Dear Reader,
What comes to mind when you think of a diamond slipper? Cinderella, perhaps? That's what Cordelia Brandenburg imagines when her godparents arrange a
marriage for her with a man she's never met--a marriage that will take her to Versailles, far from the rigid confines of her childhood home. The betrothal
gift is a charm bracelet with a tiny, glittering diamond slipper attached...as befits a journey into a fairy-tale future.
But Cordelia--young, headstrong, and completely adorable--runs into trouble right away. Her escort to the wedding is the golden-eyed, sensual, teasing Viscount Leo Kierston. For Cordelia, it's love at first sight. Yet Leo seems to see only a spoiled child--perhaps it's the way she cheats at chess--and Cordelia is determined to show him the woman beneath.
There is, however, no escaping her arranged marriage. She's devastated to discover that her new husband is an utterly loathsome tyrant who will stop at nothing to satisfy his twisted desires.
My heart went out to Cordelia as she struggles courageously against a man determined to break her spirit. But her husband has a secret, one that will bring down the vengeance of Viscount Kierston and all who have reason to hate him.
I hope you'll enjoy this love story of two of my very favorite characters.
Warmest wishes,
Jane Feather
P.S. The charm bracelet makes its next appearance in The Silver Rose.
Look for it next summer.

Journal Entry 5 by penelopewanders from Saint-Loup-des Vignes, Centre France on Thursday, March 11, 2010
Have already read The Silver Rose, years ago, and always wanted to read the others. I've taken this out of the bookbox, thanks!
Journal Entry 6 by penelopewanders at Hasliberg, Bern / Berne Switzerland on Saturday, April 23, 2011
Not my favorite Feather - partly due to the age discrepancy...even if 16 was ripe for matrimony at that time. Also the stupid risks they took were too... stupid. Towards the end I did warm up to it. I know I read (and traded) another in this series and enjoyed it... and was wondering about the third by the time I finished.
Currently in Mallorca.

Released 8 yrs ago (6/12/2015 UTC) at CE - Montoyer 34 Building in Bruxelles / Brussel, Bruxelles / Brussel Belgium
WILD RELEASE NOTES:
It is more what you would call a semi-controlled release, as I will be leaving the book on a table in the reception area in front of my office (inside the buildings of the European Commission - MO-34, MEZ/33), where people visiting us will be able to take it - and hopefully join BookCrossing
