Guys, To thank you four (Brenda, Julie, Michael, and the lovely Dale) for your enthusiasm and stepping out of your normal reading genre I've decided you four can have a print proof copy
No draw.
- and 1 more person if interested. If there should be two more people, Brenda will toss a coin :D - and the offer for unlimited electronic version is still on the table.
Thank you so much Sharon, that is very generous of you. I will look forward to reading it.

It might appeal to anyone interested in historical fiction featuring royalty and in particular the rise of the Hanoverians (The George's) rise to the English throne.
The Blurb
Seventeenth century Germany, France and England, are places where love takes a backseat to power — power over people and places. Beautiful Eléonore is deeply in love with George William, heir of a German duchy, and he with her. But he hides a secret that makes a legal marriage impossible.
George William’s younger brother, Ernest, and his own bride are desperate to block George William’s marriage. If George William never has any male heirs by a legal marriage, then Ernest’s sons will inherit George William’s lands and holdings. There are other brothers wanting land too. The brothers’ plots against each other are only half of it. King Louis XIV of France has designs on German territory and aims to take it by force.
Courtesans, all the fashion in France, now sprout like mushrooms in a German forest. None is more ambitious than Klara, forced to return to her homeland from the Court of King Louis. Her version of love is monetary.
The layered schemes of the upper crust make life treacherous for their powerless offspring, especially young Sophia Dorothea, who must smother her heart’s yearnings and yield to the cold commands of her elders or suffer serious consequences.
Playing with Fire weaves together the threads of greed, lust, honour and brutality at the dawn of the Industrial age.
