We soon learn that Nora's more formal name is Lady Towe, the name she took upon marriage to Lord Towe, her now-deceased husband. Leading the riders under the direct order of the King is Nora's former love, Adrian. Riders come with a writ of Parliament, put everyone at Hodderby under arrest, and take over the premise in order to wait for the return of Nora's brother, David Colville, a possible traitor to the Crown.
Nora is living alone at Hodderby, the home she grew up in. Without finding out what has happened, Duran transports us forward in time to 1715. Adrian is running through the countryside, hoping and praying that Nora, his beloved, has not married another. When they have good history in them, it's even better. She finds romance novels to be perfect antidotes to the heaviness of her research and her activism. In her remaining time, she devours romance novels, specifically those set in the English regency period, though not necessarily so. She also is a reproductive rights activist and blogger. Jessica is a trained historian of slavery and the early modern English empire and is currently working towards her PhD.
One of them is Jessica Luther, who is on Twitter as Jessica likes romance, particularly historicals, and she asked if she could review a Meredith Duran novel she loved for me. When not studying, doing fieldwork in India, or working on her next novel, Meredith can be found in the library, browsing through travelogues written by intrepid Englishwomen of the nineteenth century.Over the past few months, I've increased my Twitter following to include political commentators, feminist news sources, various Hulks, and people whom I've ended up chatting with about subjects only tangentially related to romance novels. Now a doctoral student in anthropology, she is happy to report that all three goals have become her favorite things to do. At thirteen years old, she made a list of life goals that included writing romance novels, trying sushi, and going to London to see Holbein’s portrait of Anne Boleyn. Meredith Duran grew up enamored of British history.
