In every book I try to include a little bit of history that might be an insight into a world long gone but still beloved by so many. The panorama visit by Jake, Rose and Lucy is a description of a real place and event during the time frame of this story. Panoramas were a forerunner of the movies we love to watch today. The size of the building, the care with which the scenes were painted and presented, were a testament to human creative ingenuity.
Everyone flocked to the Leicester Square Rotunda to see the latest panorama offered by the owner Robert Barker for nearly seventy years. The painted views provided a window on other parts of the world, and were not only painted with painstaking accuracy, but decorated with artefacts to add to their realism. People viewing these vistas often became nauseous because of the realism and unaccustomed scope. Barkerâs Rotunda still exists in London today, tucked in between buildings in Leicester Squareâand, fittingly enough, the only way it can be seen is from above.
I do hope you like Rose and Jakeâs journey to happiness, and enjoy reading the series as much as we authors have enjoyed writing it for you.

Thank you, ladies, for being such a wonderful group to work with on this project.
Contents
Entering the ownersâ private quarters at the gentlemanâs club Vitium et Virtus, Jake, Duke of Westmoor, stifled a groan at the sight of the other two founding members lounging in heavy leather armchairs placed around a low table. One of the two empty chairs was his. The fourth supported a small gilded box.
âThis was the reason you sent for me?â
Even seated, the brown-haired, brown-eyed Frederick Challenger had a military air. At Jakeâs words he snapped to attention and glowered. âIt may have escaped your lofty notice, Your Grace, but today is the sixth anniversary of Nicholasâs disappearance.â
Jake tensed at the use of his title. The significance of the date had indeed escaped his notice, busy as he was with the affairs of the Duchy, but he wasnât about to admit it. âI thought we were beyond all this.â He had enough reminders of loss at home without adding to them here. The one place he thought of as a refuge.
