Synopsis

Amazon reviiewers give this 5 stars. 'Such a good read! Loved the plot, writing style, depth of the story and characters. Good to also see some substance on the historical details. '

Winterbourne’s Folly is the story of a spirited and unconventional heroine who finds herself unwillingly engaged to a man whose every word brings her to the very pinnacle of incandescent rage.

“A gentleman’s spirits can be vastly improved by the acquisition of a wife with a fortune.”
Despite acknowledging herself to be decidedly plain, Violette deVere is mortified to overhear Lord Winterbourne – known to be in dibs to the bank - say that he would rather lose his fortune than have to see her face at the breakfast table. So why does she accept his most unwilling proposal of marriage, when she is not only secretly in love with someone else, but has so thoroughly compromised her reputation with him that she would be ruined if it were discovered? Moreover, the gentleman in question is hardly marriage material, being a notorious rogue and on the run from the Excise men.
When she meets a fortune-hunting villain with blackmail on his mind, Violette is faced with a desperate choice. What sacrifice will she make to protect the happiness of those around her? Marry a man she despises – or gamble fortune and reputation to save the life of the man she loves?

Winterbourne’s Folly is a joyful celebration of friendship, family loyalty, and a most unlikely love story.
