires of love to ignite, she is content to ply her needle as a lowly seamstress for her noble patroness.The Honourable Ferdinand Makenham has no wish at all to marry, until one glimpse of Fanny's sweet expression convinces him that he has found the love of his life. Now all he has to do is to persuade her to accept him, but is he romantic enough to win her affection? As he sets about his courtship, he and Fanny are drawn into the mysterious death of a young woman and life gets complicated.



About the Author

Mary Kingswood

I live in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland with my husband. I like chocolate, whisky, my Kindle, massed pipe bands, long leisurely lunches, chocolate, going places in my campervan, eating pizza in Italy, summer nights that never get dark, wood fires in winter, chocolate, the view from the study window looking out over the Moray Firth and the Black Isle to the mountains beyond. And chocolate. I dislike driving on motorways, cooking, shopping, hospitals. The lovely lady in my avatar is Archduchess Clementina of Austria (1798-1881) , Princess of Salerno, painted around 1839. NOTE: I read Regency romances as well as write them, and I review them all on my website, or you can find them right here on on my real-name account at
