Many things had happened at the house party, including the shattering of Jocasta’s naive confidence, when Paxton had preferred her younger sister, Portia.\u003cbr\u003eJocasta was making a good job of pretending to be fine, and only one man can see that her front is false.\u003cbr\u003eSir Damon Regis, known in London as The Demon King, has a wicked reputation and a use of his own for Jocasta Fortune – but not one which includes wooing her. Pursuing her for one of his renowned schemes, Sir Damon seems the only one who sees beneath Jocasta’s act, and then feels bound to do something about it.\u003cbr\u003eEnter Cecilia Montgomery, newly arrived from her country home accompanied by her childhood friend, Tom, who is also the Duke of Enderby.\u003cbr\u003eEnderby is smitten by Jocasta, but Cecilia wants to use the duke to tease Damon, who considers himself her guardian, and is suspicious of the rakish duke’s interest in his ward. Cecilia persuades Tom to make damon worry more, by appearing to woo her.\u003cbr\u003eSoon the whole town talks of a love triangle between Cecilia, the duke and Jocasta.\u003cbr\u003eDukes, rakes, and adventure … and two girls tumble headlong into love.\u003cbr\u003eReaders of the first sisters of Castle Fortune book, Georgette and the Unrequited Love, will be glad to encounter many old friends in this novel, including Georgette and the Marquis of Onslow, Sir Justin Faulkes, and other old friends from the house party at Castle Fortune.\u003cbr\u003ePraise for Alicia Cameron …\u003cbr\u003e“others have been compared to Georgette Heyer by numerous agents and propogandists. Ms Cameron has… the ability to make her characters live in the minds of readers … and the comparison is not spurious. She produces re-readable works of literature. I have now read every book of hers…”\u003cbr\u003e“Romantic and fun. A touch of the wit of Jane Austen, Oscar Wilde and Georgette Heyer.”\u003cbr\u003e“Since reading her first book, Clarissa and the Poor Relations, I have been obsessed with Alicia Cameron.”\u003cbr\u003e“Sparkling and witty repartee, frothy plots and feisty heroines. Alicia Cameron does it again!”\u003cbr\u003e“I have reread every book five times!”\u003cbr\u003e“Clothes, manners and romance of the Regency period, beautifully conveyed.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Romance, Historical\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Independently published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9798523051937\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cameron, Alicia","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £5.59","offer_id":48054766567601,"sku":"SB-9798523051937-C3","price":5.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/9798523051937.jpg?v=1792284938","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/jocasta-and-the-cruelty-of-kindness-a-feel-good-regency-romance-sisters-of-castle-fortune","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
