Lacey Chronicles series.
James Lacey, the second-oldest Lacey son, is the object of the widowed Lady Jane Rievaulx's affections in this diverting second series entry. Misunderstandings, Jane's vengeful and conniving relatives, and James's own internal struggles and voyage to America threaten their happiness. But all ends well in this carefully researched, vividly rendered period romance set in Queen Elizabeth I's court.
