Part
Romani, part English noblewoman, Evangeline Caruthers is the last woman in
England Ian Hamilton, the Viscount Warrick, could ever love—an immoral wanton
responsible for his brother’s and father’s deaths. She thinks he’s a
foul-tempered blackguard, who after setting out to cause her downfall, finds
himself forced to marry her—snared in the trap of his own making.
When Vangie learns the marriage ceremony
itself may have been a ruse, she flees to her gypsy relatives, declaring
herself divorced from Ian under Romani law. He pursues her to the gypsy
encampment, and when the handsome gypsy king offers to take Ian’s place in
Vangie’s bed, jealousy stirs hot and dangerous.
At
last, under a balmy starlit sky, Ian and Vangie breech the chasm separating
them. Peril
lurks though. Ian’s the last in his line, and his stepmother intends to dispose
of the newlyweds so her daughter can inherit his estate. Only by trusting each
other can they overcome scandal and murderous betrayal.
“A brilliant tale combining
Regency romance with exotic Romani culture.”
It is easier to milk a cow that stands still-something is hard or impossibleBeauty cannot be eaten with a spoon- On the order of our idiom, beauty is only skin deep.
Without wood the fire would die-A body needs food
The droppings of the flying bird never fall twice on the same spot-good luck
And then there are these Regency expressions:
Make a cake of oneself-make a fool of yourself
The parsons mousetrap-married
Draw someone’s cork- Punch in the nose and make bleed
Fly high into the boughs-get upset/angry
