About this ebook
This is a steamy historical romance short story (word count 5,817).
Violet thinks that she is completely immune to all the irrational emotions involved in the intimate relations between men and women.
That is until her path crosses that of Andrew, the Earl of Teddington, who is determined to teach her a valuable lesson in passion and love.
It is a lesson that will make her rethink all that she had once believed in!
Elizabeth Reed
As long as I can remember I have always loved everything and anything to do with the romance genre. Enjoying writing, reading and watching a wide range of love stories. I am a true romantic at heart! So after studying for a philosophy degree and then going on to work in a corporate job in advertising, I decided to reconnect with my passion again! I now write mainly romance short stories, with the aim to share all of my ideas with others who also have an interest in romantic fiction. I write in a range of romance subgenres including erotic romance, contemporary, sweet, paranormal/fantasy fiction and historical. I hope to continue writing as long as my ideas keep flowing out from my mind. In early 2014 I experienced my own personal love story, when I married my one true love. I now live together with my husband in London.

Chapter 1
‘Claire you are playing a dangerous game with the Earl of Teddington. Please, I caution you to not continue to encourage him as you have been doing,’ Violet spoke with concern as she turned to her younger sister and stopped in her tracks, allowing for the larger group of well dressed and lively men and women they were following to walk ahead of them further into the woodlands.
‘Violet, I do not quite understand your meaning, pray how would I be encouraging Andrew?’ Claire tried to speak casually as she too discontinued her own walking and looked down to inspect her shoes guiltily.
‘Claire, you cannot pull the wool over my eyes, I know you far too well! You were flirting outrageously with the Earl during lunch for all to see, and now you seem to be on a first name basis with the man, you are becoming far too familiar with him! If I had known you were going to behave in such a way I would never have agreed to accompany you on this visit, I would have stayed home and finished writing my book.’ Violet could not help but show her annoyance.
‘Violet you are such a prude sometimes I was doing no such thing, flirting outrageously that is. I was only being friendly and polite, and responding back to the questions he was asking, what’s wrong with that? And we are guests for a week at his estate after all!’
Violet had to resist rolling her eyes in response to her sister’s false words. She remembered how she had sat down next to Claire
