The Painted Fan (A Short Story)

Nineteen and enjoying her first season, Miss Anna Gosforth is ready for romance. But the possibility of war with France looms, and danger is everywhere—even in the glittering ballrooms of high society.

Caught up in a sinister scheme to pass secrets to the enemy, Anna comes up against one of Napoleon’s most dangerous agents and discovers that quick-wittedness and resourcefulness are just as important as prettiness and poise.

A lively comedy of manners set in the Regency era, The Painted Fan tells the story of a young woman finding true love and, on the way, finding herself. Rated '1/5 - Glimpses and kisses' for steam/spice/heat level.
