King of Hearts:
League of Roses,
Book One
By: Eileen Putman
September 26, 2017
The Plot:
Not for nothing is Gabriel Sinclair known as the King of Hearts. His wit beguiles, his
charm seduces, and he’s never met a woman he couldn’t captivate. He’s at home on the sea
but nowhere else. As for family? He has seen enough madness in his own to last a lifetime.
He shuns hopeless causes, deeper emotions, any whiff of permanence.
Widowed Louisa Peabody tolerates no man’s touch. Her past has shown her men are
seducers and abusers. She devotes herself to helping women in need, but her clumsy efforts
often end in disaster. After she accidentally saves Gabriel’s life, she persuades him to help
her stage a daring rescue from a prison hulk in the Thames.
But it’s a devil’s bargain: Can she protect herself from that wild, reckless fire in his
eyes? Can he care for anyone but himself?
Reviews Welcome.
Biography:
Eileen Putman is the author of a dozen British historical and Regency romances. Her
love of England’s Regency period (1811-1820) has inspired her research trips to England,
Ireland, Wales, France, and other countries—there being no substitute for stepping on the
soil that Beau Brummell and his champagne-polished Hessians once trod. She is a long-
time journalist for The Associated Press.
