Get set for real treat from Emma Orchard as we return to the somewhat extraordinary world of the Constantine family, in To All The Earl’s I’ve Loved Before, as we join Bianca in Vienna in 1817, thoroughly enjoying her life as a painter and Widow, a guise created to allow her to move freely about the Town as a single woman.

Xan Challender has come to Vienna to see the sights. He is a widower still mourning his wife, their relationship one that was fraught with issues and his young son, left in England with a beloved Aunt. He is somewhat overwhelmed by the immense beauty that is Vienna. A chance meeting between the two leads to a short-lived affair of the heart, which while deeply passionate, is cut short by Bianca.

The next time the two meet is in London at the home of the now Lord Fairmount as she has been commissioned to paint the portrait of his son Adrian. Master Adrian is a delightful child and the two build a friendship valued on both sides.

A day like any other day turned out to be anything but as Xan, now Lord Fairmount, upon the death of his dissolute brother, and Bianca meet unexpectedly in his townhouse, shocking them both, bringing back memories that still have the power to hurt deeply.

The old saying comes true, as what a tangled web they both did weave in Vienna, which is now forcing them both to not only face themselves, but sort through the mess they have made of their romance.

As the days pass, they dance around each other, until young Adrian becomes seriously unwell, calling for his friend Bianca.  Being in daily proximity is a small torture, but also makes the benighted lovers realise that they may be, could be, are almost surely in love. But what to do about it is the real question. She wants her freedom to paint, and he simply wants to marry her!

Join in the chaos that ensues as you turn the pages of To All The Earl’s I’ve Loved Before and enjoy every moment of this most enjoyable Regency Romp.
