REVIEW FROM BOOKS FOR HER:

First published in 1988 under her pen name, Shannon Drake, Ondine is now being re-released as Heather Graham. A play on the mythological tale of a mermaid given life by a man, this Ondine is a real-life 17th century duchess in hiding, saved from the gallows by a passing nobleman who has reasons of his own for taking a bride. This is stock entertaining historical romance novel, with a massive twisty plot, miles of dialogue, and, I must say, a somewhat excessive use of the exclamation point.

Available November 29th: Ondine
