Viscount Louis Wesley doesn’t subscribe to “first comes love, then comes marriage”; in fact, to make a pragmatic match, he seeks to do quite the opposite. Princess Mervat, meanwhile, is not given a choice. Betrothed to the heir to the Egyptian throne in a purely political arrangement, she longs for the freedom to follow her heart. When Louis and Mervat meet at the Louvre, they feel an instant connection but know they are unlikely to meet again. Imagine their surprise when they are reunited for the wedding that Mervat seeks to escape.
VERDICT Helmy (The Earl’s Egyptian Heiress) employs lush detail to transport readers to the captivating Egyptian court in this Victorian-era romance, an enchanting forced-proximity, forbidden-love story.
