Gratifying but frustrating. Well, it wasn’t that I didn’t want to! Karin isn’t the only one. I’m particularly glad to have Jade republished!

Her challenge: not to give in to the powerful attraction she can't deny for the man who opposes everything she stands for. Her target: Sebastian Devereux, the cold and calculating Duke of Montgomery who steers Britain's politics at the Queen's command. Her charge: recruit men of influence to champion their cause. In return for her scholarship, she must support the rising women's suffrage movement. Annabelle Archer, the brilliant but destitute daughter of a country vicar, has earned herself a place among the first cohort of female students at the renowned University of Oxford.
