I haven’t read this one yet, but I followed these same characters in Carrie Hayes’ first book “Naked Truth: Or Equality, the Forbidden Truth.” Her use of history to weave an interesting and wonderful tale is absolutely delightful. You can read my review of that one here. And we can all get this one at the links provided in the caption.

A fictional account of an actual incident in the lives of Americans abroad, and the battle for happiness when social convention collides with our heart’s desire.
London, 1877. Retired suffragists, VICTORIA WOODHULL and TENNESEE CLAFLIN are shrewd, attractive, and looking for husbands. But their backgrounds are sketchy. No one knows they’ve been paid – one might say bribed – a fortune to leave New York. That they’ve been accused of intrigue, blackmail and worse are just details best left alone. London is where they’ll start over. But when Victoria finds the love of her life, her prospects are threatened by a striking resemblance to a character in a story by HENRY JAMES. Frantic to whitewash their past, she seeks Tennessee’s help, unaware that Tennessee is in the midst of her own struggle, consumed by an illicit affair with a Duchess who is not only married, but is also mistress to the Prince of Wales.
About the Author
Over the years, Carrie has tried a lot of things. She’s sold vacuum cleaners, annuities and sofas. She’s lived at the beach and lived in Europe. She’s taught school and worked in film. For a while, she was an aspiring librarian, but she fell in love and threw her life away instead. Back in the States, she started over, then met an architect who said, “Why don’t you become a kitchen designer?” So, she did. Eventually, she designed interiors, too. And all that time, she was reading. What mattered was having something to read. Slowly, she realized her craving for books sprang from her need to know how things would turn out. Because in real life, you don’t know how things will turn out. But if you write it, you do. Naked Truth or Equality the Forbidden Fruit was her first book.
