The Silken Knot
Three Sisters, Book #2
by Liz Harris
The Silken Knot is Iris’s story.
Dinan, 1947
Out of options, Iris Hammond makes the difficult decision to marry Pierre Rousseau, a man she’d never met until they stood together in front of the priest. Pierre, too, has his reasons for marrying Iris, a woman he doesn’t know.
Taken by Pierre from Jersey to his close-knit community in Brittany, France, Iris faces him at the end of the first day of a marriage she hadn’t wanted, and determines that, nevertheless, she will make their marriage a success.
Unsuspected by either Iris or Pierre, Marcel Pascal, the brother of Pierre’s late wife, and Elodie Vidal, Pierre’s shop assistant, each have a hidden agenda for wanting to destroy Pierre’s marriage as soon as they possibly can, and to see him alone and unhappy.
With Iris and Pierre completely unaware of the underhand scheming by people they think of as friends, Marcel and Elodie’s cruel plans stand a very good chance of bearing fruit.
Praise for The Silken Knot:
"I really enjoyed reading The Silken Knot. I found the romantic story of Iris and Pierre interesting especially with the backdrop of historical content."

I love the stars surrounding the cover design in the Book of the Month presentation! I'm absolutely thrilled to see The Silken Knot appear as book of the month. I loved my research trip to Dinan, Brittany, and I loved every minute of writing the novel that is set there. It was quite a wrench when I came to the end of the book to say goodbye to Iris, Pierre, Marcel and Elodie. I hope readers enjoy reading the novel as much as I enjoyed writing it. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Liz. I'm delighted you love the banner. And your research trip sounds fascinating. Brittany is the perfect setting for a great story. xx
