Coach and Four: Allisandra's Tale

By Linore Rose Burkard

Can conspiracy and betrayal lead to unexpected love?
Nineteen year-old Lady Allisandra is a ward of King Charles II. Mysteriously ordered from court to stay with her old friend the Duchess of Langley, Allisandra finds herself trapped inside a coach-and-four with the notorious rake Lord Dorchester. Has the duchess betrayed her? Perhaps, but things are not as they appear, and whether it is Her Grace, the infamous Earl of Dorchester or the king himself bent on evil, only time will tell. In the meantime, how does a virtuous young woman handle first a highwayman, then a debauched earl? Find out in this rousing tale of the late 1600s in England!

Note: This is a 15,000+ word short story.
