So much for this holiday season.
All the plans he had made with Percy, all the parties they’d hoped to attend—none of it would be possible once he was stuck at Leosted Manor.
And this was just the beginning. He would be expected, on this visit, to finalize marriage arrangements with Lady Grace. There would be no getting out of it this time.
He shut himself in his room. Someone, no doubt one of the footmen, had gotten out his trunk and placed it in the middle of the room. It was already half-packed for him, but whoever had begun the work had left half the space available for Blaise to pack the items of his choice.
As if it matters what I wear when I’m in Lady Grace’s company!
Blaise was someone who took pleasure in selecting the perfect clothing for every occasion. He took pride in his appearance. But he was sure Lady Grace wouldn’t take any notice of what he looked like. Why should she? She never had before.
Besides, what do I care for impressing her?
He went to his wardrobe, pulled out an armload of garments at random, and began to fold them and place them in the trunk.
Maybe if I dress poorly enough, he thought idly, Lady Grace will tell her father to send me away.
But he wasn’t holding out much hope for that outcome. If Lady Grace had planned to send him away, to insist that their arrangement be terminated, she would have done so long ago. It seemed to Blaise that she just didn’t care one way or the other. She had no interest in him at all. He might as well not exist.
Well, at least that would change once they were married. She wouldn’t be able to ignore him when he was her husband.
At least, he hoped she wouldn’t.
He closed his trunk, sat down on top of it, and put his head in his hands.
He had actually dared to believe that this arrangement was over. He should have known better.

About the Author
Hanna Hamilton has been fascinated with the regency era ever since she was a young teen, first discovering historical romance novels by famous authors such as Jane Austen and Lisa Kleypas. She believes that love was just so much more magical back then, more like a fairy tale. She always daydreamed about finding love herself that way, but since that is impossible in the twenty first century, she decided to write about it instead!
Born in Texas, Hanna Hamilton obtained a degree in Creative Writing, and had worked as a literature teacher before becoming a novelist. When she isn’t writing, Hanna likes to explore the countryside with her husband and two children, gaining inspiration from the natural world around her.
So, come on a journey into love, confusion, and redemption all within the regency era. Hanna hopes that you will enjoy immersing yourself into her novels, and that you too will find a love for old fashioned romance, just as she has.
