Desde una infancia inmersa en una amplia gama de libros, la autora desarrolló una profunda apreciación por la narrativa y la historia. Esta exposición temprana, que abarcó desde cuentos infantiles clásicos hasta las aventuras históricas que disfrutaba su abuelo, despertó una pasión de por vida por la escritura. Para ella, crear historias es similar a viajar en el tiempo, ofreciendo una escapada a diferentes mentes, épocas y culturas. Su objetivo es transportar a sus lectores a estos otros mundos, brindándoles un viaje placentero y, quizás, una o dos nuevas perspectivas.

A bride at fifteen, widowed at the tender age of twenty, Barbara, Countess Devane, embarks for colonial Virginia financially ruined by the death of her husband in scandalous circumstances. Dressed in mourning as is proper for a woman, she is patronizingly described as a "fragile black butterfly," but the fragility is deceiving. She makes a place for herself in the new world, takes lovers and friends across political divides, and questions the established traditions of slavery. Facing enemies she never suspected, she must return to England and deal face to face with the problems created by her husband, who haunts her even in death. Back in London, she quickly finds herself pulled into Jacobite plotting, and the treachery of powerful men suddenly threatens her family, her friends--and a new love
