"In The Wild Princess, Mary Hart Perry spins a marvelous tale about the life of the real Princess Louise, Queen Victoria's most unconventional daughter-and the fascinating events that might have taken place between the cracks of recorded history.  Full of romance and suspense, The Wild Princess is the life Louise could have-should have-had.  Mary Hart Perry has created a masterly historical novel."  
Mary Jo Putney, New York Times bestselling author of No Longer a Gentleman, and Dark Destiny as M. J. Putney.

"Romantic, exciting, historically accurate and deliciously imaginative, Mary Hart Perry's THE WILD PRINCESS is a lush and entertaining read that truly delivers. Perry creates a fascinating portrait of Princess Louise -- artist, wild child and modern thinker caught in the confines of her mother's strict court -- and immerses the reader in a vivid Victorian setting. I devoured the book and I'm eager to read more about Victoria's daring daughters!"
Susan Fraser King, author of Lady Macbeth and Queen Hereafter
