Claire who was unaware of her uncle's latest perfidy until the attorney told her she has no other option either. Edmund's plan is to wed, send the proof, and annul the marriage.

COME WHAT MAY is an exhilarating historical romance that stars two strong lead characters and support players who provide the depth to a land on the brink of war. The story line is tremendous when Seaton-Smythe stays in the shadows as a brilliant Machiavellian playing with the lives of people. When he turns into flesh and blood, the plot loses some of its edge, as he seems more of a caricature than a sly manipulator. Still, Leslie LaFoy provides readers with a beautiful romance, a wonderful cast, and a fine story that the audience will appreciate.
