ⓘ About Mary Lancaster
Mary Lancaster is a Scottish USA Today bestselling historical romance and fiction book author. She lives in Scotland with her husband and a small dog with a big personality. She fell in love reading historical fiction books, which she would later relish blending with adventure and romance in her own books. Some of Mary Lancaster’s books feature true historical characters such as medieval English outlaws, Hungarian revolutionaries, and a family of the rebellious royal Scots. The Deserted Heart is the first book in the Unmarriageable series by Mary Lancaster. We are introduced to Charlotte Maybury, a woman who used to be in the background. She is sandwiched in age between her two sisters, and her stammering and history of weakness make her a burden to her family.
