Determined to help her father with his political career, Jocelyn sets aside dreams of love. When she meets the handsome and mysterious Grant Amesbury, her dreams of true love reawaken. But his secrets put her family in peril.
Grant goes undercover to capture conspirators avowed to murder the prime minister, but his only suspect is the father of a courageous lady who is growing increasingly hard to ignore. He can’t allow Jocelyn to distract him from the case, nor will he taint her with his war-darkened soul. She seems to see past the barriers surrounding his heart, which makes her all the more dangerous to his vow of remaining forever alone.
Jocelyn will do anything to clear her father’s name, even if that means working with Grant. Time is running out. The future of England hangs in the balance...and so does their love.
These meticulously researched and beautifully written Regency romance novels take place in the glittering world of Regency England, a unique era of British history—the time of Jane Austen, Lord Byron, and the Napoleonic Wars. The Rogue Hearts Series centers around a noble family with the surname Amesbury, children of Lord Tarrington. Each book is a stand-alone story about each member of the family.
About the Characters:
Jocelyn is a lively, playful twenty one year-old lady with a vivid imagination and a ready smile. She has blond hair and blue eyes, and wishes she were thinner but doesn’t give her appearance a great deal of thought.
Thanks to his scarred cheek and almost perpetual scowl, Grant might not normally be considered classically handsome, but he is tall and gorgeous, with black hair and gray eyes, and gives off an aura of danger. He can blend in with nobility but prefers to dress as a commoner and stalk the alleys hunting criminals.
5 Fun Facts about the Book!
********************
1. The murder plot in The Suspect’s Daughter was based on true events known as The Cato
Street Conspiracy.
2. The Prince Regent was so busy planning the coronation party of the century that he put off getting crowned more than eight months after the death of his father, King George III.
3. The Regency Era officially ended in 1820 when Prince George IV was no longer Regent of
England, but was now King.
4. Bow Street Runners, featured heavily in The Suspect’s Daughter, were the elite police
force in England pre-dating Scotland Yard.
5. The only way to have a new Prime Minister of England during the Regency was either for the current prime minister to die, or for a majority of Parliament to cast a vote of “no confidence” and for the House of Commons to submit a new name to the King who, ultimately, made the decision.
