Lady Alicia, is the self-confessed light of her father's life. But the much loved and beautiful daughter of Lord and Lady Pavier, of the noble House of Wingrave, is set to disoblige her family in marriage when she rejects the fabulously wealthy, Lord Biggins... the brilliant match the family craved. A dash to Gretna Green, finds Lady Alicia disinherited… and the newly married pair are forced to flee England to escape his lordship's wrath. Some years later, the couple's only child, Ella, is left an orphan and the four-year-old girl is now alone in the world. Although unwanted by the noble Wingrave family, the girl is nonetheless taken in… and Ella must learn to negotiate her way… with a family who will neither forgive nor forget: but indeed, seems determined to extend only enmity towards the child. While quietly employed in a teaching post at a Parish charity school, the twenty-one-year-old Ella is once again recalled to the family home, historic Deems Castle, only for Ella to discover she is to be cast as a reluctant bride in marriage the following morning, to a Frenchman unknown to her. To banish Ella from English shores, seems the family's coup de grace: the finishing stroke, against a girl innocent of any charge. This is a story of intrigue, love and loyalty… more especially when, at the time of the fear and turbulence of the French Revolution, the truest love can be over-shadowed by death.

Polite society has its rules for marriage. But for Ella Quinn’s eligible bachelors, their brides will show them that rules are for the faint of heart . . . Phoebe Stanhope is not a typical Lady. As feisty as she is quick witted, no one can catch her, especially when she is driving her dashing phaeton with its perfectly matched horses. And unlike her peers, experience has guarded her against a growing list of would-be suitors. But when she encounters Marcus Finley, what she fears most burns deep within his blue-eyed gaze . . . For Lord Marcus, the spark of recognition is but a moment in the love he has held these many years. Now that he’s returned to England, all the happiness he desires rests on Lady Phoebe never finding out that he was the one who turned her heart so cold and distant. He must work fast to gain the advantage—to convince her what she wants is exactly what she denies—but in order to seduce her into his arms, he must be willing to give up more than he can control . . . “Lady Phoebe is a heroine Georgette Heyer would adore—plucky, pretty, and well worth the devotion of the dashing Lord Marcus. A marvelous find for Regency romance readers.” —Grace Burrowes, New York Times bestselling author

The emergence, dominance, and alarmingly rapid retreat of modernist industrial capitalism on Cape Breton Island during the “long twentieth century” offers a particularly captivating window on the lasting and varied effects of deindustrialization. Now, at the tail end of the industrial moment in North American history, the story of Cape Breton Island presents an opportunity to reflect on how industrialization and deindustrialization have shaped human experiences. Covering the period between 1860 and the early 2000s, this volume looks at trade unionism, state and cultural responses to deindustrialization, including the more recent pivot towards the tourist industry, and the lived experiences of Indigenous and Black people. Rather than focusing on the separate or distinct nature of Cape Breton, contributors place the island within broad transnational networks such as the financial world of the Anglo-Atlantic, the Celtic music revival, the Black diaspora, Canadian development programs, and more. In capturing the vital elements of a region on the rural resource frontier that was battered by deindustrialization, the histories included here show how the interplay of the state, cultures, and transnational connections shaped how people navigated these heavy pressures, both individually and collectively.
