Romance Historical
Strong-willed Annabelle Stirling is more than capable of
running the family draper shop after the untimely death of
her parents. Under her father’s tutelage, she became a
talented cloth merchant, while her brother Wesley, the
true heir, was busy philandering about Yorkshire. Knowing
she must change with the times to survive, Belle installs
new machinery that finishes twice the fabric in half the
time it takes by hand. But not everyone is so enthusiastic. Soon, riled up by Belle’s competitors, the outmoded
workers seek violent revenge. Her shop destroyed, Belle
travels to London to seek redress from Parliament. While
there, the Prince Regent, future King George IV,
commissions her to provide fabrics for his Royal Pavilion.
As Belle’s renown spreads, she meets handsome cabinetmaker
Putnam Boyce, but worries that marriage will mean
sacrificing her now flourishing shop. And after Wesley
plots to kidnap the newly-crowned King—whose indiscretions
are surfacing—she finds herself entangled in a duplicitous
world of shifting allegiances. Painting a vivid portrait of life in the British Regency,
Christine Trent spins a harrowing tale of ambition,
vengeance, love, and complex loyalties against the dynamic
backdrop of the early Industrial Revolution.
