Rose
by Lauren Royal

The last of the lovely Ashcroft sisters to find a husband, Rose is fast approaching spinsterhood at the age of twenty- one. But the intellectual beauty is determined to make her way down the aisle—with no less than a nobleman—even if it means hiding her brains, her hopes, and her dreams.

There is someone, however, to whom Rose can reveal everything. He is Christopher "Kit" Martyn, a handsome and determined man set on landing the post of official Royal Architect. Though a commoner, Kit is no stranger to female attention, and does not hesitate to pursue the out-of- reach Rose despite her seeming disinterest in him. Somehow, he must convince her that a title is worth nothing in the presence of a noble and passionate heart...



Lauren Royal's Bio

Lauren Royal became interested in the Restoration period at the age of fourteen, when she sneaked a valuable first- edition copy of Forever Amber out of her great-uncle's library. She began amassing a collection of history books and taking copious notes with the intention of someday writing novels of her own. A fourteen-year career as the CEO of her own jewelry store chain delayed those dreams, but she never forgot them. Lauren lives in southern California with her family.
