    A Bachelor Establishment

    Jodi Taylor

    Formats & Editions

    A sparkling historical romance from the internationally bestselling author of the CHRONICLES OF ST MARY'S series. High adventure and dark mystery combine in this novel from Jodi Taylor writing as Isabella Barclay.

    Elinor Bascombe, widowed and tied to an impoverished estate, has learned to ask little of life. With no hope of leaving, the years have passed her by.

    Lord Ryde, exiled abroad after a scandal, has returned to strip his estate and make a new start in America.

    A chance encounter changes their plans, plunging Elinor and Lord Ryde into adventure and not a little peril until, finally, they are forced to confront the mystery of what happened on That Night, all those years ago.

    Are they both so entangled in the riddles of the past that they are about to miss this one last opportunity for future happiness?

    LOSE TRACK OF TIME IN THE WORLD OF JODI TAYLOR

    Jodi Taylor is the internationally bestselling author of over thirty novels and more short stories than you can shake a stick at.

    Her Chronicles of St Mary's series follows a bunch of disaster-prone individuals who investigate major historical events in contemporary time. Do NOT call it time travel! She is also the author of the Time Police books. Set in the same world as St Mary's, this spinoff charts the highs and lows of an all-powerful, international organisation tasked with keeping the Timeline straight no matter what the cost. Efficient and disciplined, obviously they're nothing like St Mary's. Except when they are. And when a short story set in the same world accidentally grew into a full-length novel, the Smallhope & Pennyroyal series was born, following the adventures of two unlikely partners in crime.

    Jodi is also known for her gripping supernatural thrillers featuring the mysterious Elizabeth Cage together with the enchanting Frogmorton Farm series - a fairy story for adults.

    Born in Bristol and now living in Gloucester (facts both cities vigorously deny), she spent many years with her head somewhere else, much to the dismay of family, teachers and employers, before finally deciding to put all that daydreaming to good use and write a book. And then another twenty nine after that. And she hasn't finished yet.
