Kate Tremayne is a British novelist from East Tilbury in Essex.
She is best known as the creator of the Loveday series of novels, about a family living in 18th century rural England during the time of the French Revolution. Billed as a Cornish family saga, most of its books contain also sections set in France, London, America and Australia. The series incudes 11 titles: Adam Loveday (1999), [1] [2] The Loveday Fortunes (2000), The Loveday Trials (2001), The Loveday Scandals (2003), The Loveday Honour (2004), The Loveday Pride (2005), [3] The Loveday Loyalty (2006), The Loveday Revenge (2007), [4] The Loveday Secrets (2008), [5] The Loveday Conspiracy (2009), and The Loveday Vendetta (2010).
While generally categorised as period romance novels, the Loveday books cover a broad spectrum of subjects including betrayal, crime, family rivalry, adventure, sacrifice, class discrimination and domestic abuse.[ citation needed ]
