Lady Eliza Turner has no interest in finding herself a wealthy husband, she has her books, her best friend Charlotte, and plenty of opinions on what society expects from her. When her curiosity gets the better of her, and she ends up in a compromising position with the desirable Duke Harrington she must use all her wits and charm to survive the scandal she has created. Jasper Harrington doesn't enjoy attending social occasions especially when opinionated women think that it is acceptable to criticise him, but there is something about Eliza that he can't quite bear to part with. Are this odd couple going to find a happy ever after together or apart?

1885 When her father dies, Rosalind Trevellian (19) is left destitute and homeless. Grief-stricken and apprehensive, Rosalind travels far west to the mansion of her distant cousin Sir Leopold Trevellian. A great scandal has rocked the family in the past, and when Rosalind discovers a dangerous secret, tragedy, death and ignominy will strike again.

This is the saga of Penthesilea--Queen of the Amazons. What secret pact did she make so many thousand years ago for women which only now is coming true? This new novel features the ancient Amazon culture--once thought only to be a myth. Yet out of the mists of time evidence emerges that this dynamic society of all females-did in fact exist. So powerful was their commitment to the nature and independence of women, that their queen-the wise and agile Penthesilea, using a secret covenant shared by later powerful women-travels across time to fulfill a dynamic wish. Amid this historical backdrop Daniela Collins, a young woman living in San Francisco, becomes embroiled in an astounding discovery which unlocks this compact as it begins to unfold internationally. The ancient Amazon queen's legacy becomes irreversibly tied to a movement where the emancipation and betterment of all females is shockingly put into motion. . . Be prepared to be entertained and enlightened. To secure an e-book of this 1st in the "Penthesilea's Wish" trilogy, go here: https://www.amazon.com/author/califia.montalvo
