Lord Freddie's First Love

Description for LORD FREDDIE'S FIRST LOVE by Patricia Bray:

HER CHILDHOOD FRIEND

After six years abroad, Anne Webster returned to New Biddeford with a child at her side--a child whose unruly red hair and mischievous green eyes left society no doubt as to the identity of his mother! Though five-year-old Ian was really Anne's nephew, her dead sister's child, nothing could erase the stigma with which she had been branded. Anne's girlhood companion George Harold Arthur Pennington, Viscount Frederick, was the only person to offer friendship--and then, a rapturous love. And yet, how could Anne allow Freddie to destroy his life by marrying a woman with a tarnished reputation such as hers?

HIS TRUEST LOVE

Even if young Ian was the child of another man, Lord Freddie refused to abandon his first, and only, love. He'd had quite enough of the ton's silly customs, and vowed to let nothing keep him from his dearest Anne--not even his mother's determined plans to have him marry someone proper. Then life turned complicated when Ian's father appeared quite unexpectedly--causing tongues to wag anew--and Anne refused Lord Freddie's proposal of marriage. Freddie's spirits were surely dashed--until Anne found the courage to share with him a very special secret...and her always loyal heart.
