    About this ebook

    MISS ELIZA’S GENTLEMAN CALLER is a Regency romance novel set in London just after Waterloo. Young and innocent, Miss Eliza Foxburn is genuinely alarmed to discover that her widower father, Sir Richard, is courting a young lady whose father is in trade! Worse yet, the chit is only nineteen, just one year older than Eliza! The tendre is making her father look like an old fool, at least to Eliza. Surely she can make him see that his impossible infatuation is a mistake. And what better way than to encourage an impossibly older man to come courting her!

    General March Huntley, a dashing officer of thirty-eight, is hardly over the hill. Back in London after a long campaign, he is making female hearts flutter. Yet he is vastly surprised when the lively Miss Eliza Foxburn asks him to call on her! When she steals a kiss, Huntley is pleased. But when he learns she is only playing a foolish game, Huntley, known as Wellington’s Master Strategist, plans a battle of his own: to outfox Miss Foxburn and teach her a lesson . . . in love.

    “The character’s and situations in this Regency are unbelievably clever and funny! I loved this book!” – Regency author, Melissa Frederick.

    “Miss Eliza’s Gentleman Caller is reminiscent of the best of Jane Austen; very well done and laugh out loud amusing! This one is sure to please.”–Red River Reviews.

      This book started out thoroughly enjoyable, lighthearted, and funny. About two-thirds through the book however the hero suddenly becomes a jerk and stays that way until the last page when he is easily forgiven by the heroine. His reasons for his actions were weak and showed great disrespect for the heroine. It ruined the book for me.
