The Serpent and the Dove

About this book

England... a country torn in two by a bitter and bloody civil war. The handsome young king, Charles II, was on the run, ruthlessly pursued by Cromwell's Puritan forces. And with him, the man they called the King's Shadow, the legendary Sir Justin Douglas. Katherine Ashley had her own reasons for wanting to see him captured, for it was at Sir Justin's hands that her beloved John had died, and now she lived only for the vengeance that she prayed would bring peace at last to her tormented heart. But an ironic fate had decreed otherwise. Soon the Puritan woman and the King's man would be joined in an epic passion that still echoes through the centuries...
