Description

Caithness, October 1843, and it’s a grim, stormy afternoon. Wind and rain batter the windows of the Marchmont family home, but Lady Cynthia Marchmont is overjoyed when her father, Lord Joseph Marchmont, suddenly announces the family will move to Edinburgh for the winter season. ‘You and your younger sister Angela will make new friends and go to all the balls and soirees,’ he says, then, reading Cynthia’s mind, adds, ‘You and Angela, two beautiful Marchmont debutantes. Aye, you’ll both be sure to find husbands in Edinburgh, my dear.’

Aged twenty-two, Cynthia is mindful that she risks being classed ‘too old’ for courtship, let alone marriage, according to social standards. But Cynthia has a vision. One of a ravishingly handsome man twirling her across a grand ballroom floor. He’ll betall, with luscious dark hair, intense eyes, and a physique like Michelangelo’s David, she decides. A week later, on the cobbled streets of Edinburgh, Cynthia’s vision becomes a reality when she meets Lord Anthony Sinclair. Rich and charming, Lord Sinclair is the capital’s most eligible bachelor – and a notorious rake. But could Cynthia be the woman who’ll tame the Lord of his philandering ways? And has Lord Sinclair finally found his future wife?

Set against a glittering backdrop of high society Victorian Edinburgh, Enchanted in Edinburgh follows Cynthia’s debut onto the fiercely-competitive marriage market and her subsequent romance with Lord Sinclair – a romance threatened by a blackmail and kidnap plot and malicious bids by Lord Sinclair’s ex-mistresses to sabotage his relationship with Cynthia.

From candelabra-lit ballrooms, music halls and affluent townhouses in the city’s New Town, to sumptuous dining, elaborate fashions and risqué romps in carriages, Enchanted in Edinburgh is an extraordinary story of love and betrayal, one of hope and revenge and justice, too.

Prepare to be enchanted.
