“a heartfelt romance, a compelling war story, and a meticulously-researched historical thriller.” - Lisa Scottoline, bestselling author of Eternal and Loyalty.
She’s the baron’s daughter. He’s a fugitive. What they share could change history.
1915, southern Italy. Angelina Ruffolo, daughter of a baron, longs for love and freedom beyond her father’s estate. Her family expects her to marry Vincenzo, the mayor’s arrogant son. But Angelina’s heart belongs to Paolo, the humble gardener whose quiet strength awakens her dreams of a different life.
When a plot to stop Italy from entering World War I goes wrong, Paolo is framed for murder and imprisoned. Angelina must risk everything to uncover the truth, but every step closer to justice places her into greater danger.
From the sun-drenched hills of Calabria to the trenches of the Great War, Paolo and Angelina must navigate betrayal, sacrifice and shifting loyalties in order to survive.
A sweeping, unforgettable historical adventure, THE BARON'S DAUGHTER is a tale of forbidden romance and unbreakable courage, set against the backdrop of early 20th century Italy.
I’m a historical fiction fan and after awhile all world war books sound the same. Barons daughter was a breath of fresh air, showing a side of World War I that doesn’t get written about! I highly recommend it to all historical fiction readers!
I absolutely loved this book. I fell in love with the characters and truly felt like I knew them. When they cried, I cried; when they rejoiced, I rejoiced. I felt transported back in time as I read, and never wanted to stop reading.
I felt connected to this book instantly. A beautiful story with the perfect amount of action and intrigue to keep you turning the page. A truly amazing story!
Really well-written novel. I learned a lot about WWI that I didn’t know before! I usually gravitate towards World War II historical fiction, so this was nice for a bit of a change!
