The Assistant Guest Post & Giveaway
It’s a perfect day for this post, since I just got home from the fabric store myself. There were no surprise visitors awaiting me when I returned, however.
Good Morning everyone,
My first post this month is a guest post from Riana Everly who has recently release a Pride and Prejudice prequel called The Assistant, and whom I absolutely love to receive at From Pemberley to Milton.

Good day to you,
I do hope you will forgive me if I do not remove my bonnet and mask. Even the heaviest veil was insufficient to conceal my features, and I must remain hidden and unknown, for your safety as much as for my own. If he should discover where I am, or that you know me… Thank goodness the fashion is for bonnets with deep brims this year!
But I digress, and I must not alarm you. I am satisfied that my disguise is robust, and that…
