Read during Spring 2003 More of the saga of Eversleigh and it's inhabitants. The heroine is the daughter of Arabella and Carleton Eversleigh from Lament for a Lost Lover but even with the family tree in the front cover, it is hard to keep track of who is the illegatimate child of whom. Priscilla has a daughter(Carlotta) from an illict romance at the age of 14 with a condemned Catholic nobleman and her mother's friend Harriet raises her as her own.

In Restoration England, a family secret unleashes intrigue, incest, and treachery in this saga by a New York Times-bestselling author. While England continues to be torn apart by political and religious turmoil, fourteen-year-old Priscilla Eversleigh gives herself to fugitive Jocelyn Frinton in a moment of youthful passion. Desperate to conceal her shameful secret from her family, Priscilla journeys to Venice, Italy, where her illegitimate daughter, Carlotta, is passed off to another woman--and a conspiracy is born. Priscilla's past will haunt her in the decades to come. As fortune-hunters circle, Carlotta becomes a pawn in a twisted game of greed and revenge. Now Priscilla must make the ultimate sacrifice--even if it costs her the man she loves--which will shape not only Carlotta's future, but also the lives of the generations of Eversleigh women to come.

The plot itself is fine but feels underplayed. There's potential for better things.
I liked the characters though none especially stood out. ( )
