5 Things You Should Know About Lord Shallow
1. One early plot element may be a dealbreaker for many romance writers. I’ll
keep it secret here, but it’s key to Sebastian’s character. This hero is
complicated—but honorable—which makes a romance between him and my heroine,
Gwynna, seemingly impossible. (Not to worry!)
2. The Welsh island of Anglesey
is the backdrop for much of this book. It’s an enchanting place. I stood at the
edge of a cliff jutting out into the sea, mesmerized by the fluffy white clouds
reflecting off sun-dappled waves as far as I could see. The photo I took that
day is the background of the Lord Shallow
cover.
3. Sebastian and Gwynna spend a rainy night on the island in a Neolithic
tomb. It’s a real place, similar to Newgrange in Ireland,
only not overrun by tourists. I was surprised to find that getting to this
historical treasure was a simple matter of walking up a country road, through a
grove of trees and onto farmland, where the ancient barrow takes shape like a
sleeping giant awakening.
4. I got a little carried away with this book. The themes grew bigger and
the chapters longer. Perhaps it was because much about the people who built
those tombs and mysterious stone circles remains lost to prehistory. That, and
the fascinating Welsh legends and tales, made it hard to stop writing. But I
forced myself to cut 12,000 words from my original draft—thank goodness.
5. There’s an older couple romance! I’ve been playing with this theme in a
few of my books, but in Lord Shallow
their romance is integral. Angus, 55, is the stoic Scot who raised Sebastian
after his parents died. Hannah, eight years younger, possesses a steely
disposition born of a challenging life. Angus must turn his long-futile hopes
into action, and Hannah must find a way to let him in past that hard shell.

Author: Eileen Putman
Publisher: Anglesey Press
Pages: 364
Genre: Regency Historical Romance
BOOK BLURB:
Gwynna Owen might be the last true Princess of Wales, but she needs this very English duke to claim her legacy and vanquish a tyrant. When Sebastian quickly sees through her boy’s disguise, she must plead her case with only a rusty dagger—and sapphire eyes that conjure what he most wishes to avoid.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: One early surprise may be a deal breaker for some romance fans. If you’re looking for classic Regency historical that fits a formula, Lord Shallow may not be your cup of tea. Yet character will out. Here you’ll find a man who is so much more than he seems and a woman who’s finding her voice after years of having it suppressed. Their struggle as they make their way to one another is this story’s truth.
About Maitland’s Rogues: Andrew Maitland’s group of daring English rogues risk all for their country. Hardened and deadly, they have no use for love—until it ensnares them…
