For if there’s one skill that Lord Birnham is known for, it’s the art of persuasion…

RAVEN McALLAN

lives in Scotland, the land of lochs, glens, mountains, haggis, men in kilts (sometimes), and midges. She enjoys all of them – except midges. They're not known as the scourge of Scotland for nothing. Her long-suffering husband has learned how to work the Aga, ignore the dust bunnies who share their lives, and pour the wine when necessary. Raven loves history, which is just as well, considering she writes Regency romance, and often gets so involved in her research she forgets the time. She loves to travel, and says she and her hubby are doing their gap year in three-week stints. All in the name of research, of course.

She loves to hear from her readers and you can contact her on twitter: @RavenMcAllan or via her website: ravenmcallan.com

Thanks to my Editor Extraordinaire , the fabulous Charlotte Mursell.

The Cover Artist, Anna Sikorska.

All the HQ Digital team.

Doris O'Connor, wielder of the 'red pen', who is chief nagger when I need it.

The RavDor Chicks, (Doris and my) fantastic Facebook group for all their encouragement.

The Carina authors Facebook group ditto.

Paul my long suffering husband, who is still ignoring the dust bunnies, and providing the wine.

Everyone who is so kind to buy and read my books and have made my dream of being a published (and read) author come true.

To my long gone, never forgotten mum and dad, who would be so pleased I'd achieved my dream.

Prologue

‘I have a headache.’ It was almost true, Lydia thought, as she glanced up at her mama from under her lashes. If she were forced to fall in with her parents’ intentions it would no longer be a white lie. Even thinking about the evening’s so-called entertainment made her tense. ‘Can I not give the ball a miss and you make my apologies to our hostess?’ After all, she’d spend most of the night as a wallflower – not that she minded that at all; it was the fact that she would be forced to dance with whomsoever her hostess foisted upon her that she hated. Supper would be agony, as whichever gentleman had been coerced into escorting her attended to her for the bare minimum of time politeness dictated and then disappeared. ‘Seriously, Mama, let me have a night off. I am not interested and you know it.’
