This Regency romance starts like
none other I’ve ever read. The heroine,
Lady Katherine, is imprisoned in the Tower of London standing accused of
brutally murdering her husband the Duke.
She swears she is innocent, yet is willing to go to her fate
quietly. She had a miserable marriage
and didn’t like being a Duchess at all.
She misses life growing up on a nice farm in the countryside. James Bancroft, Viscount Medford, visits Kate
and makes a deal with her. He will get
her out of the Tower (because she can be released into the supervision of a
nobleman) if she promises to write the story of her marriage, and her side of
the crime story, for a pamphlet he can print on his secret printing press.
I absolutely loved the premise, and
the first half of the book really broke the mold of historical romances, then
it went right back on track. There were
misunderstandings, lack of communication, and, of course, a happily ever after. Sort of steamy, and quite enjoyable, for
romance fans!
