An Unlikely Suitor
is Book 14 in
The Steepwood Scandal
Series and will be published in the UK

Lavender Brabant is a bluestocking who finds
herself drawn irresistibly to Barnabas Hammond, the
adopted son of the draper in Abbot's Quincey. Lavender is
an heiress and the daughter of an Admiral. Barnabas is an
enigma - his parentage is shrouded in a scandalous
mystery and he is far below her on the social scale. How
can Lavender follow her heart and find true happiness
with her unlikely suitor?

Nicola's Notes
My second book in
The Steepwood Scandal is the sequel to
A
Companion of Quality.
When I was researching for my two books in The
Steepwood Scandal I went to the Salcey Forest, an old oak
woodland in Northamptonshire. Originally one of the Royal
Hunting Forests, it dates back to the time of William the
Conqueror and contains open grassy "lawns"
which were used to provide hay and pasture for deer and
cattle. These days the Forest contains a mix of oak, ash
and conifer and is cared for by the Forestry Commission.
Nearby is Sulgrave Manor, which I used as the basis for
Hewly Manor. Sulgrave, the home of George Washington's
ancestors, is a beautiful Tudor manor house with a
glorious rose and lavender garden.
