Casebound Library Edition. This second volume of previously unpublished letters from the private correspondence of the Roxton family spans a twenty-year period, from the 1760s to the late 1780s, and includes extracts from the diaries of Antonia, Duchess of Kinross, and her younger son Lord Henri-Antoine Hesham. Also included are letters by the 5th Duke of Roxton, written in the final stages of his illness, and addressed to his youngest son Lord Henri-Antoine. The volume concludes with a letter by the latter’s wife, Lady Henri-Antoine Hesham, to her mother-in-law, the Duchess of Kinross, while abroad on her bridal trip. These letters complement the later chronology of the award-winning Roxton Family Saga: Dair Devil, Proud Mary, and Satyr’s Son. With a foreword by a late-Victorian descendant, Alice-Victoria, 10th Duchess of Roxton.I get Lucinda Brant. We are both diehard romantics at heart. When I first started reading Eternally Yours, the first volume of Roxton letters, I was unsure how a bunch of letters would hold my interest. I should never have doubted Lucinda Brant. Eternally Yours was magical. Forever Remain brings us into the world of the sixth duke, his duchess and their dynasty. A bold exciting look into the lives of the Roxton family told through a litany of personal letters which is like listening into their conversations. Each letter which truly feels like a personal chat, uncovers information that was not included in the previous books about this family or answers questions about people or circumstances mentioned in the saga. Lord Henri-Antoine quickly became one of my favorite Roxton characters in Satyr’s Son. I truly loved this story about misguided fraternity brothers and the realization of caring and friendship that prevailed. And of course when love came into the picture life was never going to be the same. So when I realized that so many letters of Forever Remain referred to Henri-Antoine as a young boy and then onto adulthood and ultimate marriage, well, I was of course hooked. Once again, Lucinda Brant has shown us why she is an undisputed master of this genre.—SWurman, Night Owl Reviews 5 STARS—TOP PICK Connecting BooksEnjoy Lucinda’s meticulously researched 18th century world, where characters, places, and events all intertwine.Roxton Family Saga1740s NOBLE SATYR (Renard and Antonia)1760s MIDNIGHT MARRIAGE (Julian and Deb)1770s AUTUMN DUCHESS (Antonia and Jonathon)1770s DAIR DEVIL (Dair and Rory)1770s PROUD MARY (Mary and Christopher)1780s SATYR’S SON (Henri-Antoine and Lisa)Salt Hendon Series1763 SALT BRIDE (Magnus and Jane)1767 SALT REDUX (Antony and Caroline)SALT HENDON COLLECTION — boxed set with bonus novella SALT ANGELAlec Halsey MysteriesSpring 1763 DEADLY ENGAGEMENT (Country house murder and mayhem)Autumn 1763 DEADLY AFFAIR (A poisoned vicar and the mysterious Miranda)Winter 1763 DEADLY PERIL (Bloody intrigue abroad)Summer 1764 DEADLY KIN (Murderous family secrets)Winter 1764 DEADLY DIPLOMACY (Lies, levées, and lovers)

Jane e Salt-quattro anni di 'e vissero felici e contenti' Sir Antony Templestowe-quattro anni di esilio Lady Caroline-quattro anni di struggimento Diana St. John-quattro anni per tramare la sua vendetta Il momento è arrivato... Può un fratello continuare con la sua vita di sempre sapendo che sua sorella è un'assassina? Può un nobiluomo riuscire a ottenere la vita che ha sempre desiderato quando il male è in agguato, invade tutti i suoi pensieri e infesta i suoi sogni? Che cosa servirà perché il bene trionfi sul male? La storia continua per i lettori che hanno apprezzato La sposa di Salt Hendon.

Quando il conte di Salt Hendon sposa Jane Despard, figlia di un signorotto di campagna, l'alta società inorridisce. Ma Jane e Lord Salt hanno in comune un passato di sfiducia, angoscia e tristezza. Sono costretti a un matrimonio che nessuno dei due desidera: il conte per onorare il desiderio di un uomo morente, Jane per salvare il fratellastro dalla rovina finanziaria. Bella dentro e fuori, la paziente e sempre ottimista Jane crede che l'amore possa vincere su tutto; ci vorrà un po' di più per convincere il conte. Entra in scena anche Diana St. John, vissuta finora nell'illusione di poter diventare un giorno la nuova contessa di Salt Hendon, che si spingerà oltre i limiti, fino all'omicidio, per ottenere l'attenzione del conte. I novelli sposi dovranno superare i pregiudizi del passato e una sinistra opposizione per innamorarsi di nuovo. Suspense romantica con personaggi indimenticabili.
