About this ebook
A smalltown librarian hopes to live out her days as a spinster, but a surprise visitor could change those plans in this Regency romance novella.
At Spinster House, a woman can enjoy the spoils of single life—or find the love of a lifetime . . .
It has been twenty years since Lord William Wattles laid eyes on Annabelle Frost. Still, he remembers everything—her ethereal beauty, her bookish intelligence, her surprisingly modern attitudes about love...and lust. But Belle's allegedly wanton behavior led her father to send her away to save the family's reputation. Now she resides at Spinster House in the village of Loves Bridge, where an unmarried lady can live—and in Belle's case, support herself as a librarian—in peace . . .
Beautiful, passionate Belle—sworn off marriage? William can't believe the woman he once knew could end up like this. But when the hands of fate bring him to Loves Bridge, his long-lost love might just end up back in his arms. Is their unwavering desire worth the sweeping scandal that is sure to follow them both? Absolutely.

A quick read. I enjoyed this reunion between Belle and William. With the difference in class and parental expectations, they parted with secrets left unspoken. After a very long time apart, they found themselves in the same little town. The attraction was strong between them, but propriety stopped any intimacy. With some unfortunate circumstances, a widowed William moved up in status. Belle finally told him her secrets. A happy ending. Would have loved a longer story, a bit rushed at the end.

A cute read about the power of love. In The Spinster's Bed by Sally Mackenzie is a beautiful story filled with forgiveness, second chances and a hint of divine intervention. Wrapped in the blush of young love neither Belle or William expected things to end the way they did. Twenty years later each is still haunted by memories and what ifs. Belle is a character that can break your heart. Through her strength and courage she was determined not be a victim but make the best of what life had given her. William never felt good enough and always felt like he had to prove his worth. Are Belle and William destined to reunite only to lose each other again? I did not want to end. A magical start to a majestic new series. Received this book from NetGalley for an honest review.
