A heart-stopping, explosive romp through what might so easily have been, delightfully packed with desperate deeds and derring-do. More, please

Badly behaved aristocrats, gloriously opinionated women and danger at every turn

Thrilling... Rugged scenery combined with even more rugged leading men and feisty leading ladies makes this a book that one can easily compare to <i>Poldark</i>... The intensity of the plot is only amplified by quite how much she makes you care about the characters it revolves around'

Witty, exciting and heartfelt, the book had me hooked

With a complex plot, high stakes and rip rolling adventure - as well as Hester, a fantastic main character - I actually couldn't put this down

Those who like their action on the swashbuckling side will enjoy this fabulous debut set in a world in which Napoleon won the Battle of Waterloo. A cross between Georgette Heyer, Dorothy Dunnett and Poldark
