This lovely image might well be a scene from my new Regency romance A Shameful Alliance. Miss Clarissa is on her way to Wales in worsening autumn weather to meet her betrothed, a complete stranger. Fate took a truly malevolent turn for Clarissa when her father gave her to a lord in exchange for his gambling debts.
Clarissa has to choose between going to London to seek a position as a governess, or travelling to the Welsh border lands to meet her mysterious husband-to-be. Her passion for gothic literature convinces her to take a chance on the lord. Nothing could be worse than working in London as a sad drab of a governess or ladies maid – or could it?
A Shameful Alliance is now published on Amazon.
