CAVALIER's WOMAN first published in 1977 under the nom de plume Joan Hunter-- My first introduction to Jeanne's fiction - Introduced me into a wonderful historical fiction world which I have never left. Tells the story of Prince Rupert's fictional lover. The book is historically accurate - the characters are so real that you fall in love (or hate) with each and every one of them. This paperback is very hard to find.
Publishers notes - "He was a hot-tempered, arrogant Cavalier, the most favored of the king's generals, a brilliant tactician and a royal prince. His love seemed far beyond Venetia's reach. Yet she knew from the first moment she saw him that he must be hers--and hers alone.
Bloody civil war, political intrigue, and jealous hatred separated them and kept them from happiness, but Venetia would risk anything--her family, her honor, even her life--to be his lover. She was ready to follow him to hell itself.
