Oaths of Affection (Regency Tales Book 1)

Synopsis

“Your mother was a whore!”

After her parents’ fatal accident, spirited and principled Lady Marigold must live with vindictive relatives. Her father’s fortune gone, marriage is the only way to escape a fate as her cousin’s companion. But her aunt and uncle oppose any suitable match in favour of an oily shyster.

Major Arthur Hastings is everything she’s ever dreamt of but, as he is due to leave for India, dare she hope? Even with the assistance of loyal friends, Lady Marigold’s courage and wit are tested for the right to choose her own future.

Set in the gloomy year of 1816, this sultry drama of challenge and change, is a Cinderella-story that blends factual history and philosophy with humour and romance.

The Regency Tales span the years following the Napoleonic Wars, against a backdrop of political tensions, societal pressure, and the opulence of the British aristocracy. Oaths of Affection is the first stand-alone in the immersive series by Maria Yrsa Rönneus.
