The Spy and the Spinster
(2024)(The seventh book in the Ashbourne Legacy series)
A Novella by Eliana Piers
She’s resolved to be a spinster and doesn’t need anyone to watch out for her.
He’s made a vow to be her protector. Only she doesn’t know it. So really, he’s spying on her.
Lady Hali has had enough high society men (fortune hunters) trying to trap her into marriage. They’re all after her money, being the sister of a duke, and she can’t trust a single one of them. Without trust, it’s impossible to find love, so she has accepted the life that fate has dealt her: spinsterhood.
When fate crushes Hali to Lord Giles’ body not once, not twice, but thrice in the span of less than twenty four hours, he figures there’s nothing wrong with allowing one kiss to happen. He’s the youngest of seven brothers in the Ashbourne family, so maybe it is his turn to consider marriage. Yet he respects Hali’s vow of independence to tell her how he feels.
Can Giles shake the guilt he feels for overstepping his role as protector? Will Hali allow her heart to trust a man enough to fall into a love match?
This is the seventh book in the steamy new regency romance series, The Ashbourne Legacy, that follows the seven mislabeled brothers of Snow White.
Read this novelette if you like sweet and spicy easy reads with witty banter and lovable characters.
