One Starlit Night

By Carolyn Jewel

A passionate affair 10 years gone by. Some feelings never fade away.

Portia Temple is set to marry a dull man to escape her exasperating sister-in-law. Ten years prior, she thought she'd met the love of her life in Viscount Northword, but circumstances beyond their control forced the two of them apart. As Portia prepares to give herself away for good, Northword returns, and with him come feelings she'd buried long ago.

Ten years away from Doyle's Grange isn't long enough for Northword to forget Portia and the love they shared. He tells himself it's wrong to interfere in her life, but he can't help but intervene with his words, his body, and the truths of his heart.

One Starlit Night is a Regency romance novella featuring two lovers reunited after a decade apart. If you like second chance romances, steamy encounters, and a touch of paranormal, then you'll love Carolyn Jewel's intense and believable story.
