A VERY DIFFICULT MAN is my current release from Cerridwen Press. Check it out at www.anitabirt.com. Read an excerpt and buy my book! It's a historical romance. My hero, Richard, Lord Glenmore, has returned to England from the Crimean War. Wounded in body and soul, he has cut himself off from society and remains isolated in his darkened rooms at Glenmore Manor. Only his mother, uncle and his valet. In modern terms, Richard is suffering Post Traumatic Syndrome.
His mother is concerned about his mental health and engages a young lady to read to him and, hopefully, encourage him to open the draperies in his rooms and let in the light. Catherine Thurston thought she'd been engaged to read to a young lady like herself and is shocked to discover her charge is Lord Glenmore. He doesn't want a companion, male or female, and determines to get rid of Catherine by fair means or foul.
The conflict between Richard and Catherine raises the stakes in my story. The are interesting secondary characters. Richard's handsome brother, Randall, returns from soldiering in Afghanistan (yes the the conflict goes back centuries) add a beautiful gypsy fortune teller to the mix and the story sings.
Enjoy the day.
