They’re about to find out if happily ever after is possible when obligation and passion collide…
Blaire Culpepper had every intention of returning to England and finally declaring her love to the man who stole her heart. Until she found out that in her absence, he not only inherited his brother’s estate but had also been courting another woman. Not exactly the warm reception she’d imagined…
Lieutenant Julian Drake didn’t believe in love at first sight—until he met Blaire. Back then, he was just a soldier with no hope of winning her hand. And now that his social circumstances have changed, duty has forced him to consider marrying another...even though letting Blaire go is the last thing he’d ever want to do…When all is said and done, can Julian find a way to preserve his honor that doesn’t break Blaire’s heart—or his own?
The Lieutenant and the Lady is book five in The Culpepper Misses series by Collette Cameron. I truly loved this story. As is the case in most of Ms. Cameron’s books, humor is sprinkled throughout. I laughed out loud during the bookshop scene. “The Crimes of Love” by Marquis de Sade is an actual book published in 1799. It was considered more than scandalous at the time of its publication. So it is especially funny for an innocent like Miss Blaire Culpepper to be caught with that particular book in her hands. I love it when authors are able to weave actual history into their stories and Ms Cameron does this masterfully. She also includes some fun pets in the mix. This is a sweet romance.
