Order Now

Siam was no place for a proper young English lady to travel unchaperoned. But when a vicious rumor destroys her good name, Esme Montrose flees her father’s Bangkok home rather than salvage her reputation by marrying a man she loathes.

Running from the clutches of her hated fiance, she meets the dashing Lord Ian Winthrop. And though she would gladly linger in his arms, Winthrop wants nothing to do with a girl of her tawdry reputation. Her happiness imperiled, Esme has to prove she isn’t a shameless doxy—or she will lose the only man she has ever loved.

I learn something new every day. I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me before, but Regency era theaters were fully lit during the entirety of performances. There was no turning down of the lights, because the “house lights” were candles in sconces and chandeliers! Can you imagine lighting all those, and then blowing them all out, then lighting them again, etc.? It would take forever and be utterly impractical. As for the stage, they had foot lights, which were also candles but set in reflectors. Here’s a drawing I found of them on Pinterest. I collect tons of Regency era images on my various boards, so follow me on Pinterest so we can journey down the historical picture rabbit hole together!
