A Touch of Velvet

by Regina Jeffers

Overview

After years away from England, members of the Realm return home to claim the titles and the lives they once abandoned. Each man holds on to the fleeting dream of finally knowing love. For now, all any of them can hope is the resolutions of their previous difficulties before Shaheed Mir, their old enemy, finds them and exacts his revenge. Mir seeks a mysterious emerald, and he believes one of the Realm has it. No one finds his soul mate when she is twelve and he seventeen, but Brantley Fowler, the Duke of Thornhill, always thought he had found his. The memory of Velvet Aldridge's face was the only thing that kept him alive all those years he remained estranged from his family. Now, he has returned to Kent to claim his title and the wom- an he loves, but first he must obliterate the memory of his infamous father, while staving off numerous attacks from Mir's associates. Velvet Aldridge always believed in "happily ever after." Yet, when Brantley Fowler returns home, he has a daughter and his wife's memory to accompany him. He promised her eight years prior that he would return to make her his wife, but Thornhill only offers her a Season and a dowry. How can she make him love her? Make him her "knight in shining armor"? Regency England has never been hotter or more dangerous.
