From New York Times bestselling author Lauren Royal and her daughter comes the first novel in their beloved series featuring the “outrageously funny, loyal, and endearing” Chase family.
Amethyst Goldsmith makes dazzling jewelry, but her future isn’t nearly as bright as the pieces she creates. Though custom dictates she wed her father’s apprentice, her heart rebels against the match. In mere days Amy will be condemned to a stifling, loveless marriage, and she sees no way out—until the devastating fire of 1666 sweeps through London, and tragedy lands her in the arms of a dashing young earl who knows a diamond in the rough when he sees it…
Colin Chase, the Earl of Greystone, has his future all figured out. He’s restoring his crumbling castle and estate to its former glory, and the key to its completion is his rich bride-to-be. But the Great Fire lays waste to his plans, saddling him with trouble—in the form of a penniless shopkeeper’s daughter with whom he’s most inconveniently falling in love…

Customer Reviews
Great read
I am no book critic but I do know that I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Very interesting story with just a hint of the fruity side of relationships excellent
An engrossing read
This is the wonderful story of Colin and Amy, a couple seemingly destined to be together although they are betrothed to other people, will there be a happy solution to their problems? There is also the fascinating and highly entertaining interaction between Colin and his siblings. A boisterous family who love practical jokes and are not above interfering in each other's lives, albeit done with loving intentions.
This is a book that is difficult to put down, adding to its appeal are the historical events that are happening, the Great Fire of London and it's aftermath, the new court of Charles 11, the legacy of Cromwell's time. I can thoroughly recommend this book and if this is your first book about the Chase family, you will definitely want to read more. I received a free copy for an honest review.
