The Lady and the Piano Kindle Edition by Helena Davis

A historical romance in the Jane Austen tradition, set in pastoral England.

The young, lovely, chestnut-haired Perdita Ellison has fallen on hard times and is forced to work for a living – a most indecorous situation for a lady of quality. She finds solace, however, in her piano playing. Highly independent, Perdita is a sworn spinster by choice. She rents a cottage on Cedarwood Estate, whose stately manor house is presently inhabited by the flamboyant, aristocratic Mrs Phillips and her husband. Perdita is indebted to the well-meaning George Fairhurst, her lovelorn suitor, who has helped her and her brother in their time of financial struggle, and later reluctantly promises to marry him in a moment of pressured obligation.

Further complications arise when the long-absent landlord of Cedarwood Estate, Roland Argyle, returns unexpectedly. Highly born though he may be, Argyle has a dubious past that soon sends scandal-mongers’ tongues wagging. Perdita finds herself reluctantly drawn to the formidable landlord. Ultimately, disaster strikes, banishing him from everything he loves, to face a horrifying fate. Will Perdita remain a willing spinster after all…
