As the heir apparent for the Duke of Bellhouse, though, the pressure is on to find a bride and produce an heir…
A Vision From the Past…

Dear reader - I was not going to do an Audrey book. Indeed, I wasn't going to do a Marcus one either, but a lot of people were curious about to know what happened to him after he returned to England. Actually, Millie was the only other Hathaway I had planned to follow up with (and yes, her story is in the making) but I felt I couldn't let poor Audrey miss out completely so I decided on a novella that ended up rather longer than intended. In fact, this is either a long novella or a short book. Stayed tuned for That Hathaway Girl, Millie's story...
