Against the turbulent backdrop of the English Civil War, where political treachery and religious persecution are commonplace, an unlikely romance springs up between Catherine Trefelner, a beautiful villager, and Robert Bradshaw, co-heir to one of Cornwall's richest estates. Staunch Royalists, Robert and his twin brother, Julian, are loyal to the clever, but misguided King Charles, while Catherine's father is a fanatical Puritan, living for the day the Parliamentarian Army unseats the king and makes Royalists conform or seek refuge in France. As Catherine navigates the challenges of her new life as Lady of the Manor, her father constantly threatens vengeance over her marriage to a Royalist. Ever cynical, Julian continues to question Catherine's motive for marrying his brother, and what follows is a spine-tingling tale of love, hate, revenge, envy, mercy and redemption during one of the most chaotic and unstable times in England's history.
Autorenporträt
Jessica Russell is the pen name of Jesse Broadt, a professional web content writer who specializes in travel. Passionate about history, the author is an avid reader of both historical fiction and non-fiction history books. Throughout her life, she was inspired by authors such as Victoria Holt, Phyllis A. Whitney and Belva Plain, and strives to create the same type of multi- dimensional, entertaining characters that readers can relate to, understand and ultimately enjoy. Broadt created her first novel-length work of fiction with Hot Winter Sun, and laughingly calls it the kind of book you think no one writes anymore. A professional singer at one time, the author often refers to words as music of another kind and hopes they are felt that way by her readers. Broadt lives in the Southeastern United States with her husband Dan, who is her biggest champion, as well as Frosty and Snoodle, her faithful, purring companions. She loves music, reading, traveling and simply enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. The author also has a blog for travel enthusiasts, called Your Endless Holiday.
