Widow In Scarlet is a romantic tale filled with suspense and enough characters and plot to have you quickly turning the pages to find answers to the situation Nicole Byrd builds. It's refreshing to watch this couple build a strong friendship and see the true nature in each other before romance develops. Nicholas is surprised by Lucy's strength, and delighted by her untouched passion. It will take the love of an unselfish Lucy to bring out the painful past Nicholas lives with in order for healing to take place and allow him to love again. The rogue in Nicholas is just what Lucy needs to teach her what was missing in her marriage with Stanley. Ms. Byrd includes a group of villains in this novel, and readers will be stomping and cheering at her conclusion. Watch for the release of Widow In Scarlet, because it is a superb Regency tale you won't want to miss.
