Scandal Becomes Her - Couverture souple

From one of the most beloved voices in romance comes a lush new novel of a chance meeting, a forced marriage-and the surprise of a love so passionate it cannot be denied. Set against the backdrop of Regency London and the English countryside, New York Times bestselling author Shirlee Busbee's return to historical romance is a triumph readers will treasure. Love Is Sweetest When It's Unexpected Nell Anslowe and Julian, Earl of Wyndham, are an unlikely couple in every respect. Injured in a riding accident ten years ago, Nell was left with a fiance who abandoned their engagement, a slight limp, terrifying nightmares, and the firm belief that she will never marry. The abrupt end of Julian's unhappy marriage formed his resolve to remain a bachelor until the end of his days. But as Julian chases down his reckless stepsister, he seeks shelter from a summer storm in a cottage-and finds it occupied by Nell, who has escaped from a fortune-seeking libertine bent on carrying her off to Gretna Green. Discovered together by Nell's family, the couple's hasty wedding is the only way to save Nell from scandal-but the polite union each of them expects blossoms into something much more powerful . . . Busbee's sweeping new novel delves into the souls of a man and a woman too wounded to believe in love-and too passionate to deny the truth in their hearts.
