Product Description:
Helena Woulfe has put the horrors of the Monmouth Rebellion behind her and looks to her future life as the wife of Guy Palmer. Helena has what she always wanted, respectability and security, although her brothers remain a constant worry - Aaron is in Holland with the Prince of Orange, and surely what he plans is treason? While Henry carries his own sorrow, pining for another man's wife. Prince William arrives in England to re-establish the Anglican Church, and when riots break out in London, Helena is forced to flee from her home - again. Guy Palmer grows more prosperous and their marriage is happy, until Helena's discovery of her husband's weakness drives her into an unwise liaison and she learns there is a price to pay for recklessness and keeping secrets. While Helena strives to keep what she holds dear, Henry seeks his own happiness and Aaron's ambition is to retain the family estate. Can they attain what they desire and above all, will the Woulfe siblings ever learn the fate of their missing Father?

The rich tapestry Anita weaves, of life in the 17th C, is captivating, the action is intense, while the characters ... Read More

After reading Anita Davison's first offering about 17th century England, I have no hesitation in the least to purchase her second book. Until I experienced her descriptive style and realized her ability to meld reader with the characters and time period, I had no idea how much I would enjoy my trip through England's history. This author brings such reality to the story, I felt as though I sat beside Helena in the family carriage as it rolled over the cobblestone streets. I felt her fears, shared her joys, ... Read More
