It's like a Cinderella - type story set in a historical context. And 'The Secret History of the Pink Carnation' is really fun. It combines history and romance with a bit of espionage.
One that stands out is 'Scarlett' which is a sequel to 'Gone with the Wind'. It continues the story of Scarlett O'Hara and her search for love and a new life. 'The Bronze Horseman' is set during World War II in Russia and has a very passionate love story. And 'The Tea Rose' is a great historical romance set in Victorian London, with a strong - willed heroine and a great love story.
