Most of them are well kept and naive to point but seem to know that there is so much more in the world and in life.
The books are a passionette stroll in the past. I

Harry knew he had a bad reputation as a rake & a gambler . He knew the folly of wanting what he could not have . But a chance meeting sparked a fire in his heart for impetuous young Miss Eliza . Eliza had heard the ...more
