Lady Isabella Winton waits years to marry her fiancé, but Lord Alexander Fitzroy, a reformed rake, always finds an excuse to delay the nuptials.
With the marriage set for the next month, Fitzroy tells her he is needed in Belgium almost immediately. He warns her it may be dangerous for her to accompany him.
Isabella suspects he is bluffing. Brussels is the centre of a social whirl. She looked forward elaborate dinners and extravagant balls. Fearing Fitzroy may have returned to his rakish ways, she insists on travelling with him.
Isabella is unaware that Lord Everard Ladness, heir to a dukedom, is obsessed with her and will go to any lengths to possess her.

I live in a Sussex village near to the Regency towns. Before writing a novel, I visit one of them to soak up the elegance of the architecture, trying to enter the atmosphere of those far-gone times. Whilst walking through narrow cobbled streets, I imagine horse drawn carriages rollicking past, of ladies in Empire fashion, of feathered bonnets and velvet pelisses, of nankeen breeches and starched cravats. Even today, the same bay fronted shop windows replete with mullioned windows yawn over narrow pavements. The only changes being the wares; an empire dress swapped for a top and miniskirt. Best of all, is stepping down rickety steps into an oak beamed tearoom, with a leaning floor, where log fires crackle in open grates, the air filled with the rich aroma of tansy and cinnamon cakes.

ReplyDeleteLove the Victorian era, much simpler time. I was born way too late :)
ReplyDeletecvil war era!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I don't know that I have one. Okay, after more thought, I know that I don't have one. I think I'll go with whenever the period is that the Woody Allen Paris movie is set. That seemed like fun!
ReplyDeleteNot sure which Era it is, but when the Geisha was as their peak of popularity.
ReplyDeleteWow, I don't know that I have just one. I used to attend a number of reenactments with Markland and SCA and I still attend a number of Faires, so that puts me in Elizabethan or Renaissance (depending on the group). I also enjoy the Roaring 20s, Wild West and Ancient Greek. Warning: Inappropriate Joke Alert: No, I do not suffer from MPD - I enjoy them all. Have you *seen* my Pinterest account? 300+ boards with 45k+ pins? LOL
