Against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars and the glitter
of the court of Naples, this captivating novel unfolds the
story of Helen Telfair, a young English woman in search of
herself.
Helen, intelligent, witty, rebellious, had sworn never to
marry. But when she found herself with child after a brutal
encounter with a stranger, she agreed to marry the wealthy
and dissolute Lord Henry Merritt.
Helen, neglected by her husband, felt very much alone-until
she met Emma, the celebrated Lady Hamilton.
No two women were less alike. Emma was uneducated, sensual,
and by sheer will and unsurpassed beauty had catapulted
herself into a brilliant marriage and into a scandalous
affair with the famous Lord Nelson.
But fate joined these two unforgettable women in a drama of
intrigue and war and Helen's destiny was newly shaped by a
great and exotic moment in history.
