For all the fans who asked, it's all here…
This special edition brings together two of Lucinda Brant's best-loved books, SALT BRIDE and its sequel SALT REDUX. These books have sold nearly half a million copies and averaged over 4.4 stars from thousands of combined bookseller ratings and reviews worldwide.

THE SALT HENDON COLLECTION is a great introduction to Lucinda Brant's richly romantic and authentic 18th century world.
