    A man of faith. A woman with secrets. A love that tests them both. 
    Mr. Gilbert Fernley has never been a jealous man—until now. As the local vicar, he has devoted his life to faith, service, and the quiet contentment of guiding his parish. But when his twin brother’s recent marriage reveals a happiness Gilbert never thought to desire, he begins to wonder if his calling has room for love after all. With gentle persistence he agrees to a matchmaking scheme allowing his sisters-in-law to assist in finding him a wife. 
    Miss Eliza Davenport knows what it is to stand on the edges of Society. Though wealthy, her family’s fortune was earned through trade, not title, leaving her forever judged and never quite accepted. When an opportunity arises to improve her standing, Eliza accepts without hesitation only to find herself entangled in deception, theft, and a dangerous game she never agreed to play. 
    As Gilbert is drawn into the London Season he finds himself captivated by a woman of quiet strength and wounded hope. But Eliza carries a secret that threatens not only her reputation, but any future they might share. With truth and trust at odds, both must decide whether love is worth the risk—or if some hearts are destined to remain alone. 
    The Vicar and the Thief is a stand-alone novel in the Fernley Family series by author Angela E. Johnson. This is a clean Regency-era romance.

    She is as beautiful as a celestial nymph! She looks just like the fairies shown on TV; her skin so fair, like the fur of a white rabbit. When she comes with me to wander about in the field, I shall take her to the farm where the roses bloom. But, what if a thorn pricks her delicate skin? Well what of it? I shall be there to help her. I shall tear a bandage from my shirt and tie it around her hand. Her hand would be so soft to touch, just like the wings of a sparrow. I shall lead her to the nest of the weaver bird. She would surely like it. Girls like birds' nests. Should I give her a weaver bird's nest as a gift?
    No, no, she wouldn't like it.
    
    What if she tells me, 'The poor bird worked so hard to make that beautiful nest. How could you take it and leave the fledglings homeless? I don't like it. I hate you...' No, no, let me not do anything like that.
    
    Listen to the Silent Love story of Raamya.

    "They lived in a kind of hieroglyphic world, where the real thing was never said or done or even thought, but only uttered by a set of arbitrary signs."
    
    Newland Archer is a man of the elite, a gentleman lawyer perfectly aligned with the rigid social codes of 1870s New York. His life is meticulously planned, beginning with his engagement to the beautiful, conventional May Welland. But when May's cousin, the scandalous Countess Ellen Olenska, returns from Europe seeking a divorce, Archer's world is upended. Drawn to Ellen's independence and intellectual fire, he begins to question the very foundations of the society that sustains him.
    
    The Invisible Chains of Convention: Wharton brilliantly portrays a world where "the tribal ritual" of social life is more powerful than any individual passion. As Archer and Ellen's forbidden attraction grows, the weight of family expectation and the subtle, unspoken threats of social exile begin to close in. It is a story where a dinner party can be as deadly as a duel, and a raised eyebrow can signal the end of a reputation.
    
    A Pulitzer Prize-Winning Masterpiece: The Age of Innocence is a lush, satirical, and ultimately heartbreaking exploration of the sacrifice required to belong. Wharton, an insider of the world she describes, uses her exquisite prose to dissect the hypocrisy and the hidden beauty of a vanished era. It remains the definitive novel of the American Gilded Age—a timeless study of the conflict between the heart's longing and the world's demands.
    
    Step behind the velvet curtain of Old New York. Purchase "The Age of Innocence" today and experience the elegance and the agony of a world bound by decorum.
