Synopsis
Catherine
Haywood is destined to marry well. Her father has
even selected a suitable husband for her - Mr Larkin
of Ellis Park. Haunted by the scandalous fate that
befell Miss Mackerby eight years ago, she becomes
engaged to him, determined that history will not repeat
itself. But then she meets James, Mr Larkin's groom...
Set against the bitter class struggles of the Regency
period, this historical romance unfolds the story
of an unfeasible relationship between a lady of the
gentry and her fiancé's manservant.
Quote
'If
that stable boy were a gentleman, I am sure I should
be half in love with him by now! He looks very well
indeed, do not you find?' Catherine was too much appalled
at Sarah's want of delicacy to reply. As they were
returning home, however, Catherine's curiosity overcame
her modesty and she stole a glance at James. She felt
as though she had never really looked at him before.
His hair was as untidy as ever and his clothes were
certainly unimpressive, being the commonest livery.
But beneath the brim of his top hat, she could see
that his eyes glittered like two dark jewels and his
strong nose seemed sculpted from stone. It was altogether
a more handsome face than any she had yet come across
in a ballroom and she found she must agree with her
friend. If James were a gentleman, she certainly might
be in some danger. Then she suddenly remembered the
destitute Miss Mackerby and looked away in horror.

a deadly freedom.

Synopsis
One year ago UKAuthors.com, a website where prose
and poetry writers display their work, published a
seminal collection of writing chosen democratically
in the true spirit of the Internet to showcase the
excellence of writing available on the site, and to
dismiss for ever the prejudices about the inferior
standard of World Wide Web writing. This is believed
to have been a world "first" for a Web writing
site to cross the barrier into print without editorial
intervention of any kind beyond considerations of
space. Its case now established beyond question, and
following up on this exciting innovation, UKAuthors.com
is proud to present it's latest collection, once again
chosen by the votes of all UKAuthors.com's thousands
of members to represent la crème de la crème
of new work appearing on the site. In the second Voices
anthology, UKAuthors has surpassed even the spectacular
quality of the first selection and invites comparison
with the absolute best short prose and poetry writing
available anywhere. With the second Voices From
the Web anthology the project simply goes from
strength to strength. Enjoy the contents: we worked
hard to create this book and we know you will.

Synopsis
It's been said that a man must first move himself
before he can move the hearts of others. In this diverse
collection, each poem not only captures the thoughts
of its readers, but aspires to touch their souls,
as well. Individually, each piece of the puzzle proves
thought-provoking and heartfelt. Collectively, however,
the entire portrait provides undeniable evidence that
none of us is ever alone.
Omma
Velada has one poem published in this anthology:
Sonnet for my Sister
