The Earl of Salt Hendon and squire's daughter Jane Despard share a secret past of misunderstanding and heartache. When the Earl is forced to marry Jane, society is aghast. None more so than the conniving and delusional Diana St. John. Hopes dashed at marrying the Earl herself, she will go to extreme lengths, even murder, to destroy the newlyweds' second chance for a happily ever after.

Another delicious Georgian gem from Lucinda Brant: High drama, deep emotion, and witty prose, all deftly sprinkled with historical detail to keep you mesmerized from beginning to end. Immerse yourself in the romance and opulence of her eighteenth century aristocratic world.


Reviews

As the plot develops and darkens you realize the imagery is spectacular. If you've never met true evil just wait 'till you meet Diana St. John; definitely made me a fan. -- SWurman, Night Owl Reviews 5 STAR TOP PICK

A love story fans of historical romance will relish. The rakish and raucous character of the period is contrasted superbly with the sophistication of the age. -- Fiona Ingram, Readers' Favorite 5 STARS

Brant's talent is undeniable and dare I admit... I enjoyed SALT BRIDE more than many of Georgette Heyer's own beloved works and that is high praise indeed. -- Courtney Webb, Stiletto Storytime
