A PERSON OF NO CONSEQUENCE
A short regency romance by Alison Stuart
February 1815: Fabien, Comte de Mont Clair, once a highly decorated officer of the exiled Napoleon, cuts a dashing swathe through a London society ball, his eyes only for the glittering ladies of the 'ton'. His heart jolts at the sight of a woman sitting in a shadowed corner. Not just any woman, but one he would have once given the world for.
For Hannah, Lady Trevan, catering to the spoiled darlings of the 'ton' as a humble chaperone is nothing compared to the pain she suffered at the hands of her late husband. Alone and impoverished, she is a person of no consequence but once, a long time ago, she sacrificed her world for the dashing Comte de Mont Clair. Now all she can do is hope that he may glance her way…

Come sit by the camp fire with some of the best historical fiction authors in the business, and listen to the Sarge's tales....
The story of a forbidden love affair on the eve of Napoleon's escape from Elba. The eerie tale of what happened to Mark Skinner in the orchard at Hougoumont Waterloo, through the tear-filled eyes of Marshal Ney. The story of the Idiots Abroad. You will laugh. You will cry. You will want to strangle the lot of them... ... and many more. All proceeds go to the St Luke's Hospice in Plymouth, who took such good care of our Sarge. And all stories were chosen because he'd have liked 'em. |

A Person of No Consequence by Alison Stuart:
Historical Romance.
Picture a glittering ballroom and fine array of coming-out damsels in search of wealthy husbands, chaperones in abundance like faded wallflowers, and young bucks in search of suitable brides. Thus the scene is set for an elegant marriage mart, though not all the guests are seeking marriageable prey. Hence a heart-stopping moment occurs, and memories from the past leap to the fore and cause distress to one person, whilst curiosity is heightened for another. But can one dare to dream the past could ever be revisited in the present and secure a differing outcome?
A lovely sweet romance in Alison Stuart’s inimitable and award winning style.
