- THE HIGHEST STAKES by Emery Lee
WHAT WOULD YOU WAGER FOR LOVE???
In the high stakes gentleman's world of 18th century horseracing, a
stable groom-cum-war hero returns to claim the girl he has loved since
spying her riding hell-for-leather over the Doncaster heath.
Determined to have her at any cost, he will risk everything.
A story of star-crossed lovers and horseracing, THE HIGHEST STAKES
transports the reader to 18th century England, an era infamous for
corruption, arranged marriages, and high stakes gambling; when
racing and breeding became the obsession of the uppermost elite, and
a match race might replace a duel in settling a point of honor.
Through the fictional love story of Robert Devington and Charlottte
Wallace, a tale of drama, danger, thwarted love, and retribution
unfurls...
Set in mid-eighteenth century England, the Highest Stakes is a love story. Or,
to be more precise, a story of love constantly foiled and frustrated.There is
much ado about horses. Charlotte and Robert’s love blossoms as he teaches
her about riding, and only their passion for each other eclipses their mutual
love of all things equine. But realizing their dreams of romance seems ever
beyond their reach. With each twist and turn of fate and the machinations of
wily antagonists, Emery Lee ratchets up the suspense. The beauty of the book
is that you cannot anticipate how it will go; you can only hang on for the ride.-
