My story is Seaside Summer: Miss Veronica Montgomery depends on help from the manager of a seaside hotel, wounded warrior Captain Drew, to deflect the marriage proposals insisted upon by her mother and sister. But what happens when Ronnie and Drew fall in love?

The 'internal' cover for my story again features a Regency-era fashion plate, this one from Ackermann's Repository of Arts, Plate 23, October, 1815.

​Here is the magazine's description:

'Walking Dress'  A round robe of fine cambric or jaconot muslin, ornamented with a double flounce of French needlework at the feet, under an open pelisse, composed of French Grey sarsnet, lined with salmon colour; the upper part of the sleeves (s)lashed with satin of corresponding coulour fulled and let in. A full ruff of needle-work, and a small French Handkerchief  round the neck. French hat of the satin straw, with a quilling of net round the rim; three  rows of grey satin ribbon plain or quilled, round the crown and a full plume of white feathers, edged to correspond. Slippers, blue or red Morocco. Gloves, York tan.

​Cambric is a fairly stiff-woven cotton fabric, more substantial than muslin; jaconot is an even heavier cotton. Sarsnet is thin silk, usually shiny. The colors: French Grey and salmon appear a bit dimmed in this print, which like most of the others in fashion magazines of that period, were engraved in black and white and hand colored.
