Kittys Reader Notes & Book Excerpt

"'You steal hearts and you have stolen mine completely.' If Zenka's forthcoming marriage had promised love and not hatred, how could she have allowed a thief to kiss her - even to spite the King! After the Golden Jubilee celebrations, Zenka is told by Queen Victoria, her relative, that she is to marry King Miklos of Karanya. Furious at being forced to marry a man she did not know, Zenka determined to make his life a hell on earth..."


In this enchanting novel, set against the backdrop of a regal court, you will encounter Zenka, a woman whose fiery spirit matches her unruly red hair. Known as the Hell Cat, Zenka possesses a fierce independence that both intimidates and intrigues those around her. However, fate takes an unexpected turn when she becomes entangled with the enigmatic King Miklos of Karanya.

King Miklos a ruler burdened by duty and tradition, finds himself captivated by Zenka's undeniable charm and defiance. As their lives intertwine, sparks fly and the boundaries of love and loyalty are tested. Together, they embark on a passionate journey that will challenge the constraints of society and their own hearts.

In the mountains of central Europe her feelings were to lead Zenka into unforeseen dangers before the King's insistent lips brought a happiness she thought she would never know...

Embrace the allure of vintage romance with "The Hell Cat and the King" and experience the magic of romance in a way that only Barbara Cartland could create.
