Charlotte Russell

Charlotte Russell writes historical romance with a particular interest in Regency settings, social obligation, and couples whose loyalties pull them in opposing directions. She studied history at Notre Dame and brings that background to the manners, institutions, and political pressures surrounding her characters. His Diamond is the third novel in her His & Hers series. It reunites Lady Amelia Colvin with Lord James Danforth, a royal spy who left England and the possibility of marrying her three years earlier. Amelia is preparing for a practical marriage to a friend when James returns to pursue an assassin threatening the prime minister. Their earlier attachment becomes entangled with suspicion, duty, and Amelia’s engagement as the investigation develops. Russell builds the second-chance romance around two forms of fidelity: James’s service to his country and Amelia’s commitment to a friend. That structure allows the espionage plot and the emotional reconciliation to advance together, while the series setting connects their story to the wider Danforth family.
