Francesca: The Silk Merchant's Daughters

Francesca: The Silk Merchant's Daughters

New York Times bestselling author Bertrice Small continues her glorious historical-romance series featuring four sisters in Renaissance Florence who have anything but marriage on their mindsâ€¦.

Giovanni Pietro dâ€™Angelos selected his oldest daughterâ€™s husband, and the marriage proved to be a disaster. He offers to give his next oldest daughter, Francesca, more latitude in choosing a husband than her sister had. But the arrogant beauty has no desire to marry, and she drives every potential suitor away.

The Duke of Terreno Boscoso seeks a wife for his heir, Rafaello, and invites Francesca, along with several other possible brides, to come meet him. Francescaâ€™s parents think itâ€™s a good match, but she refuses to consider it until her father makes her a promise: If he does not suit, you may return. She is therefore shocked when, not long after they meet, Rafaello chooses her as his bride and her parents agree to his proposalâ€”without her consent.

Furious and feeling betrayed, Francesca flees into the woods and takes shelter at an inn. There, she earns her keep as a servantâ€”and meets an unlikely suitor who steals her heart. But the future remains uncertain for the runaway bride, who is still promised to another.
