Book
Devil in Spring
First published 2017
Pandora Ravenel wants to build a business around the board game she has designed and has no intention of surrendering control of her life through marriage. A compromising accident with Gabriel, Lord St. Vincent, creates intense pressure to wed, and the pair must decide whether their attraction can coexist with Pandora’s professional ambitions.
The heroine’s inventive career was inspired by women such as game designer Elizabeth Magie, although Pandora herself is fictional. The novel examines patents, entrepreneurship and the legal disadvantages married women faced when trying to retain property and business authority.
