Aprašymas

When Cade Badgley returns from a diplomatic mission in Rome to discover that his estranged father is dying, he has no choice but to accept an unwanted earldom, a crumbling estate and empty coffers. A kindly neighbor offers aid in return for an escort that will take his daughter to London to find a husband. Though the girl is a tempestuous artist with no marriageable skills, she quickly becomes sought-after by a man Cade has every reason not to trust. As Queen Mary Tudor lays dying, threatening the security of the realm, Cade finds himself in a battle involving his conscience, his heart, and his very life - and that of the woman he's come to love.

"Some Rise by Sin is a sumptuous tale of romance, religious turmoil and political intrigue set against the dramatic backdrop of the dying days of Mary Tudor's reign. With the keen eye of an artist Courtney J. Hall paints a vivid picture, rich in historical detail, of this turbulent time of transition at the Tudor court." - Marie Macpherson, author of "The First Blast of the Trumpet"

"Tudor history comes alive in this enthralling tale of a reluctant heir to an earldom and the high-spirited lady who wins his heart. An absorbing and memorable read." Pamela Mingle, author of "Kissing Shakespeare" and "The Pursuit of Mary Bennet"
