Follow a Shadow

Follow a Shadow is a romance novel by the British writer Anne Hampson, issued by Mills & Boon in this printing of 191 pages.

Laura Vernon is in love with Lord Bren Dewar and has no expectation that a man from an old Border family, with the reputation that goes with it, will ever notice her. What she hears by accident is Lady Margaret telling Bren that they do not want Laura to fall in love with him, which suggests that somebody has been thinking about the possibility. Bren's interest in her is steady and difficult to explain, and Laura spends the book working out what lies behind the warning and what he means by the attention he gives her. She is also aware of how far apart their positions are, and that nothing about the match would make sense to anybody watching.
