Dear Reader,

 

Next month is the release of the next story in the “Renaissance Trilogy.” The Romantic Times reviewer said:

 

"Richly detailed and brimming with historical events and personages, McCabe's tale weaves together history and passion perfectly."

From the Prologue: Marguerite Dumas, the legendary French spy known as the Emerald Lily, encounters her latest foe, Nicolai Ostrovsky, in the midst of a Venetian brothel...

From the back cover: She was exceptionally beautiful, and entirely deadly! The baseborn daughter of a courtesan and a lord, Marguerite was forced to fend for herself in the dangerous world of the French nobility--as the king's most feared spy.

 

Sent to the court of King Henry VIII in England, Marguerite found polite words and flattery concealed dark passions. Her only friend was her old enemy, the sensually tempting Nicolai Ostrovsky. And their sinful alliance seemed set to turn her from old loyalties to new desires!

 

Stay tuned!

To Catch A Rogue

I live in a remote castle in Cornwall, how can I attract a lovely young wife?

-From a Lonely Bachelor

Ah, yes, the age-old dilemma—how does one meet a nice, suitable mate?  It’s especially difficult if one lives in a remote location where eligible partis are thin on the ground.  You may need to visit London during the Season, or at least turn to relatives who may know of single young ladies who would suit.  In one respect, you are in luck—you possess a castle in Cornwall.  Haunted, no doubt, with a dramatic vista down to the crashing sea.  Well, horrid novels are all the rage this Season (as they were last Season, and the Season before that), so many young ladies are looking for just such an abode to have for their own.  Such a thing happened to my dear friends Lord and Lady Royce, when Lord Royce was a lonely bachelor such as yourself and Lady Royce was Miss Cassandra Richards, fresh from the West Indies.  They are now happily ensconced in their own Cornish castle, with three children and numerous ghosts.  (A Loving Spirit)
