“Dashell held her by the elbow to steady her and found he was looking at the most beautiful face he had ever seen. Soft wavy brown hair, incredible sea green eyes, slightly prominent cheekbones in a heart-shaped face, and a lovely mouth. He was almost tongue-tied.”

Elizabeth Chanter was born in London, England, emigrated to Canada in 1996, and settled in Vancouver for a number of years. Although coming from London, she was more of a country woman at heart, preferring the country life and finding even Vancouver too much city. In 1973, she moved to Victoria on Vancouver Island.
This was more to her liking, as she found accommodation where she could have pets. So there began a succession of cats and dogs, but not all at the same time. She also enjoyed joining craft fairs as a vendor, joining activities usually associated with smaller communities, and making numerous friends. Elizabeth is now retired and is living in an apartment block for active seniors.
The classic romance novel “The House on Becket Lane” presents the story of Lord Dashell Londale, one of the most sought-after bachelors in London, but few—even Lord Lonsdale himself—know that despite appearances, his family fortune is not as secure as he believes. When a chance encounter with an unknown lady on the street shakes his seemingly stable world, the young lord has no idea how to react.
She is Caroline, the younger of two daughters in a family that carries a burden of secrets as well. All they know is that their mother’s tongue is silenced not by pride but by fear, and she took her secret to her grave. Now Caroline lives in a house with only her stepfather to guide her.
Lord Lonsdale exploits his station to learn about her identity and where she lives. His arrival triggers an angry quarrel between Caroline and her stepfather. Horrified to have caused such tension within her family, he departs with the promise to return the next day.
But duty calls him away before he can keep his promise. He learns that, thanks to the gambling debts of his brother, his family is on the brink of financial ruin. He has no choice but to turn his attention to restoring the family’s fortune and honor. Now Caroline has her own secret to share, and what she must tell him may end their love before it can begin.
“The House on Becket Lane” is a brilliantly written masterpiece that far exceeds the expectations of every reader. The novel has much more than simply romance. Readers will have a difficult time putting this book down.
