Christina McKnight

Christina McKnight writes Regency romance centered on resilient women and unconventional aristocratic heroes. Adeline is the third Lady Archer's Creed novel, following Theodora and Georgina and preceding Josephine. Miss Adeline Price belongs to a friendship formed through archery and guided by loyalty, honor, and mutual support. A broken carriage brings her to Jasper Benedict, the scarred Earl of Ailesbury, in a variation on the Beauty and the Beast pattern. McKnight's official bibliography places the series beside her Lady Forsaken, Craven House, and Undaunted Debutantes books. Her fiction repeatedly uses the social restrictions of Regency England to test trust, reputation, and the bonds among women.
