In 1770, Alison Singleton had a lot to look forward to. That summer would be her first season in London's high society. The allure of dancing by candlelight in gilded ballrooms hid the stark reality that most women of her age would become trapped in an early marriage. When news came from the colonies that her father had to remain at his military post in Virginia, her mother decided to join him in the New World.
Ally had an adventurous spirit. She saw this as the perfect opportunity to escape the trappings of class in England and explore America. Little did she know what awaited her on the other side of the Atlantic. Between the British Army, the colonists, and the Native Americans, tensions were rising.
Readers of Julia Quinn and Barbara Davis will love this historically accurate portrayal of pre-revolutionary America as Bridgerton meets 1883.
