ANGELINA'S SECRET is Revealed in New Book

HERALD, Calif.

Embarking on a perilous sea voyage, uncovering a secret her own family has concealed from her and encountering buccaneers out to pillage English vessels - these are but some of the exciting events Lady Angelina Marguerite Amelia Stewart had for her 19th birthday. In Diane Merrill Wigginton's tale of romance and adventure, readers will see how "Angelina's Secret" (published by Xlibris) changes her life, even as she dodges dangers and tries to live freely in a ruthless, male-dominated world.

Living in a time where women were valued for their beauty and titles but little else, Angelina was blessed with a quick mind and a sharp wit, which she uses liberally regardless of the consequences. Resolving never to be owned by any man, Angelina shuns societal rules to live life on her own terms. The path she forges by herself leads to the discovery of a family secret and a fateful meeting with Captain Jude Deveraux - a sophisticated, roguish pirate living a double life as a French nobleman.

Unexpected adventures ensue with much swashbuckling and passionate romance for the new lovers. Both of them find in each other a chance for a new life and a new beginning from the societies they have fled from - even as the things they are running away from inevitably close in on them and the secrets they have hidden from themselves and each other slowly return to the surface.

"Angelina's Secret" is a multilayered story of love, the human spirit and the risks and rewards of following one's dreams, woven into an intelligent and engaging narrative replete with twists and turns. Wigginton is currently working on the sequel to her first novel.
