As the Christmas season approaches, he prepares to settle in for a month of heavy drinking�until an unexpected encounter changes his plans�and threatens his heart. A PRIM VICAR�S DAUGHTER Valentine March is not the drab little spinster she appears to be. When her new job as a lady�s companion lands her smack in the middle of Yorkshire with England�s most infamous rake, she resolves to keep her head down and her eyes fixed firmly on her future�a future which most definitely does not include a sinfully handsome viscount. A MATCH MADE IN SCANDAL A friendship is impossible. An affair out of the question. But when one reckless act binds them together, will two star-crossed souls discover there�s more to each other than meets the eye? Or will revelations from the past end their fragile romance before it begins? The Viscount and the Vicar�s Daughter is a sweet (i.e. clean) standalone Victorian romance of approximately 52,000 words.
