A Scandalous Countess

February 15, 2012

Targeted by undeserved, jealousy-fueled gossip when her husband is killed in a duel, the beautiful, flirtatious Georgia, Countess of Maybury, is intent on reclaiming her reputation and place in the ton. She's also helping scarred former naval officer and new baron Lord Dracy acquire a bit of town bronze, unaware that her father is using her to settle a debt. But even after Georgia's year of mourning, the insidious rumors refuse to die. Dracy then goes on the hunt and finds something further reaching and deadlier than just a spiteful attempt at social ruination. VERDICT A courageous, irrepressible heroine and a strong, uncommonly appealing hero come together brilliantly in another sinfully delectable Georgian romp from Beverley's (An Unlikely Countess) flawless pen. The ever-popular author lives in Canada.
