Author Christine Trent novel is releasing her next novel, By the King's Design, on January 31, 2012! I enjoyed both The Queen's Dollmaker and A Royal Likeness, so I will definitely be checking it out.
SYNOPSIS
Annabelle “Belle” Stirling inherited the family draper shop from her late father, only to have it sabotaged by her ne’er-do-well brother, Wesley. Belle travels to London to seek redress, and while there, the Prince Regent, future King George IV, commissions her to provide fabrics for his Royal Pavilion. As Belle’s renown spreads, she meets handsome cabinetmaker Putnam Boyce, but worries that marriage will mean sacrificing her now flourishing shop.
When Wesley plots to kidnap the newly crowned King, Belle finds herself entangled in a duplicitous world of shifting allegiances, where every choice could have unexpected consequences for her future, her safety, and her kingdom…
I'm looking forward to this! I love Christine's novels!
