Before I Found You. A de Courtenay Novella, #3

A quest for a title. An encounter with a stranger. Will she choose love? Miss Miranda de Courtenay has only one goal in life: to find a rich husband who can change her status from Missto My Lady. But when a handsome stranger crosses her path at a Valentine's Day ball, her obsession with titles dims. Might love be enough? Captain Jasper Rousseau has no plans to become infatuated during a chance encounter at a ball.
He has a new ship to run, passengers to book, and cargo to deliver. But one look into a young lady's beautiful hazel eyes, and he becomes lost. Does love at first sight really exist? Their paths continue to cross until they are both stranded in Fenwick on Sea. Their growing connection is hard to dismiss, despite Miranda's childish quest for a title at all cost. But what if the cost includes love? Before I Found You first appeared in the Bluestocking Belles' 2021 box set Storm & Shelter. It is now available for individual sale.
