THE UTTERLY ABSORBING TALE OF ONE YOUNG WOMAN’S FIGHT TO TAKE CONTROL OF HER OWN DESTINY

Regency Era London. Dazzling Sarah Davenport is admired wherever she goes. Her dreams are simple: a loving husband, a happy home. But she can already feel her future slipping away. Her brother James is hellbent on gambling away the family fortune. He’s on the road to ruin. And he’s taking Sarah with him. When James loses everything to Lord Percival, the most ruthless rake in town, there’s only one way out.

BUT WILL SARAH BE THE ONE TO PAY?

Percival will waive the debt if James hands over Sarah instead. If that’s not enough, Percival is also demanding a small fortune from the dashing Major Greg Thatcham. Thatcham is not only the man of Sarah’s dreams. He’s her best friend’s fiancé. Sarah longs to call on him for help, but not if it means sacrificing her friend to save herself. Must Sarah resign herself to becoming Lord Percival’s plaything? Or will she find another way?

Shortlisted for Red Roses for Authors Christmas Award 2009, this beautifully written Regency romance is perfect for fans of Jane Austen, Jenny Hambly, Mary Balogh and Lisa Kleypas.
