 Historical Romance Writers: Book Review
Elizabeth’s delightful innocence and growth into a strong woman who knows what she wants is an empowering tale for anyone to read who knows the progression from girl to womanhood well — and the trials and tribulations that shape a persons character.
The story is told from Elizabeth’s meager beginnings in Ireland, where she first met the handsome John Campbell, heir to the Duke of Argyll and her story is fictionalized and chronicled thru to her first marriage to Campbell’s enemy the Duke of Hamilton.
Elizabeth enjoys their brief time together not realizing that John is heir to a Dukedom, and John is totally capitivated by Elizabeth's innocence and charm not realizing that the blonde beauty will be his heart's desire instead of a passing fancy.

With her striking beauty, wit and poise, it is no wonder that Irish society believes Elizabeth Gunning to be of noble birth.
Driven apart by society's rules and her mother's ruthless ambition, Elizabeth marries the less-scrupulous Duke of Hamilton, who hides his brutal nature until after they are wed.
Elizabeth survives his possessiveness and cruelty because of her inner strength and undying love for Campbell.
