After the Winter — Buffy Greentree
A 1920's romance with the lighthearted banter of Georgette Heyer and the fun and fashion of the Art Deco period.
"'You, sir, are a flirt.' Miss Lucinda Hargraves held firmly onto her hat.
‘A flirt?' The play of the smile around his mobile mouth was rather distracting.
‘Yes … I think. I have not had a lot of experience, but I think so.'
‘And are you not worried about being seen alone in a car with me, if I'm such a terrible flirt?'
‘Well, I have to admit I did consider it, but in all honesty, no one would ever think I was the type of woman a man like you would find interesting.' She took a deep breath. ‘It is actually quite a liberating experience.'"
It's the roaring 20's and Lord George Everdale has a reputation he wants to maintain; fast cars, easy women, good times.
Lucinda Hargraves has a reputation she believes can't be damaged; a prudent spinster now in possession of a large fortune.
So when Lord Everdale comes crashing into Miss Hargraves' life, it seems an unlikely pairing to everyone. But could Lord Everdale be correct, that opposites attract? Or is Miss Hargraves more on course when she predicts that a playboy never changes?
