Lucy Blake appeals to the two handsome men vying for her affections to deal with Jaspar Hayes, the man who has pursued her for years, leaving her broken flowers and vowing to expose a secret from her past. Original.
Barbara (Booth) Hazard, a resident of Exeter, NH, died on October 25, 2019 in Boston, MA surrounded by family. Born in 1931 in Fall River, MA, the daughter of Albert L. and Lillian (Holland) Booth, she was raised and educated in New England. She graduated from Rhode Island School of Design in 1953 and was briefly employed by Ginn & Company in Boston as a Technical Editor. She married Donald T. Hazard in 1954 and next worked as a Graphic Designer/Artist for a Concord, NH advertising firm.
Originally trained as a musician, Mrs. Hazard also studied oil painting with Amy Jones and for a time had several shows in New York and Vermont. She began to write historical fiction in 1978. First published in 1981, she went on to write and publish 48 books, several of which are also in circulation abroad. She won several awards for her writing.
Mrs. Hazard wrote that there were several things in her life that she was most proud of; being Concertmaster of the MA All State Orchestra in Symphony Hall in Boston, having a successful career as an artist and as a writer, which was her greatest love besides her husband, three sons and their wives.
She loved New England and in particular, Cape Cod, which she visited every year for most of her life. Her other loves included her family, reading and music. She also wrote under the pen name of Lillian Lincoln.
Trad regency, with a stalker tormenting and following young widow Lucy, Lady Blake, who is hiding a terrible secret from her past. Can her friend the dowager Duchess of Latham or one of her two suitors, the irrepressible Lord Bradford Gray, or the serious Gareth Powell help her to deal with mr Hayes, or will she have to deal with him herself.
Nice twist having more of a thriller plot. Lucy seems unaware of Gareth’s interest in her, and the plot is mainly about the stalker.
