Why I think you should read it:
I enjoy reading historical fiction based on the true lives
of others. Through a little romance into the mix and you have me hooked. Author
Dorothy Love creates the perfect “damsel in distress” through her main character,
India. Beautiful and used to captivating large audiences through her stage
performances, India must now place her trust in a perfect stranger when she is
accused of murder.
Philip Sinclair, lawyer extraordinaire, will have to decide
if he can trust India with his own dark secrets. There are enough secrets,
suspense, and twisty turns to keep a reader glued to their seat as they fly
through the pages to see what happens next. A book well worth reading. I
just might have to check out what other books this author has to offer.
