His Mistress By Morning

August 1, 2006
Charlotte Wilmont is hopelessly in love with Sebastian Marlowe, but the handsome nobleman can't even remember her name. Instead, Sebastian seems destined to wed the annoyingly perfect and incredibly wealthy Lavinia Burke. Then one night while wearing a ring she had recently inherited from her great-aunt Ursula, Charlotte falls asleep desperately wishing that she could be the woman Sebastian loves. Much to Charlotte's surprise, when she awakes the next morning, she is in a strange bed with Sebastian, who now seems to be passionately in love with her. Charlotte also discovers that she is no longer shy, spinsterish Charlotte Wilmont but "Lottie Townsend," London's most celebrated courtesan and Sebastian's mistress! RITA Award winner Boyle sprinkles a soupcon of magic into her latest witty and sensual historical Regency, and the result is nothing short of brilliant: a delectable combination of fabulously original characters, laughter-laced writing, and a splendidly sexy love story.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2006, American Library Association.)
