Brackford Hall: Book One

By Lianah Morgan

When the widowed Viscount Brackford died, he left behind his only daughter, Charlotte. Marred by scandal and still unmarried, the beautiful but melancholy Lady Charlotte Russell feels suffocated by her life at Brackford Hall, now the property of the new Viscount; Charlotte's cousin and former sweetheart, Andrew.

Charlotte knows that it's only a matter of time before the still-smoldering attraction between herself and Andrew catches fire. If only he hadn't mysteriously thrown her over in favor of Olivia Gage, the new Lady Brackford, who won't stop tossing family portraits into the attic.

Determined to escape, Charlotte decides to flee on an indefinite tour of America. Even though she still avoids being alone with Andrew at all costs, her luck finally runs out on the eve of her departure, and Charlotte gives in to her heart's desire.

Charlotte’s breath hitched as Andrew took another step towards her. She tried not to notice the intensity in his eyes, she tried not to notice when his eyes flickered down and his gaze locked onto her lips, and she especially tried not to notice the way her heart was pounding—but of course it was impossible. The consequences of their impending lapse would be far reaching.

Or perhaps they wouldn’t be, Charlotte mused. Perhaps, just this once more, she could kiss him properly again right here in the library—perhaps no one would find out. She was due to leave on the second train in the morning, and with any luck she’d be in the car bound for the station before Lady Brackford even awoke, much less dressed and came down. Charlotte began to tremble as her mind and her body warred with each other.
