An Interrupted Tapestry

Madeline Hunter has swept readers away with her well-researched and romantic historical novels, most recently the Rarest Blooms quartet that began with Ravishing in Red. Readers have been captivated not only by the rich world Hunter created, but also by two specific characters: the mysterious widow Daphne Noyes and the insouciant Duke of Castleford, Tristan St. Ives. In the spectacular conclusion to the series, DANGEROUS IN DIAMONDS (Jove Mass Market Paperback Original; April 26, 2011 $7.99), Daphne and Castleford meet for the first time and sparks fly. Readers who can't wait until late April for their trip back in time to Regency England are in luck!
