Hi friend!

If you’re curious about the sources I used while writing A Siege on Her Heart, you can find them below. These sources will cover a variety of topics from the sacking of San Sebastian to pregnancy during the Regency era to Regency Christmas traditions. 

Enjoy! And please reach out if you have any questions.

Thanks and happy reading,

Jessica
