The stories of two very different women, linked by the secrets and lies of history, merge together as past and present weave together in this stunning story of love, loss and resilience.
2016. Kitty, fleeing from a devastating revelation in her own life, finds herself at her great-grandfather’s cabin in Lake Akanabee. There she discovers a gorgeous necklace, which leads her uncover to long-buried family secret.
1914. Tatiana, Grand Princess of Russia, falls in love with Dmitri, a Russian solider, as she nurses him back to health. The world is an uncertain place, especially for the Romanov family, and as their romance plays out the world as they know it rapidly crumbles around them.
The stories of two very different women, linked by the secrets and lies of history, merge together as past and present weave together in this stunning story of love, loss and resilience.

"Like Vanity Fair crossed with Poldark...Stunning epic." (Claudia Carroll)
"A terrific adventure story, full of romance and atmospheric detail - a great escapist read." (Liz Trenow)
"No Place for a Lady is a gripping historical read about two sisters caught up in the Crimean War: one a young bride following her soldier husband, the other her sister who signs up as a nurse to try and rescue her sister. It's a story of love, both romantic and sibling, against a backdrop of a vividly created historical setting, with an ending which is at once uplifting and heartbreaking I couldn't put it down." (Julia Williams)
"A galloping good story." (Natasha McEnroe, director of the Florence Nightingale Museum)

The Secrert Wife
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a great book right from the very beginning.
I thoroughly enjoy Historical Fiction and have read Romance books of the Russian Revolution & WWl slaughter of their people. It is a sad existence.

A great story
A wonderful intertwining of past and present. Follows the history of a romance between Russian princess and a soldier. Based on true events and mixed with just the right amount of fiction, this audible book will hold and keep your attention. The narrators do a good job of jumping from the past to the present. I recommend this book.

Liked a lot
Took a while for me to get my head into it at first, because I didn’t connect to the modern storyline as much as the older storyline. But once I did, I was hooked. Enjoyed having different voice actors for the modern/flashback portions. I always enjoy a historical “what if” story and this was excellent - well researched and interesting.
I didn’t really like the female voice actor’s attempt at male New Yorker accents but that’s my only complaint :)
