Lady Isabella Riley has always known she's different. She
has a passion about her that leads her to unladylike
thoughts. Instead of fantasizing about such things,
Isabella wants to experience them. Caught in a compromising
situation one fateful night, Isabella knows her only hope
of becoming worthy once again of being Phillip's sister is
to wed a stranger -- Lord Stirling. A kind and gentle man he
is not.
Five years of loneliness has passed with Isabella abandoned
in Scotland with only her roses and books as company. Then
her cousin, who's visiting from France, comes up with a
solution to fill Isabella's lonely days and nights. What
she needs is a handsome man who can give her some attention
with no expectations other than the obvious.
Mr. Gideon Rosedale arrives at Isabella's estate for a
fortnight...of what? He does not yet know, but he will soon
find out. Gideon earns his living pleasuring women. Long
ago, he realized physical assets could not fill the void
where a family should reside. If anything, it makes him
understand just how alone he is in the world. And as he
stands on Isabella's front lawn overlooking her gardens, he
knows why he is here. Lady Stirling is lonely.
Their hours together are thoroughly enjoyable with time
passing too quickly. Gideon carefully guards the boundaries
where true emotion crosses with physical pleasure. In his
business, that is a must. But somehow his "Bella" keeps
slipping beneath his defenses. It is simple arrogance to
believe he has met a woman who truly intrigues him. Gideon
is thankful to have recognized it this early as "something
that can never be."
Talk to a passionate woman who has met a kind man, a man
who gives her confidence and the courage to simply be
herself, a man who truly makes her feel alive for the first
time in her life, an ideal companion who makes her forget
he has been hired; such a woman with a full heart will stop
at nothing to have that man. Gideon must remain with her
and she will see to it that it happens. And Gideon is
deserving of just as much happiness. He must stop thinking
of Bella as a client and start thinking of her as the woman
he loves.
Ms. Collins has written a very tender and passionate love
story that really tugs at your heartstrings. Her characters
are lovely, imperfect people who are strong, courageous and
good. The plot gently moves forward revealing intriguing
and unexpected twists that turn an adventure of the heart
into an adventure of a lifetime. HER LADYSHIP'S COMPANION
is exciting, thrilling, sensual and pure reading bliss.
A debut novel of erotic intensity set in the Regency
era.
In the Scottish countryside of Selkirk,
Lady Isabella Stirling resides at Bowhill Park, serving
penance for a sin that nearly ruined her family. For five
years she has been condemned to a loveless marriage and
confined to the estate where she does little more than
tend her rose garden. With her husband absent for months
at a time and few visitors, Bella lives a lonely
existence, denying the passions that burn within her very
soul.
Then her cousin comes for a visit and makes
an outrageous suggestion: what Bella needs is a lover. A
hired lover. Despite her need, Bella says no. But soon Mr.
Gideon Rosedale arrives—and he is at her service for two
weeks. Indulging in what she intends to be a harmless
flirtation, Bella is overcome by Gideon’s intoxicating
presence. And when she at last permits him to satisfy her
desires, she discovers she’s done the unthinkable—she’s
fallen in love.
