He dismounted from his steed and handed the reins to a stable boy. As he started up the steps to Essex’s country estate, he barely took in the scene. His mind filled with thoughts of Rose.
Her father stepped out onto the steps to greet him. “Your Grace,” he addressed Alex.
“Wonderful to see you again, Lord Essex.” He reached for the other man’s hand.
“Was Rose where I said she would be?”
“Indeed she was.” Alex kept his face neutral. For many reasons, it was best her father not see how enamored Alex already was with his daughter. That mattered little if Rose would not return his affections, and not just for a short time, but forever.
“And?”
“She is all you said she would be.”
“That is like saying nothing at all, Your Grace.” Her father grumbled. “May we continue our negotiations?”
“Indeed.” Alex gave a strained smile. The action still pulled at his scared skin but he paid it no mind. He gave all attention to making the lovely, Lady Rose his own.
ABOUT TAMMY ANDRESEN
Tammy Andresen lives with her husband and three children just outside of Boston, Massachusetts. She grew up on the Seacoast of Maine, where she spent countless days dreaming up stories in blueberry fields and among the scrub pines that line the coast. Her mother loved to spin a yarn and Tammy filled many hours listening to her mother retell the classics. It was inevitable that at the age of 18, she headed off to Simmons College, where she studied English literature and education. She never left Massachusetts but some of her heart still resides in Maine and her family visits often.

What the Critics are saying
“The characters are well-developed and interesting, the plot is edge-of-your-seat intriguing, and the setting is one with so much history. If you are a fan of history mixed with mystery and intrigue, you won't be disappointed.” Linda Thompson THE AUTHOR SHOW
“While the relationship between Lily and Eric is the primary focus of this story, the mystery/supense factor is what kept this from being JUST a historical romance. Lily in Bloom was a fast-paced, romantic read that I absoutely LOVED.”

”… it held not only a pure romance but the simple magic that goes with it. I was enchanted with this story from the beginning until the end and I didn’t want it to end. I wanted it to go on.” Robin
