A chaste, entertaining Regency novel. 

Left with nothing but debts after their father’s death, Anne and Polly Selby have no choice but to let the house and seek employment, bidding farewell to a genteel life. 

Anne becomes a governess – but is dismissed within weeks, though not before losing her heart to a debt-ridden gamester.

Polly, companion to testy, demanding Lady Thrutchbeck, falls seriously ill. Recovering, she finds herself courted by a gentleman she has never met.

Does Polly's suitor intend marriage, or does he only want a sympathetic ear for his memories of his dead wife? Will Anne's rake truly reform, or is he merely making empty promises? Is there a chance for their happiness? And what has happened to the mysterious valise mentioned by their father in his last words?

Arabella Brown

Arabella Brown is a pen name of Henye Meyer. Mrs. Meyer has published a number of books for a specific niche market, so to differentiate, she uses Arabella Brown for Regencies and other types of fiction such as SF and genre stories. All of her writing is absolutely clean. She loves writing historical fiction but occasionally has dreams too interesting to resist turning into stories.

Mrs. Meyer was born in North America but now lives in the U.K. in a Victorian semi-detached bungalow, an unusual configuration. It has a larger garden (mostly vertical) than you expect to find in the city, which she keeps as nature-friendly as possible, attracting a wide variety of birds as well as foxes (of course), newts, hedgehogs, and deer.

Mrs. Meyer has an exceptionally tolerant husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and a lively sense of humor.
