A Lady’s Secret
by Jo Beverley

Seated by an open window overlooking the coachyard of a rustic French inn, Robin Fitzvitry, English aristocrat, suddenly overhears a grey nun swearing furiously in Italian. What is upsetting the woman so? Is she really who she seems to be? As with all the best historical romances, author Jo Beverley stretches her plot deliciously close to the point of utter collapse. With tumultuous passions, vengeful assassins, and secret lineages, Beverley provides all the fun you would expect from an action-filled eighteenth-century romp.
