Forced
from France by her devious guardian on the eve of the French
Revolution, Countess Bettina Jonquiere must deliver an important package
to further the royalist cause. In England, she discovers the package is
full of blank papers, the address false and she’s penniless. Stranded
in a Cornish village, Bettina toils in a bawdy tavern and falls in love
with a man who may have murdered his unfaithful wife. Tracked by
ruthless revolutionaries, she must uncover the truth about her father’s
murder—and her lover’s guilt—while her life is threatened.
"Diane
Scott Lewis’s debut novel is wonderfully researched and the reader is
taken right into the drawing rooms, kitchens and taverns of the dark
days of late eighteenth century England." ~ Historical Novels Reviews
“Diane
Scott Lewis writes with a fresh, clear voice, keeping all the threads
of betrayal, intrigue and lies from becoming tangled as she weaves them
into her story.” ~ The Muse
"A
love story steeped in secrets and set against the backdrop of the
French Revolution, woven with the right amount of fact as well as
fiction, each balancing the other in a perfect harmony. Diane Scott
Lewis has the power of descriptive writing that makes readers feel as
though they are traveling alongside Bettina as she faces the unknown.
Simply brilliant." ~ Historical Novel Society
