Celia

From the height of the Season in London and Bath, to the quiet of the English countryside, each Sophia Holloway novel brings to life a rich world of characters, gentle humour and romantic drama. Each book can be read separately and in any order

The page-turning Regency romance from the author of Kingscastle and The Season...

First published as Bless Thine Inheritance by Sophia Holloway.

Celia Mardham's first London Season should have been a great success, but a near fatal riding accident has left her with a pronounced limp which means she cannot even curtsy, let alone dance.

Condemned it seems to spinsterhood, her mother Lady Mardham makes one last effort. She draws up a list of guests for a country house party, picking only young ladies who will not be rivals, as well as some potential suitors.

Among the gentlemen is Lord Levedale and when he meets Celia he sees her, not the limp. However, a number of accidents, misunderstandings and spiteful interventions litter the path ahead, and may succeed in driving them apart for good.

Perfect for fans of classic, slow -burn Regency romance authors like Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen
