WARNING: THIS IS A NOVELLA OF 19,000 WORDS. IF YOU PREFER YOUR NOVELLAS TO BE LONGER, PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
Miss Evelyn Fellingham does not need to see the admiration in the Earl of Halsey’s eyes to know she is attractive—most men find her violet eyes and porcelain skin irresistible—but she wants to.
Yet every attempt to impress him with her playful wit and lively banter ends in sullen silence, for she is too much in awe of the handsome lord to form a coherent sentence. No doubt he thinks she’s a beautiful ninnyhammer. Indeed, that’s exactly what the earl thinks, and he dismisses her as yet another simpering society miss.
Then an out-of-control hobby-horse in Hyde Park knocks her over in front of everyone, including Halsey. The mortified young lady, her cheek bruised and her dress stained, can barely bring herself to raise her eyes from the ground—which is a shame.
For if she did, she might finally see the light of admiration begin to glow in the capricious lord’s eye.————————————————————Readers find Love Takes Root Series wonderfully splendid: This book was absolutely delightful! - Noorammk, Goodreads Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐OMG!
