A historical romance by Karin Welss, who makes up half of the Michaela August writing team. "His design was strictly honorable: to rob a lady of her fortune by way of marriage." (Henry Fielding, Tom Jones) It's the spring of 1666, and Kit Fitzgeorge, a disabled mercenary soldier, finds himself in desperate straits, unable to earn an honorable living but unwilling to beg charity. To provide for his young daughter, he agrees to kidnap the young, wealthy, and widowed Countess of Cranbourne and deliver her into a forced marriage with an impoverished nobleman. While waiting for the perfect opportunity to abduct the Countess, he becomes dangerously attracted to her, and finds himself forced to choose between his daughter's welfare and an impossible love. "Karin Welss gives her story freshness by placing it in a new setting, and by giving to her hero and heroine a humanity which we feel instantly." --Joy Calderwood, Reviewers Choice "...enthralled and floored this reader...a new author who really wows me..It’s a story that will stay in my heart for a long time. Brava!" -- Amy Cunningham, Romance Reviews Today Read the first three chapters--free! |
