Lord Harry
Catherine Coulter

Dear Reader:

Lord Harry, one of my first novels, was originally titled Lord Harry’s Folly. I rewrote the story extensively in 1995, adding to and changing dialogue, actions, and descriptions, yet the original plot is still here. I’m convinced—and I’m sure you will be too—that the characters are much happier now that they’ve lived with me for twenty years and taught me more about themselves.

Lord Harry is really Henrietta Rolland, a young lady who has assumed the guise of a gentleman to track down and kill Jason Cavandar, the marquess of Oberlon, the man she believes responsible for her brother Damien’s death at the Battle of Waterloo. She wants to challenge him to a duel. When he’s lying at her feet, then and only then will she tell him why she’s killed him, and who she really is. Unfortunately, there’s a really big snag.

You will laugh at Lord Harry’s outrageous adventures. Together, Jason and Henrietta Rolland will touch you—they did me and still continue to do so.
