Читать книгу A Daring Liaison - Gail Ranstrom - Страница 4

Writing about the Regency world of the Wednesday League has always been fascinating for me. The things I’ve learned through my research have both surprised and dismayed me. The juxtaposition of the glittering society of the ton with the ‘seedy underbelly’ of the rookeries and Whitechapel offer endless opportunities to my fertile imagination—which tends to run wild even in the best of circumstances. Adding to that mix, I’ve always been obsessed with the similarities between justice and revenge. When does one become the other? Or does it? I think I will always want to explore that question in my fiction.

Charles Hunter’s story gave me ample opportunity to do this. Readers who have met Charles in earlier books may not recognise him in the single-minded, determined man in this book. As he searches for revenge he is faced with a different but equally important lesson—sometimes the heart sees more clearly than the eyes, and forgiveness can be more healing than revenge. But Charles must learn that lesson quickly if he is to save the woman he loves.
