For years, Lady Katherne Linsay has been in her uncle's
care. And he's taken every advantage, treating her like the
help and trying to force himself on her, until Martha, a
servant, comes to her aid. Running to London is the only
chance the two have, for they're sure to hang. With a price
on their heads, they travel only at night. However, when
Jeremy Hughes, a strolling player, encounters them, he
turns them in for the reward. Determined not to like
Jeremy, Kit nonetheless is intrigued by him. When Jeremy
rescues Kit and Martha from the constable, Kit agrees to
work her way to London.
When London catches fire and Jeremy comes after her, Kit
realizes her feelings are more than just intrigue. However,
she won't let any man be her master and agrees that they
continue as lovers. While acting on stage, Kit is sure she
sees her uncle. Jeremy instructs her not to go about town
without an escort, but Kit is determined to do as she
pleases and is kidnapped.
Finding herself in the dungeon of her former home, Kit soon
learns that her uncle plans to marry her for her dowry.
When she refuses, she's taken to room and discovers that
her father is still alive. Jeremy seeks out the people who
once worked for Kit's father in devising a rescue plan.
Instinct pays off and Kit and her father are reunited after
many years. Jeremy declares his love for Kit, but it will
be difficult to figure out a way to convince her to become
his wife.
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 Lindsay’s 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 king’s 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
Katherne blooms into an accomplished actress and a
confident woman, she can’t help giving her whole heart to
Jeremy and longing to win him for a lifetime of daring
love and passionate adventure.
