Violet: Free Preview —The First 19 Chapters
A Top 10 Kindle Bestseller from a New York Times Bestselling Author!
Read the first 19 chapters FREE in this special preview! England, 1673: The Ashcroft family motto is "Question Convention," and wallflower Violet agrees with the sentiment completely. For one thing, she's not planning to marry. Plain Violet is smart enough to realize any suitors would be after her large inheritance, or else interested in her beautiful younger sisters--and she'd much rather spend her time improving her mind than risking her tender heart... Having wasted six years wooing a lady who eloped with another man, Ford Chase, Viscount Lakefield, has had it with women. Ford would much rather spend his time pursuing the sciences and constructing the first watch with a minute hand. Having his young niece dropped in his lap proves an unwelcome, annoying distraction...until an uncommonly intelligent neighbor named Violet comes to help... PLEASE This book contains steamy love scenes. If you’d prefer to read a Sweet & Clean (kisses only) version of this story, look for “The Viscount’s Wallflower Bride” by Lauren Royal & Devon Royal.

About the author
Lauren Royal
73 books519 followersFALL IN LOVE WITH A HISTORICAL ROMANCE BY LAUREN ROYAL!
LAUREN ROYAL is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of humorous historical romance. Her “truly enchanting” novels have won many awards including Booklist's “Top 10 Romance of the Year,” and they’ve earned raves from reviewers including Publishers Weekly, who calls her “an impressive talent.”
All of Lauren's books are complete, stand-alone stories, and yet they are also all connected—because they all feature her beloved “outrageously funny, loyal, compassionate, and unconventional” Chase family!
Lauren writes steamy historical romance on her own and sweet/clean historical romance with her daughter, Devon Royal. Lauren lives in Southern California with her family, two constantly shedding cats, and a stupendous collection of fuzzy socks. When she's not busy writing, she enjoys singing along (off-key) to Hamilton, dancing (badly), and (wasting time) watching HGTV.

Fun Romp in the 1600’s
This author surprised me, and I am delighted. Though there are quite a few anachronisms, the characters are well-wright and the editing is flawless.

First 19 Chapters of Violet
Although I have not yet read the final chapters I am going to buy and read it asap. This is a story about the third brother of the Chase family. While taking care of his niece he meets a neighbor who is not like the usual Lady.
