About this listen

Having been the sole provider for her family since she was 16, Lady Annabelle Wyatt knows an awful lot about responsibility but sadly, very little about love. Richard Armstrong is just back from serving in the Army and is having difficulty filling his deceased father's shoes, as the new Duke of Hampshire.

Richard is enamoured from the moment he sets eyes on the hard working Annabelle but she is far too bound by duty to admit that she reciprocates his feelings. With a little meddling from Richard's mother, love seems to blossom between the pair, only to be threatened by Annabelle's vengeful brother. Can Richard and Annabelle find lasting happiness, or will her brother's wrath separate them permanently?

A Fun and Fretful Good Time...

Lady Annabelle Wyatt is left destitute when her older half-brother tries to rape her, then throws her and her mother out of the family home after her father's death. Fortunately, Annabelle is able to take her dowry and buy a house and a coffee shop. Enter Lord Richard, the King's nephew, fresh home from the army.

Annabelle owns her coffee-shop and is the cook and manager. She has had to go to extreme measures to prove her virtuousness despite being a shop owner. Richard watches Annabelle, and sees how she acts. Richard's mother hires Annabelle to cater a weekend getaway. As often happens, love blooms.

Historical drama, an evil, selfish half-brother, and misunderstandings all stand in the way of Richard and Annabelle's happiness.

This is a sweet, relatable, women's romantic fiction. A really enjoyable listen.
