The Wallflowers

Four young ladies at the side of the ballroom make a pact to help each other find husbands . . . no matter what it takes

Proud and beautiful Annabelle Peyton could have her pick of suitors—if only she had a dowry. Her family is on the brink of disaster, and the only way Annabelle can save them is to marry a wealthy man. Unfortunately her most persistent admirer is the brash Simon Hunt, a handsome and ambitious entrepreneur who wants her as his mistress.

Annabelle is determined to resist Simon's wicked propositions, but she can't deny her attraction to the boldly seductive rogue, any more than he can resist the challenge she presents. As they try to outmaneuver each other, they find themselves surrendering to a love more powerful than they could have ever imagined. But fate may have other plans—and it will take all of Annabelle's courage to face a peril that could destroy everything she holds dear.

This edition of Secrets of a Summer Night contains an altered version of the content that appeared in the original 2004 edition.

Loved it!

Simon’s character was just so perfect and Annabelle was just straight out annoying, not just if she had other qualities except being pretty. I’m not sure that the reason of being a wallflower was credible but all in all the story was good because Simon was so excellent - the declaration at the end was heart melting

Good narrator

Good story fast paced and enjoyable read. It has been entertaining as I drive to and from work

2004 Edition better.

I had a copy of the 2004 edition so I could see what was removed, the whole prologue. I cannot understand why that was removed and an alternative not written. This version is simply not as good as the original, and that’s unfortunate. Roslyn Landor, she always does a superb job.

beautiful!

This was like a poem written in story format. Such a beautiful story with dramatic love lines. The narrator did a great job too. The story line is very similar to North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. I LOVE this book and plan to relisten in the near future.

love the story love the series love the author

do not like that they shortened the book
there's no reason to have shortened this book the original book with the prologue is a better story
