Honoria or The Safety of the Frying Pan Catherine J Bowness

Honoria is an heiress. With her twenty-first birthday less than a year away, she is not the only person beginning to make plans for the money she will inherit. As she becomes aware of her vulnerability, she decides to take matters into her own hands with consequences that might have been predicted if she had been a little more wary. It is not long before she finds herself on a perilous adventure into the heart of Europe. Meanwhile Cassie, whom readers first met in Sylvia, has taken refuge in Vienna where she is beginning to feel lonely. A painful accident throws her into the path of two men and one little boy, all of whom are destined to have a profound effect upon her life. This latest Bowness Regency Romance has all the usual ingredients: lively heroines, handsome heroes, treacherous villains and a variety of other characters - some pleasant, others less so; their story is told with sympathy as well as a good pinch of ironic humour. Praise for this author's other books include: 'I love the language, the author is so witty, the characters very likeable, and complex, as real characters are;' and 'Catherine Bowness writes Regency Romances with great plots. They are full of excitement, with a mystery at the heart of a very real romance.'
