Cô Tư Hồng là người nổi danh khắp xứ An Nam cuối thế kỷ XIX, đầu thế kỷ XX vì trúng thầu phá tường thành Hà Nội năm 1894. Thành do vua Gia Long xây dựng đầu thế kỷ XIX với diện tích nhỏ hơn trên khu vực Hoàng thành thời Hậu Lê và các triều đại trước đó. Cô Tư Hồng cũng nổi danh về tài buôn bán, làm từ thiện, lấy chồng Tàu, chồng Tây. Tên cô Tư Hồng do dân gian đặt, có lẽ là tên ghép giữa Hồng và Tư, bởi sau khi chia tay với người chồng gốc Quảng Đông tên Hồng, cô lên Hà Nội lấy Laglan, một quan tư hậu cần người Pháp. Thời Pháp thuộc, người Việt Nam dùng cụm từ "me Tây" chỉ phụ nữ Việt Nam lấy chồng người Pháp, cụm từ này vẫn còn được sử dụng đến trước năm 1975 qua hai chữ "me Mỹ".

Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong? *** It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed. Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out? Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
