    ANNOTATED EDITION — Contains a new editorial introduction covering the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715, historical context, and a biography of the author. 
    Set against the turbulent backdrop of early 18th-century England, The Yeoman Adventurer follows a bold young farmer thrust into a world of political intrigue, divided loyalties, and perilous adventure. When the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715 tears his quiet village apart, one man's courage and wit become his only weapons against treachery on every side. 
    A gripping tale of honor, romance, and survival, this forgotten gem of historical fiction crackles with authenticity — sword fights in fog-shrouded lanes, coded messages, narrow escapes, and a love story that defies political allegiance. Gough's vivid prose puts you squarely in the muddy boots of an ordinary man caught in extraordinary times. 
    Perfect for readers who love: Bernard Cornwell, Patrick O'Brian, and classic historical adventure. 
    This edition presents the complete, unabridged original text in a clean, professionally formatted layout — ideal for long reading sessions.

He is also instructed to marry the dead traitor’s rebellious daughter and ensure her loyalty to the king.

Although Alwyn, his unwilling bride, is barely able to remember the face of Fulk, she cannot forget her response to his touch. At every turn, she thwarts his efforts to take control of her father’s estate and finds herself enslaved by her passion for him. Will she be able to resist the sensual pleasure of his touch in order to save her rightful legacy and family honor?

    Rienzi the Last of the Roman...

    Rome, 1347: a notary's son raises the mob, drives out the barons, restores the Republic, is crowned tribune — and rules for seven months. Bulwer-Lytton gave English the pen mightier than the sword and the dark and stormy night; here he wrote the best of his historical novels, and Wagner made an opera of it. The tribune's fall is not the barons' doing; it is his own, and Bulwer sees it exactly. Fifty-six plates after Hubert Robert, Francesco Hayez and others turn the ruins and campagna of the Roman story into a painted world of classical landscape and peasant life.
