We are thrilled to announce that we have signed two new Regency novels by Graham Ley: A Gentleman’s Daughter and The Gentleman’s Banker.
Book 1 in the Wentworth Family Regency Saga
Graham is the author of the Wentworth Family Regency Saga series: absorbing historical novels set between England and France during the French Revolution.
In Graham’s words:
“I am absolutely delighted to have my two new books, A Gentleman’s Daughter and The Gentlemen’s Banker, under contract. I chose Bath in 1793 for A Gentleman’s Daughter because the city is already poised for Regency splendour but finds itself rocked by the revolutionary turmoil in France, with confidence shaken and corruption in the air. How surprising is it, then, that the city is full of people from different classes of society who are not who they claim to be, acting out a masquerade with lives and reputations at stake? And when the city becomes too hot for one young woman escaping from her oppressive brother, the attractions of a different life on the Devon coast bring her into contact with the romance and the harsh realities of smuggling in The Gentlemen’s Banker.
“I have always been attracted to the Napoleonic era and in particular to the 1790s, with Britain caught up in the waves of disturbance flowing from Paris, and people wrestling with the new world of unaccustomed freedoms. I have been determined in all my novels to convey an intimate picture of this time, relaxed and almost familiar, so readers will sense the feelings and the difficulties of my characters — as if they were standing in the same room, or the same street, or smelling the same wax candles.”
