This is another new author for me Jane Feather is a
delightful read...
In this story we meet Lady Hero Fanshaw who doesn’t live by
the society rules, she is a very strong willed lady which does not all ways
does as she is told. She lives with her twin brother in the heart of London, so
When Alec goes missing to trip to find his fiancé. Hero thinks about nothing
but getting them back on England soil and heads to Paris into the lion’s den to
find them. Paris was at its height of the revolution so if she was to found of
noble blood then her head would be off so Hero finds herself travelling as a
young man, who manages to land up in jail within a short time of arriving in
Paris. But before long she is not the only one in her cell and from the shadows
a man appears and realizes that’s he is not sharing with a young man but a
young lady and one pf noble blood too, He
introduces himself as William Ducasse, Viscount st.Aubrey and comes up with a plan for
them to escape . Once safe away from the
jail Hero explains her story and mission to return to England with her family.
William explains that he might be able to find Alex but could not make any
promises, but from the moment they eyes meet the chemistry started to boil….
When they arrive at the safe house that William has been using, Hero washes and
feels a little human, while she eats they quiz her of how she travelled across
the waters with she even had to draw what she saw and that was very little,
from the information she had given they realized she travelled over with the
“Lizard” Williams emery!!!!!
AS the night goes on more and more men arrive at the safe
house for food and pass and receive information to fight the revolution and
help the rich and noble escape France and the gelatine, then Alex walks in and
Hero is so glad to see him… Alex is not so frilled that she travelled alone
through France to find him... All is well when they retire to bed which she
finds that she is sharing with William, but they lust boils over and they land
up in each other’s arms!!!!!!!
The next morning plans were made the days gathering
information for their next move. Hero was to return to women’s clothes but a
more common style she was suited too, so she would not draw attention to the
safe house. So back to the dress she goes but still wants to help to do her bit
for the escape plan. William finds pout that Marie Claire is in prison waiting
to be executed the next afternoon, but it was too late for her mother and father,
the plan is set in place and everyone has a part to play. Hero play her part
well integrating in the crowd to get Marie Claire attention that they were
going to help her escape and make her way to end of the cart and they would do
the rest. Once Marie Claire was safely from the cart, Hero left the crowds she
felt that she was being followed and spent as very long time clucking and
driving making sure that she does not lead anyone back to the safe house. When
she arrives back after making sure she was not followed her, faces a very angry
William which turns into pure passion, when they come up for air they return
downstairs for Hero to be reunited with Marie Claire who she had dearly missed,
that night the men planned the escape and Hero helped Marie Claire bath and
sleep the she headed to bed herself making sure that Marie Claire made it
through the night and dreaming that she could love again after losing her love
six years ago.
Early hours of the morning they made their way out of the
big city out of eye view and made it to the seas without much trouble, could
Hero love someone that in a blink of an eye kill but times are kill or be
killed… They made their way across the seas to safe waters; Hero and William

dress and the atmosphere change the love affair was over William states that he
did not make any promises and it was never a permeant arrangement and leaves Hero with a broken heart.
12 months later their paths cross and the chemistry was
still there and Hero is confused more than ever but the most of all she needed
him to explain for his departure. William pulls her near and pushes her away
