Silken Bonds

Modern notions were all well and good but where did one find a man to share them?

Though Frederica chafes at the restricted life she lives as the adopted daughter of an infamous bluestocking, she does agree with the philosophy: until men learn to appreciate women as intellectual equals, Frederica is better off without them!

But her sister s recent elopement sparks fires of romance in Frederica s well-educated head. She is ripe to accept the considerable charms of Lord Harry Danger who saves her from a pack of drunken thugs - but if only he would treat her as an equal and stop all that silly flirting!

“Nicely atmospheric, most notable for its gentle humour and adventurous spirit”

- Publishers Weekly

A delightful tale romance fans are in for a treat - Booklist (starred review)

M. C. Beaton worked as a Fleet Street journalist. She is the author of the Agatha Raisin novels, the Hamish Macbeth series and an Edwardian murder-mystery series. She divides her time between Paris and the Cotswolds, where she lives in a village very much like Agatha Raisin's beloved Carsely.
