What's the madam of a successful bawdy house in Edinburgh to do when she finds one of the English supported Black Watch soldiers needing to desert his post? She helps him, of course - but there's a high price to pay.
***novella was previously in the Historical Hellions and Lords of Love anthologies***
This is quite the amazing novella. I couldnt put it down and I read it in about 4 hours time. I just adored everything about it. The characters the scenarios going on just all of it was amazing and wonderfully well written like all of Madelines books of course. I am an avid reader of anything she writes, she is truly amazing at what she does.
Freya is the madam of a well known bawdyhouse in edinburg. She does many things other than run that establishment. She helps the poor, gives food and blankets to needy soldiers, she helps women in need learn new skills so they can get back on their feet. She is not just a one thing wonder at all.
Ewan is a scottish man that joing the British army to overcome his father being labeled as a traitor by the British army. He brings his men to her establishment but never actually partakes in the women just sits and drinks his tea at the bar.
These two characters fight and go to war with eachother over a simple issue and she ends up saving his life and protects him after he leaves the british army.
Its an amazing love story and what you find out about freya is crazy and amazing and not something you will expect.
5 stars all the way
