From the script writer of the epic TV drama, VICTORIA comes Daisy
Goodwin's THE FORTUNE HUNTER for readers of MY LAST DUCHESS (THE
AMERICAN HEIRESS) and any novel by Georgette Heyer *A Richard and
Judy Book Club title* 'Pure, light-hearted, unpretentious
entertainment' Sunday Express In 1875, Sisi, the Empress of Austria
is the woman that every man desires and every woman envies.
Beautiful, athletic and intelligent, Sisi has everything - except
happiness. Bored with the stultifying etiquette of the Hapsburg
Court and her dutiful but unexciting husband, Franz Joseph, Sisi
comes to England to hunt. She also comes looking for excitement and
finds it in the dashing form of Captain Bay Middleton, the only man
in Europe who can outride her. Ten years younger than her and
engaged to the rich and devoted Charlotte, Bay has everything to
lose by falling for a woman who can never be his. But Bay and the
Empress are as reckless as each other, and their mutual attraction
is a force that cannot be denied.
