Author Josie Riviera is my guest today and she writes REGENCY ROMANCE–one of my favorites! Here’s Josie and be sure to read to the part about a free ebook.

Lady Patience Blakwell,

the heroine in Seeking Patience, my Regency Inspirational romance, shows great courage and strength throughout the novel, although she is only twenty years old. She’s a widowed countess who suffered terrible abuse at her late husband’s hands, as well as at the hands of a cruel cousin, which left her with a burn scar on her cheek. Now she’s living in near poverty, a petite woman who looks frail on the outside, but isn’t afraid of confronting uncomfortable situations head-on.

capable manager
She capably manages her dower house in near poverty, along with only a few faithful servants. Although her late husband’s heir uses threats to keep her from demanding her rightful inheritance, she fights these threats by taking matters into her own hands and seeking legal counsel.
Her faith keeps her strong … until the day a bold, handsome, and severely injured Romany (Gypsy) man collapses in her hall.

even stronger
Then she becomes even stronger, tending to his wounds, hiding him in her home, risking her life for him when she’s confronted and threatened by a brutal Romany (Gypsy) leader.
As she tends to the hero, she embraces his language and traditions. In the Regency period, the English looked down on the Rom (Gypsies.) Nonetheless, Lady Patience cares for everyone, regardless of their cultural background or circumstances. She gives her scant provisions freely to feed the hero’s tribe. Although Gypsies were considered thieves, it is her simple faith that captures his love.
But then a secret from Lady Patience’s past emerges, and her faith is tested. She confronts the secret with an open, accepting heart. However, the hero’s freedom means everything to him, and the heroine’s secret could shatter his heart.

Luca Boldor, Romany leader, lives a nomad’s life in Regency England with his Gypsy caravan. Believing his noble father abandoned him at birth, he refuses to acknowledge his English blood, or live a settled life. But when a vicious attack by a rival leaves him bleeding on an English lady’s doorstep, he has no choice but to accept her help. Her gentle faith stirs his heart in a way he has long denied.
