What you need to know before your trail
As one of the daughters of an English Earl and his Indian Mistress, Anya Marleigh has defied Regency society’s rules by playing her sitar and singing beautifully for Queen Charlotte at the court of George III.
When she comes into an unexpected inheritance, her change of fortune comes with a catch ― she must marry before her twenty-fifth birthday or the money will go to her trustee ― the infuriating but devilishly sexy Lord Damian Ashton, who also has the power to approve her choice of husband.
As Anya begins to attract the wrong sort of marriage suitor, Lord Ashton is the only thing standing between her and a fate worse than death. But does he have his own reasons for hindering her happy ever after …?
Travel Guide
London
In the second book of the series Anya is a sitar player in Queen Charlotte’s court, so we visit St James’s Palace for the Queen’s birthday drawing room (which did in fact take place in 1810!) Anya and Damian meet in Folkestone (where we meet Damian’s wonderful goats in their goat pen), but then most of the action takes place in London. Besides the palace, we venture near slums like the Devil’s Acre, not far off Westminster, where Anya tries to convince a man to help her and Damian out of a pickle. And we go to Hampstead to confront a highwayman! Not to mention that Damian was born in Jamaica before he moved to England at the age of thirteen to go to boarding school.
