After a night of mistaken identity and unexpected passion,
Arabella Kendall vows to keep her secret, especially from Viscount Pierce
Ellis, the man who unknowingly claimed her heart. With her twin sister, Amelia,
eager for a London Season, Arabella escapes to the Scottish countryside,
determined to avoid scandal and matrimony.

Pierce, Viscount Kernwith, has always believed he loved the
poised and perfect Amelia Fitzwilliam. But when he learns it was Arabella he
spent that fateful night with, everything changes. Realizing the truth, he’s
determined to make Arabella his bride.

But Kernwith is on the brink of ruin, and as they work
together to save the estate, buried secrets emerge. As the past is revealed,
Arabella must decide: can she trust the man who mistook her for someone else,
or will pride keep them apart forever?

Arabella in another man’s arms
unsettled him more than Amelia’s wedding. How could that be? He’d once believed
his heart belonged to Amelia. But she’d married Devonhold, and instead of
breaking him, it had brought anger and now… relief. That was the truth, wasn’t
it? A quiet, undeniable sense of rightness had settled over him then, but now a
storm raged at the idea of losing Arabella. It wasn’t just an obligation that
pulled him toward her. It was the realization that he may have loved her
all along.

A flash of light blue caught his eye
when she sailed through the doorway, mercifully alone. She looked thin. Perhaps
she wasn’t well.

As he traversed the room toward her,
she lifted her gaze and met his. Her stare reminded

 

 him of a doe ready to flee. “Would you
care for the next dance?” he asked once he reached her 
side.

 

Arabella crossed her arms. “I heard
you abused Charlotte’s feet last night, so I think not.”

“A turn in the garden, then.”

“That wouldn’t be proper.”

Was she truly going to pretend
nothing had passed between them? Damn it, he wouldn’t be dismissed like some
unwanted suitor. “We must speak to one another,” he fairly shouted over 
the music, drawing eyes to them.

 

Her cheeks flushed, and her mouth
formed an ‘O’, before she turned on her heel and left,

 

 her bottom a dancing curve of pale blue
silk as she fled. Once she reached the edge of the
 ballroom, he discreetly followed her.

 

Arabella darted down the hall,
opened a door at the end, and entered a room.

Pierce glanced over his shoulder to
ensure no one followed them. Once at the door, he 
 stopped with his hand on the handle.

      I’m a plantser. I usually have an outline of the beats, I need to hit for a romance, beyond that I let the characters take me where they want, within reason. My only advice for aspiring writers is the method that gets you to the end is the right one for you.
