The Queen of the Valley: A Spellbinding Historical Novel Based on True History
Lorena Hughes
I was captivated by the cover of THE QUEEN OF THE VALLEY by Lorena Hughes, and when I saw that it was the sequel to THE SPANISH DAUGHTER, I was completely sold. Set in Columbia in 1925 and featuring a Ecuadorian chocolatier, what’s not to love? #ewgc @KensingtonBooks https://t.co/lbOs7vr9Sk
