Belle: A Historical Romantic Comedy - Standalone Romance Melanie Jackson

The road to true love is made rocky with horse thieves, highwaymen, former fiances, and a very determined Bow Street Runner."Melanie Jackson is a talent to watch."--WritersWrite.comWith the letter breaking his engagement, Stephan Kirton's hopes for respectability and happiness went up in smoke. It was inevitable that his travels abroad and "intereaction with the lower classes" would put him beyond the scope of polite society. That and he was born a bastard. Ormstead Park was a place for dancing and flirting, for drinking and gambling, and for less innocent sports. It was a place where he could find a woman for the night. Instead she found him. He didn't recognize her at first; real ladies didn't come to Lord Duncan's masked balls. Her descent into this netherworld had brought her within reach. Annabelle Winston was sublime. If he had to trick her, bribe herd, or dare her he would do so to maker her his own.
