Shirley Kent

Royal Child Shirley Kent

Not since Catherine in Wuthering Heights has there been a heroine as willful and tempestuous as the beautiful young Moira in Shirley Kent's dazzlingly romantic drama, Royal Child. An innocent at eighteen, Moira falls for the lusty Prince John, who promptly seduces her. Moira is startled to discover a hunger for sex that matches his own, but Moira makes one fatal mistake: misinterpreting his passion for love. In sumptuous prose, Kent captures the magic of life in a royal castle and the rich setting of the Victorian era. Her characters are both complex and alive, and none are more compelling than the feisty Moira. Whether you love historical romances or simply yearn for a riveting story about people who seem larger than life, this well-plotted and commendable tale is for you.
