The King's Revenge
Author: Don Jordan
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1681772027
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
When Charles I was executed, his son made it his role to seek out retribution, producing the biggest manhunt Britain had ever seen, one that would span Europe and America and would last for thirty years. When he ascended to the throne in 1660 as Charles II, his search for revenge intensified, with show trials in London and assassination squads scouring foreign countries. Many of the most senior figures in England were hanged, drawn and quartered; imprisoned for life; or consigned to a self-imposed exile, in constant fear of the assassin's bullet.History has painted the regicides and their supporters as fanatics, but among them were exceptional men, including John Milton, poetic genius and political propagandist; Oliver Cromwell's steely son-in-law, Henry Ireton; and the errant son of an earl, Algernon Sidney, whose writings helped inspire the founders of the American Revolution. Cromwell himself was subjected to the most bizarre symbolic revenge when—though long-dead—his body was disinterred and beheaded.Set in an age of intrigue and betrayal, The King's Revenge brings these remarkable figures vividly to life in an engrossing tale of ambition, double agents, and espionage.

How to Train Your Viscount
Author: Courtney McCaskill
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781639150007
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The only one who can help her is the man who broke her heart. Four years ago, Lady Caroline Astley took one look at Henry Greville, Viscount Thetford, and fell horribly in love, in that particular way you can only fall in love at the age of fifteen. He didn't just reject her. He humiliated her. But now, in a stroke of rotten luck, he's the only one who can help her. It turns out that the "paste" pendant she borrowed from her sister, Anne, was no fake. It's actually an ancient Egyptian amulet, and now Anne wants to auction it off to save hundreds of widows and orphans. What Caro can't bear to tell her sister is that the necklace was stolen from right around her neck. Caro has a few clues, but she doesn't know an amulet from an obelisk, and the trail has gone cold. Guess who grew up in a house stuffed with Egyptian artifacts? Caro may despise Henry, but she needs him if she's going to track down the thieves. Which begs the question of which is worse: letting down the orphans or risking her heart all over again. If you like sizzling Regency romance that makes you laugh and makes you swoon, give How to Train Your Viscount a try! Note: How to Train Your Viscount falls on the comedic end of the Regency spectrum; you might call it a Regency rom-com. The love scenes are red hot. Our hero's mother wishes to regretfully forewarn the reader that her son utters several shocking obscenities during the course of the novel.
