A Love Written In Blood
Joy Vanilla
by Ashtyn Newbold
Charlotte Lyons has a plan, and she refuses to let anything—or anyone—derail it.
With her family's fortune in ruins and her mother's expectations pressing down like a corset laced too tight, Charlotte arrives on England's rugged northern coast with a single purpose: secure a proposal from a wealthy earl before the season ends. Love is a luxury she cannot afford. Practicality is the only currency that matters now.
But the north has a way of dismantling even the most carefully constructed schemes.
The infuriating, plain-spoken man she keeps crossing paths with is everything Charlotte has been taught to dismiss—no title, no fortune, no place in her carefully ordered world. Yet he sees through her polished performance with unsettling ease, challenging her assumptions at every turn. She tells herself his kindness is naive and his honesty is inconvenient. She tells herself she feels nothing.
She is lying, and she is very good at that.
Set against the windswept beauty of Regency England, *Lies and Letters* is a clean, sweeping romance about the cost of ambition, the courage honesty demands, and the terrifying moment when a woman realizes the life she's been chasing bears no resemblance to the one she actually wants. When Charlotte's carefully constructed web of secrets begins to unravel, she must decide whether the truth will destroy everything—or finally set her free.
