Seduction

Lana wants her nineteen year old daughter, Amelia, to have a life without turmoil and pain. She definitely does not want her to fall in love, as she did with Amelia's father, George, the Viscount Burleigh. Lana was George's mistress until he abandoned her and left her in the hands of the awful Lord Richter. Lana has never forgiven George, and when he appears in the now respectable Lana's life, she is sure it does not bode well. But then feelings resurface and truths are told, and suddenly Lana isn't quite sure how she feels about George.

George loved Lana, but was forced to walk away from her due to family pressures. Now his daughter Amelia has begged him to intervene when Lana engages matchmaker Lady Deborah Lorimer to find a suitable husband. One Amelia doesn't love. George, who has endured a loveless marriage for the past eighteen years, steps in. But when he learns what happened to Lana after he left her, and discovers how much he still cares, he is torn in two.

Can George and Lana recapture the love they once had? Or is it too late?

This is the 2nd novella in the Mockingbird Square series 2.
