Fiction
Four of the five daughters of England's Queen Victoria and
Prince Albert were regal, genteel, and everything a princess
should be. But one was rebellious, scandalous, and untamed. This is her story. . . . To the court and subjects of Queen Victoria, young Princess
Louise—later the Duchess of Argyll—was the "Wild One." Proud
and impetuous, she fought the constraints placed on her and
her brothers and sisters, dreamed of becoming an artist, and
broke with a three-hundred-year-old tradition by marrying
outside of the privileged circle of European royals. Some
said she wed for love. Others whispered of a scandal covered
up by the Crown. It will take a handsome American, recruited
by the queen's elite Secret Service, to discover the truth.
But even as Stephen Byrne—code name the Raven—vows to risk
his life to protect the royal family from violent Irish
radicals, he tempts Louise with a forbidden love that could
prove just as dangerous. In the vein of Philippa Gregory, Mary Hart Perry tells the
riveting story of an extraordinary woman—a princess who
refused to give up on her dreams, including her right to
true love.
