February… the month of romance!! It’s only fitting that my Book Club choice is reflective of this flowery focus!
“If You’ll Have Me,” a new release by Esther Hatch, hits shelves this week!
Cozy in with a cuppa, a cookie, and a few hours to immerse yourself in this delightful period piece with its lords and ladies, hopes and horrors, duties and desires…
A lady desperately seeking freedom. A prosperous younger man. An unexpected connection.
Anna Atwood returns to Breckenridge, where she spent one blissful summer as a young woman. This time, though, she comes to the quaint town as a penniless spinster with a single hope: to build a life free from the constraints her father’s death put on her and free from the persistent suitor Mr. Green, whose plans for marriage are Anna’s worst nightmare. Then she runs into David Tate, the boy she knew from that memorable summer…
David remembers Anna as the spirited woman who once brought light into his dark childhood. Now a man of means, he has a promising future, if he can withstand the powerful Lord Murphy—a man whose menacing hold on the town he owns is surpassed only by his relentless hold on David’s life.
In a moment of desperation, David and Anna agree to a proposal of convenience to provide the safety they both need. But as their attraction ignites, the looming dangers from Lord Murphy and Mr. Green threaten to destroy their budding happiness.
