About I Have Always Loved You, A Second Chance Regency Romance
Two People. Two Different Lives. One Love
Like the Roman matron for whom she is named, plain but clever Octavia seems destined for abandonment. Handsome, fun-loving and heir to an earldom, Dorian is the opposite. In Regency London, life for him is a game in which other people, including Octavia, are his pawns.
Everyone loves him until he does the unspeakable: he runs off with anther man’s wife.
Despite the permanent ache in her heart, Octavia spends her early and middle years building a life she loves as a village apothecary with people who love and appreciate her. Exiled Dorian spends most of his in regret.
When Fate brings them back together, will their shared memory keep them apart? Or can the past be forgotten and deep wounds be healed?
This story, told with wit and humour by the two main characters in turn, and shifting from Italy to England over a spread of more than twenty years, demonstrates the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of love.

Author Bio:
I was born in Portsmouth, England (no, I won’t tell you the date!), but I’ve lived in the USA for over 40 years.
During the 50’s and early 60’s my sister and I were at a convent boarding school in southern England.
I began writing Regency Romances in 2018 after the death of my dear sister. I can still see us in the convent under the bedcovers after lights out with a flashlight reading the Romances of Georgette Heyer. All my books are dedicated to her.
So far, I’ve written 16 Regency Romances, a Contemporary Romance and two Crime Romances. I’m 77 now and plan, to paraphrase Tennyson, To keep on writing beyond the sunset, and the baths/Of all the western stars, until I die.
