Lady Merry's Dashing Champion

Lady Trilogy #3

by Jeane Westin

In Restoration England, smart and determined Meriel St. Thomas, orphaned ward and lowly servant, is thrust into a game of international intrigue . . . and the adventure of a lifetime.

It seems Meriel—called Merry—looks exactly like the wife of Lord Giles, Earl of Warborough, whose legendary heroism has long sent a thrill down Merry's spine. Giles's cold, unfaithful wife is known to be a spy for the Dutch. Coerced by the British king's spymaster, Merry takes the traitor's place as a double-agent—with the aim of delivering false intelligence to the waiting Dutch.

But Merry's dangerous mission only fans the flames of her smoldering desire for Giles—even as Giles is overtaken by passion for a "wife" who's suddenly become all he ever wanted.

About the author

Jeane Westin's professional writing career began with a humourous camping disaster article for her local newspaper. National newspaper and magazine articles followed until she moved on to non-fiction books and then to long hardback historical novels. Jeane's second novel, 'Swing Sisters' came out of her youthful love of jazz, the major record collections she carted about the country and from wondering what women's role was during the early years of that special American music.

A very enjoyable read! It was a fun ride. I loved Merele. She was clever, witty, and brave.

I am firmly attached and it's really exciting!



Every chapter, I anticipate what will happen... When Meriel St. Thomas was discovered that she resembles the traitorous wife of Earl Giles Warborough, she is used to be an agent for the king. Every meeting with the late Lady Felice's companion have put Meriel to test her courage and bravery. But the real test is to keep her for falsifying the ciphered information for the enemy, the Duth!

Giles looked at her differently then as a her former wife which is held by King Charle's spymaster, Chiffinch. Then, at times I rally am excited of what will happen next. At last, as I expected, near the end, she was discovered and it was funny for that part (see for yourself). The very end was very light and left you wondering what will happen next. --BUT--wait! No, it was nearly perfect! I'm very satisfied~
