A Regency Romance Novella
Euphemia Fleet is timid and tiny, on her way to a new life.
Baron Balfour is a giant of a man, wounded by the death of his wife.
Will he terrify her, or will she find the spirit to salve the wounded bear?
Listeners may recognise Miss Fleet from Book 2 of The Fentons, Felicity and the Damaged Reputation, and meet again some beloved friends. If not, they can enjoy Euphemia’s story on its own.
Miss Fleet, on her way to join her dear Felicity and her husband, is still fearing that she may be a burden to them. She meets Baron Balfour on the road, and after an accident to her only gown, finds out that she resembles his dead wife in stature when he offers her a change of clothes.
But the shock of seeing Euphemia in the gown brings on an old illness, and she is forced by her kindly nature to stay with him, though his loud voice and blunt conversation terrifies her.
Something stirs in Euphemia as they become acquainted, and she, who has always dreamed of a respectable home of her own, finds she wants more, much more than his grief could ever give her....
Shocked and appalled, she travels on to her friend. But will the Baron let her be?
