It’s hard not to be doom and gloom when the sky is gross orange and the smoke in the air is making your chest hurt. This picture is the sunrise this morning. YUCK! It looks like orange sherbet. I hate orange sherbet. The picture doesn’t do it much justice. It also doesn’t help that hubby and I have been watching “The Walking Dead”. Yes… we are VERY late to the party on that one. Just to lighten my mood I have been watching season three of Bridgerton. Tee Hee!!! No zombies, no apocalypse, and beautiful gardens. Perfect!

Whether it stands in glory or in ruin, wooing is always best done at a castle… Castles and Courtship is a series of clean and sweet Regency romances that can be enjoyed in any order.

She wants to be left alone with her family’s castle. He wants to show off the home he has just inherited. Neither of them can win.

Marianne Edgewood is perfectly capable of running Brindale Castle, if only the task would be left to her. A centuries-old house of stone is solid, unchanging, whereas people are not to be relied upon. It matters little that a stranger inherited the castle. She must simply find a way to stay.

At last, fate has been kind to Peregrine Osborne, and he has won the approval of his baron uncle, his London friends, and the deed to a castle in Kent. He certainly deserves his success after suffering a series of setbacks through no fault of his own. If only the property’s comely resident, Miss Edgewood, didn’t stand in the way of his urgent attempts to bring the castle to its proper glory.

When Perry embarks on a whirlwind renovation of Brindale, Marianne proves to be confoundingly resistant to his efforts. As Perry finds it increasingly difficult to make her see things his way, he begins to question whether having his way at all costs is worth forcing Marianne from everything she has ever known. And Marianne must decide whether a cold pile of stones is truly a replacement for a warm, beating heart.
