The Questing Heart
by Elizabeth Ashton (1991)
About this book
The big ambition of Clare's life was to write a romantic novel—but how could she, when she had absolutely no personal experience of love or romance? Then she met Christopher Raines, who was certainly romantic and an experienced man of the world—but was he really the best person to choose for her research? Wouldn't any experience she shared with him be likely to be hurtful rather than useful? For Chris's pet name for her was 'brown sparrow'! Where was that going to get her—especially when his old flame, Violetta Albanesi turned up, ready to rekindle the fire!
