Unlocked by Courtney Milan

Gracious! Do boys ever stop pinching girls to get their attention? Apparently not and all the abuse is finally too much for Elaine, Lady Stockhurst to take. For ten years she has been the butt of society's jokes and all because she garnered the attention of Evan, Lord Westfield.
This is the first historical book (novella) that puts the effects of bullying in the face on the reader (beautifully done, by the way).
The heroine is tormented for ten years because she spurned the advances of Evan and when things got too hot, Evan left for parts unknown. And now he's back to make amends and hoping that Elaine will forgive him. But, there is still another enemy to consider and she isn't so keen on redemption.
I liked this story and found that the length was appropriate; not too many have mastered the art of presenting and resolving an issue in a smaller package. I'll definitely be looking for more from Courtney Milan.
