Til First Snow - E-book - ePub

19th Century Gilded Age Erotic Romance Lydia, a free-spirited artist, goes toe-to-toe with a successful businessman while trespassing on his private property.  And she's as unapologetic then as she is later about her impoverished circumstances. So, she's homeless and nearly penniless? To her mind, happiness is more important than financial security. Lydia knows who she is and where's she's going. If a few societal dictates get broken along the way -- so be it! Ben, the wealthy recluse whose privacy Lydia violates, has worked hard to get where he is.  And now that he's arrived, happiness has still managed to elude him. Except when Lydia is in his bed. Though he's bought and paid for her virginity, and she's his as long as the weather holds, now it's time for him to leave, to return to the life he's come to loathe. And leave his heart behind.
