A Regency Beauty and the Beast retelling in an Italian castle
Lady Daphne, an English earl's daughter, is finally living her dream of visiting Italy with a group of travelers and studying art under the acclaimed Niccolo. But when Signor Niccolo assigns a substitute tutor and refuses to see them, she sneaks into the grounds of his castle to confront him. She discovers the artist's terrible secret...which, oddly enough, does not repel her.
Niccolo Andrettii possesses wealth beyond his dreams from his horse art...and no one to share it with. He has accepted the fact that no woman could love him after a tragedy years before. When a beautiful Englishwoman trespasses into his castle grounds, he very nearly has her hauled off--until he sees the passion for art...and kindness in her eyes. He agrees to tutor her on one condition--that only she and a chaperone, not the group, must come in secret to his castle.
Day after day, he expects to frighten her off, just as he grows to eagerly welcome her company. As her visit nears its end, should he not let her go? Or could he allow their blossoming love to set him free?
Regency Reins & Romance is a sweet romance series spun off from Lady Serena's Choice. Enjoy the interconnected stories of a circle of horse-loving friends and how each finds her happily-ever-after. They may be enjoyed as standalones but reading them in order is recommended.
