In addition, a mystery subplot-concerning what might have happened to Aladdin's Lamp had the Knights Templar brought it back to England during the realm of Edward I-is intermixed with the love story. Helen's powerful discipline not only engenders great enjoyment for her and Lord Beecham in the bedroom, but in less steamy situations provides levity for the reader. At first, Helen would rather have Spenser as her partner than her lover, but she soon changes her mind. But his resolve wavers when he meets Helen, an inn-keeper who enchants every man she meets. A libertine, Spenser has vowed that he won't marry and produce an heir until just before he's ready to meet his maker. Set in Regency England (though not a Regency romance), Coulter's latest historical novel describes, with delectable humor and sexuality, the romance between the beautiful Lady Helen and the Spenser Heatherington, Lord Beecham.
