Trapped by Scandal

June 1, 2015
In Feather's (Trapped at the Altar, 2014) new Trapped historical romance, Hermoine Hero meets William in a French prison at the height of the Revolution. She is searching for her missing twin, Alec, and William has been working with Alec and others to save some of the people scheduled for the guillotine, including Alec's fiancee, Marie Claire. William is impressed with smart and strong-willed Hero and enlists her help. Hero's attraction to William is the first she has felt since her fiance Tom's death, and the two enjoy a tempestuous physical relationship. Still, William wants to break up, until he sees her again in London and can't resist her. Hero eventually discovers that William has been hiding important things from her. When an enemy goes after William and everything important to him, Feather brings the suspense and romantic conflict to an exciting resolution. Feather's characters are survivors, and their appeal is enhanced by their scars. Details of life during the Revolution provide evocative reading, and historical romance fans will find Hero and William's story engrossing.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
