"action packed Regency romance"
By 1822, Circe Hill feels her unrequited love for David
Lydford will remain one-sided though she has wished,
seemingly forever, otherwise. However, David needs to
court
someone as a disguise to hide a dangerous diplomatic
mission he performs so he rationalizes that Circe, because
of her perfect lineage and unquestionable respectability,
is
the one. However, he really selects Circe because to him
she will always be the kid sister of the wife of his best
friend and so passion and love will never enter the
equation. However six years have passed since David has last seen
Circe
who has just returned from studying art with the
continent's masters. The Circe of his memory is not the
beautiful woman enticing his heart and soul. This makes
his mission even more dangerous as he struggles to
concentrate on anything but the woman he now loves. Readers who desire an action packed Regency romance
starring two delightful protagonists need not wait any
longer as Nicole Byrd delivers the goods with her latest
tale, LADY IN WAITING. The story line would be typical of
the sub-genre except for the strong cast that includes the
return of the stars of the delightful DEAR IMPOSTOR and
intriguing, refreshing subplots that cleverly tie back to
the prime courting theme. The lead couple charms the
audience as Circe tries to seduce her initially unwilling
but soon convert David into a lifetime together, which
leaves the audience psyched for Ms. Byrd's next triumph. Harriet Klausner
