***
This is her last chance for a British husband.
Alara is about to be shipped off to the Ottoman empire to live the life her mother didn’t. Zehra Chaush wants her daughter to be proper, from an Istanbul point of view.
But all Alara wants is to stay in England.
Well, England and John, the tall, daring boy she knew in the country. But she hasn’t seen him in years. There’s no time left to hope for that.
Lord Harman has lived his life in his parents’ shadow. His father expects to hand down his seat in Parliament and his dreams. John would rather have dreams of his own.
But his dreams would start with the beautiful black-eyed girl he knew as a boy – and she must have left the country years ago.
A wild Christmas masquerade will prove their last chance to find their dreams in each other.
***
“His Unlaced Love” is a standalone story, but picks up Lord Harman after the events of Book 2 of Cloaks and Countesses, The Clandestine Countess. Readers of Bess and Dan’s story will enjoy seeing Lord Harman’s own love story with Alara, his own childhood friend.
