Secrets In Satin
After seeing Elizabeth, Countess of Ravenwold, dance on the grave of her abusive husband, ladies' man Edward Garrett, Viscount Creighton, is stunned when Charles I forces him into a loveless marriage with her. The Catholic widow has to overcome her physical and emotional scars while her Protestant husband fights a war of religious intolerance both on the battlefield and within himself. Filled with conflict and adventure and a cleverly woven historical background, this is a tale of intrigue full of sympathetic characters and ending satisfactorily. Smith is a winner of the prestigious Maggie Award, and her Shadows on Velvet (St. Martin's, 1996) is a 1997 Rita finalist for best first book. She lives in Buford, Georgia.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
