An innocent long-distance correspondence leads to complications in
this Regency romance by the New York Times-bestselling author of For
My Lady's Heart.
Married to an elderly man, Folie Hamilton finds her lonely days
brightened by light-hearted letters from her husband's cousin, Lt.
Robert Cambourne, stationed in Calcutta for the British East India
Company. Robert calls her his princess, and she dubs him her knight
errant. Unbidden love blossoms, yet upon the death of her husband,
Robert's last letter shatters her heart with three words: I am
married.
Four years later, Robert summons Folie and her stepdaughter to his
estate in England. The girl is his ward, so they must go. The man who
greets them, however, is nothing like the charming lieutenant of his
letters. This Robert is demented. Screaming at ghosts in demonic rage,
he is paranoid and frightening. Yet her body longs to caress his perfect
features, to hold his tall, angular body, to find the man who once
captured her heart . . .
Someone is poisoning him, spinning his brain into madness, of that
Robert is sure, but who--and why? Haunted by his dead wife, the one
thing his tortured mind understands is that he must keep Folie safe.
Folie, with her beautiful expressive eyes, the only warmth in his
nightmare world . . .
Nominated for a RITA award, My Sweet Folly is another unforgettable
love story filled with passion and suspense from the author of Flowers
From the Storm, whose work has been praised by Julia Quinn as
"unfailingly brilliant and beautiful."
