SCANDALOUS LADY
Constantinople 1811
Not
a promising start to the relationship between the diplomat and the artist.....
'It would be very easy, Olivia,' he insisted, his eyes flashing as she
kept shaking her head. 'No servant would hesitate if I gave the order to have
you tied in a sack and thrown in the Bosphorus.'
At
this she leapt to her feet. 'You are disgusting!' she shouted, 'I
can hardly believe you're human when you talk like that. You take me away by
force and plan to use me for your entertainment with no respect for my wishes
or my reputation.'
He
rose in one fluid movement and stood over her. 'You have no reputation.'
...and it soon
gets much more complicated ! Oh dear!
The
reviews for my story are very encouraging and I'm delighted to share some of them

I have
just finished reading this book and, although it was after midnight, I simply
couldn't put it down until
I had reached the end. Beautifully written with such detail of what took
place at the time.
The
descriptions were just right of the characters, enough but not too much. I
love to have some freedom to
add my own thoughts on the characters. This was well researched and well
written, hence the
5 star I have given it. An insight into the troubles at the times, with
romance thrown in, as well as
danger.

Olivia is a wonderful character. She
is delightfully independent. She knows exactly what she wants and what she needs and has the
courage to get it. She is also so real, so strong. It was like following a friend that I admired through her
adventures.
