'Lush, dark, utterly real and above all achingly romantic' RUTH WARE
Thrilling Regency romance, set against an
Outlander-like background of passion and war, this will delight lovers of
Poldark and
Bridgerton.
1819: Cornwall and St Petersburg High society England is awash with gossip and scandal. For Lady Hester, it's just typical that the wickedest gossip focuses on her beautiful, impossible husband Crow. Hester loves him fiercely, but the Earl of Lamorna has a wild past. Rumours of a child with his black hair and grey eyes wound Hester more than she'll admit.
Crow's enemies also want him tried for treason, and soon Hester and their own daughter are in danger. There's nothing Hester won't do to protect their child. So when Countess Lieven drops her guard and says, 'Take your baby, Hester, and run,' Hester does exactly that.
Meanwhile, Crow will do anything to save his family, even accepting a final mission that might end in losing them both for good.
