A Peculiar Enchantment

Written by Kathleen Buckley

Narrated by Fiona Honan-Bowes

What can you look forward to when your only relatives call you ugly, unbalanced, and a scandal? What

would you do if your only friend was threatened? Dependent on her half brother, the Earl of Lamburne,

Adelaide knows. She wants to escape.

Gervase Ducane, invited to Lamburne's home to court his daughter, is torn. He needs to marry well and

soon but not this spiteful chit. Should he buy a commission instead? Seek a wealthy merchant's daughter?

As a marquess's brother, he has at least a noble connection to offer an heiress apart from his good

manners. And why is he only now meeting the earl's delightful half sister?

Ordered to stay away from the house party, Adelaide rebels. She will make her unwelcome, embarrassing

presence known to avenge herself and her pet. Sometimes when you least expect it, magic happens.

A traditional romance.

Kathleen Buckley

Kathleen Buckley has loved writing ever since she learned to read. After a career which included light bookkeeping, working as a paralegal, and a stint as a security officer (fascinating!), she began to write as a second career, rather than as a hobby. Her first historical romance was penned (well, wordprocessed) after re-reading Georgette Heyer’s Georgian/Regency romances and realizing that Ms. Heyer would never be able to write another (having died some forty years earlier). She is now the author of three published Georgian romances: An Unsuitable Duchess, Most Secret, and Captain Easterday's Bargain, with a fourth, A Masked Earl, completed but not yet released. She is in the final throes of revising the fifth. Warning: no bodices are ripped in her romances, which might be described as "powder & patch & peril" rather than Jane Austen drawingroom. They contain no explicit sex, but do contain mild bad language, as the situations in which her characters find themselves sometimes call for an oath a little stronger than "Zounds!"
