This month’s featured author is Linore Rose Burkard, author of three regency era novels. Linore have very graciously appeared on this blog before. Believing I had already interviewed her, I did not give her my customary 2-4 week reminder. Because I waited so long, we’re still trying to touch base. That could very well delay her interview and book giveaway – I’m so sorry!
As I try to make this work, I thank you for your patience. And in the meantime, here’s a a bit about Linore’s newest release, “A Country House Courtship”.

Readers are loving the third volume in Linore’s regency series from Harvest House Publishers,The Country House Courtship in which
a young regency miss runs into conflict when her heart’s desires concerning a husband run counter to what her mind says is best.

It is 1818 and Miss Beatrice Forsythe is determined to marry well. After all, her sister married the Paragon, Mr. Phillip Mornay, five years earlier–which all but guarantees that she, Beatrice, can also make a famous match to a wealthy man.

But her sister and husband have disappeared from high society as they raise a family at their country estate.
Can Beatrice persuade them to chaperone her in London?

Meanwhile an old acquaintance, Mr. Peter O’Brien shows up at the house as the candidate for a vicarage to which Mr. Mornay holds the rights. Will old passions and jealousies be revived? Or can Mr. O’Brien and the Mornays ever live near each other as friends? And what about Beatrice’s rash promise to marry the curate, made years earlier? At seventeen now, she has no wish to marry a mere clergyman–despite his agreeable countenance and winsome gentle ways.

When Mr. Tristan Barton comes on the scene as the tenant of the Manor House, Beatrice’s hopes seem to have found their object. But when Ariana falls gravely ill, secrets come to light, motives are revealed, and the pretences that are easy to keep up in the sunlight begin to crumble. Hearts are bared, truths uncovered, and when all is said and done, a country house courtship like no other has occurred!
