The Duchess's Tattoo: Thoughts on THE AMERICAN HEIRESS

In "The Duchess's Tattoo", Cora Cash is desperate to be a fashionable lady of society. Despite her title and her wealth, she finds that English society is not that welcoming to "The American Duchess." When Cora spies a distinctive snake tattoo on her mother-in-law's wrist, she decides that she must have one as well.

It is up to the talented tattoo artist to save "The American Duchess" from herself.

In addition to the short story, "The Duchess's Tattoo", this also contains a letter from the author, Daisy Goodwin, on writing The American Heiress, an excerpt from "Titled Americans", an authentic quarterly publication from 1890 which listed all of the eligible titled bachelors still on the market, and an excerpt from The American Heiress, a moving and brilliantly entertaining debut novel coming from St. Martin's Press in June.
