Novels Set in 1807

Coulter, Catherine. The Heiress Bride. NY: Jove, 1996. [3rd in Coulter's Bride series]
This is an interesting blend of fairy tale, realism, and Gothic novel. The sexual difficulties of the young couple make up a key aspect of the plot. Their problems begin as rather interesting realism but soon become rather improbable.

Feather, Jane. Velvet. NY: Bantam Books, 1994.

Quinn, Julia. Everything and the Moon. NY: Avon, 1997.

Seger, Maura. The Lady and the Laird. Harlequin Historical 127. Toronto: Harlequin, 1992.
