Lord Dashwood Missed Out

Miss Elinora "Nora" Browning grew up loving the handsome, clever lord next door, only to watch him leave England without a word. One night, fortified by a bit too much sherry, she poured her heartbreak onto the page; Lord Dashwood Missed Out became an instant bestseller and a rallying cry for every woman a gentleman ever overlooked.

George Travers, Lord Dashwood, has spent years abroad as a cartographer and comes home meaning to marry and produce an heir, only to find his reputation shredded by an audacious bluestocking's poison pen.

When a snowstorm strands Nora and Dash together en route to Spindle Cove, he finally seems to notice her, and challenges her to prove, in one night, that he really did miss out. Tessa Dare's Spindle Cove novella pairs former neighbors with old unfinished feelings against a classic storm-stranded setup.
