Читать книгу The Rake of Glendir - Michelle Kelly - Страница 5

Author Note

Jasper Glendir isn’t quite your usual Regency gentleman. He’s a Scotsman, with a wild side and more than a few dark secrets. The perfect rogue, in fact, to give the gently bred Amelia Hedburn a taste of the freedom and passion she desires. Amelia turns up in Glendir with a few secrets of her own, which Jasper quickly sets about trying to uncover….

I had great fun creating these characters and getting under their skin, and have to say that Jasper is my favorite hero so far. I hope you enjoy their story as much as I did.

Glendir itself is a fictional coastal town on the Scots border, inspired by a recent visit to Eyemouth, with its beautiful coastal scenery, and Amelia’s beloved Trevan is inspired by Gunsgreen House, which is currently being restored as a tourist attraction. In the eighteenth century this area was rife with unrest and rebellion, and a notorious center for black market trade and smuggling. The perfect setting for my red-haired rake and a young lady making a bid for freedom.
