Excerpt from Preludes and Romances Town - dwellers think that Spring begins in May; We of the country know a certain day In February, when the shy young year Dreams her first dream of love. The skies appear Not cloudless with the steely gleam of frost, But tender, by soft-footed armies crossed, Vaunt-couriers of Queen Spring. The sleeping earth Remembers the green things that wait for birth In her Wide bosom; and the thrushes stir To rouse the laggard morning earlier.

An unconventional young woman. A haunted young man. A forbidden instrument. Can their love of music bring them together . . . or will it tear them apart? Bath, England 1810 At twenty-eight, Alethea Sutherton is past her prime for courtship; but social mores have never been her forté. She might be a lady, but she is first and foremost a musician. In Regency England, however, the violin is considered an inappropriate instrument for a lady. Ostracized by society for her passion, Alethea practices in secret and waits for her chance to flee to the Continent, where she can play without scandal. But when a thief ’s interest in her violin endangers her and her family, Alethea is determined to discover the enigmatic origins of her instrument … with the help of the dark, brooding Lord Dommick. Scarred by war, Dommick finds solace only in playing his violin. He is persuaded to help Alethea, and discovers an entirely new yearning in his soul. Alethea finds her reluctant heart drawn to Dommick in the sweetest of duets . . . just as the thief’s desperation builds to a tragic crescendo . . .

Ladd, award-winning author of The Headmistress of Rosemere Sweet, full-length Regency romance Will appeal to fans of Bridgerton and Poldark Stand-alone novel
