The Peverills: A romantic adventure set during the French Revolution (The Peverill Family Saga Book 2)
A headstrong young woman defies the conventions of her age…
England, 1780
Poised on the cusp of womanhood, rebellious Christina Peverill dreams of a life of freedom and intellectual pursuits – and a mother who loves her.
Though her first London ‘season’ propels her into an exciting new world, she’s aghast when her mother – the self-absorbed Kitty Peverill – embarks on a campaign to marry her off. Christina has no interest in marriage, and is repelled by the prospective suitors her mother produces.
Frustrated by the constraints of being female, she cares little for society’s conventions, and is drawn to the burgeoning women’s rights movement. But when she runs into a childhood acquaintance – the enigmatic Paul Tyson – Christina can’t ignore what her heart is telling her.
Frustrated in love, Christina throws herself instead into the pursuit of new experiences. When a long-held dream of travelling to France becomes a reality, she’s beguiled by the romance of Paris.
But as the French Revolution gains momentum, and Paris becomes a bloodstained battleground, Christina finds herself in mortal danger…
Can a lone woman survive the terror raging outside her door? Will Christina and Paul ever find their way back to each other?
Or will Christina’s passion for adventure finally prove to be her downfall?
