Harriet Walters, a twenty-six year old spinster, is evicted from her home after the death of her father and sent to live with a persnickety aunt. Resigned to the thankless life of an unpaid companion, she yearns for romance with the local grammar school's history master, if only he were as interested in her as he is in the Roman occupation of England. Fate intervenes, however, when Harriet becomes an heiress.
Leaving her small town home for the glittering attractions of London, Harriet meets several interesting new people, including a devilish young cad who wants to awaken her sensual side. Welcome to the Regency world, where life is slower, people are more courteous, and men and women still court each other. So pour yourself a cup of tea or chocolate, sit back in your chair, and enjoy an old-fashioned romance."I would say if you like Elizabeth Gaskell, or Jane Austen, you will like this style." - Goodreads Review

Biographie de Cathy Spencer

I've begun a new historical novel which is set in 1927 during the Roaring Twenties. My young heroine moves from cosmopolitan Toronto to Kentville, Nova Scotia, a small but bustling town. It's a fish-out-of-water story that evolves into a mystery. With flappers, speakeasies, and rum-runners, it should be a fun read!I'm also the author of the Anna Nolan mystery series featuring an amateur sleuth working for a Calgary, Alberta university.
Book One, Framed for Murder, was the winner of the 2014 Bony Blithe Mystery Award. In it, Anna discovers the body of her unfaithful ex-husband while walking her dog one evening, and quickly becomes the focus of his murder investigation. Book Two in the series, Town Haunts, is set at Halloween. Cemetery custodian Sherman Mason asks for help from Anna and her friends when he hears his dead wife calling to him from beyond the grave.
In the third book, Tidings of Murder and Woe, Anna is looking forward to a happy Christmas when her new friend, the CEO of a big oil company, starts receiving anonymous death threats. I've also written two romances. The Affairs of Harriet Walters, Spinster, is an historical novel about a spinster whose life is turned upside when she is sent to live with a persnickety aunt after her father's death.
The Dating Do-Over is a contemporary romantic comedy about a thirtyish school teacher with a sympathetic heart and lousy taste in men. Connect with me online:Website: http://cmspencer.blogspot.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/CathySpencerAuthor
