LADY KATHERNE'S WILD RIDE is a big wow of a book! A lot of things are going on making it very exciting to read. The characters are fabulous and I truly adored them all. Kit is determined and hard-headed, but all woman. Jeremy is arrogant, hard-headed, all man and his love is potent. I recommend this story highly.
In Restoration England, where a lady's luck depends on the
chivalry of her master, a ravishing young noblewoman
escapes to the stage and embraces a life of danger and
desire alongside the most charismatic of players...
For years, Lady Katherne Lindsayβs uncle has denied her
noble heritage and treated her like a servant. But the
night she foils his lecherous plan to steal her virtue,
she becomes a suspected murderess with a bounty on her
head. To avoid hanging from the kingβs gallows, she is
forced to take shelter with a dashing actor and play along
as his leading lady, despite the constant threat of
capture....
Jeremy Hughes is notorious both for his performances upon
the stage and in the bedchamber. Any wise woman would keep
her distance from such an irresistible rogue. But as Lady

confident woman, she canβt help giving her whole heart to
Jeremy and longing to win him for a lifetime of daring
love and passionate adventure.
