Violet
by Lauren Royal

Violet Ashcroft has decided not to get married. Especially since most suitors would surely have their eyes on her inheritance or her ravishing younger sister. And Violet is convinced her eligible and handsome neighbor, Ford Chase, is no exception. He'd certainly never sincerely be interested in a woman as serious and self-conscious as she.

Lauren Royal's Bio

Lauren Royal became interested in the Restoration period at the age of fourteen, when she sneaked a valuable first- edition copy of Forever Amber out of her great-uncle's library. She began amassing a collection of history books and taking copious notes with the intention of someday writing novels of her own. A fourteen-year career as the CEO of her own jewelry store chain delayed those dreams, but she never forgot them. Lauren lives in southern California with her family.
