Something Sinful

August 1, 2006
Stereotyping can get a person into trouble, but Shay Griffin, Lord Charlemagne, doesn't realize how much until he flirts with an exotic beauty at a ball. Assuming Lady Sarala Anne Carlisle, daughter of the new Marquis of Hanover, is just another British society belle, Shay tries to impress her by bragging about a shipment of silk he is about to buy dirt cheap the next day. Sarala, a clever, successful businesswoman in her beloved India, beats him to the docks, the silk, and a sizable profit. Fate weaves the couple together with a silken cord of danger, intrigue, misfortune, and, eventually, romance. Enoch ventured into the world of contemporary romantic suspense with the successful novels " Flirting with Danger" (2005) and " Don't Look Down" (2006). Now, she returns to her delightful series of historical Regencies featuring the Griffin family, following " Sin and Sensibility" (2004) and " An Invitation to Sin" (2005) with this entertaining tale.
