I am reviewing a copy of Ladies of Intrigue through Barbour Publishing and Netgalley:
In the first story The Gentleman‘s Smmuggler’s Lady we are taking to 1815 Cornwall England we meet the prim and proper governess Helen Fletcher who has returned to England to be with her dying father in order to comfort him. She does not expect to fall in love with a smuggler while she’s there but she falls in love with Issac Seaton. Will she be able keep his unusual secret?
The second story in Ladies of Intrigue is The Doctor’s Woman that takes us to the Dakota Territory where we meet Emmy Nelson, the daughter of a Missionary Doctor, and Dr James Clark a city doctor who find themselves working together at Fort Snelling during the Dakota uprising, which is where there real clash of ideals begin.
In the final story A House of Secrets we are transported back to St Paul Minnesota in 1890 where we meet Amanda Carston a ladies aide chairman whose determined to clean up St Paul’s Ramshackle housing she starts with the absolutely worst one a haunted house that is secretly owned by her beau. A home that he uses to help brothel girls escape from the hands of the most infamous madam.
