Beschreibung

“[Carlyle’s] final Fraternitas romance paints Victorian society with sensual undertones . . .  suspense and romance entwine to create an engaging read.” —Publishers Weekly 
 
Beneath the elegant façade of Victorian high society, the rules of danger and desire are the only rules that apply for the mysterious men of the St. James Society. New York Times–bestseller Liz Carlyle carries readers deep into this realm of intrigue and passion once more in her breathtaking historical romance sizzler, The Bride Wore Pearls. The third book in her sexy, compelling, action-packed series, The Bride Wore Pearls is a scorching story of a very proper lady who flees her home in a far corner of the British Empire, entrusting her safety and her heart to a dangerous outlaw in Victorian London. Amanda Quick and Gaelen Foley fans will most certainly be enthralled. 
 
Praise for the Fraternitas Aureae Crucis series

Set between 1925 and the end of World War II, The Sleeping Dictionary is the story of Kamala, born to a peasant family in West Bengal, who makes her way to Calcutta of the 1930s. Haunted by a forbidden love, she is caught between the raging independence movement and the British colonial society she finds herself inhabiting.

    Being acknowledged for what you do is always very welcome.   When it comes to Oscar’s, Emmy’s, Pulitzer’s and Nobel’s it’s also international news and for many, the pinnacle of their career. 
     
    The Nobel Prize is much lauded and very difficult to secure.  In this volume we list ten of its winners over the decades who were famed for their literature.  The prize is given with an emphasis on its contribution to literature and its influence in the world and for the individual, more usually, for the body of work created. 
     
    So, whilst none of the stories in this volume were winners in their own right, their authors most certainly were.  They perfectly illustrate both the nature and mastery of the writing and the power and the purpose set within its storied prose.

    A tragic past taints one woman’s future in this intriguing Regency romance from the New York Times–bestselling author of the Agatha Raisin mysteries. 
     
    Maggie Macleod was weary of life with a soul sickness that ate into every fiber of her being. In a mad way, it did not seem strange to her that she should be on her way to the high court to stand trial for the murder of her husband. Her marriage seemed to have been one long, dreary desert lit by flares of cruelty. But Maggie is innocent in the matter of her beastly husband’s death, and she resolves to answer the question that plagues her: Who did murder the man?
