- This book is dedicated to several very special people:
First and foremost, Jacqueline Cantor, my editor, whose wonderful enthusiasm and appreciation for my writing inspire me to drive that much harder for perfection.
To my agent, Ruth Cohen, who is always there when I need her.
To numerous people in the business who have done what they can to help: Kathryn Falk, Kathe Robin, and Carol Stacy of Romantic Timesmagazine; John Nelson of National Books; Denise Favor of Martin News; Pam Huddleston of Trinity News; Frances Perine, Louise Laumb, Jason Simms, and Nancy Gray of Waldenbooks; Carole Williams of the Book Rack; and Denise Little and Susan Heimann of B. Dalton.
And to those individuals who strive and survive right along with me: Phoebe Stell, Jillian Hunter, Laura Kinsale, Rebecca George, and Carol Bolin (who brought me the wonderful research book all the way from London!)—special friends, wonderful writers. I love you all. - First words
- Prologue:
Had Mercy Dansing still possessed any belief, any fear of God whatsoever on that sweltering August night, she might have considered that what had just transpired between her and George Balfour, junior politician ... (show all)of Balliol College, crusader for the socialist cause, had been an unpardonable sin. - Publisher's editor
