In English society, the rules of engagement have stood the test of time. Until a Reckless Bride falls in deeply, scandalously in love...

CAN AN INDECENT PROPOSAL

About the Author

Elizabeth Essex is the critically acclaimed author of historical novels including The Pursuit of Pleasure, A Sense of Sin and the RITA Award nominated The Danger of Desire. When not re-reading Jane Austen, sipping tea or mucking about her garden, Elizabeth can be found writing, making up wonderful stories about people who live far more interesting lives than she. It wasn’t always so. Elizabeth graduated from Hollins College with a BA in Classical Studies and Art History, and then earned her MA from Texas A&M University in Nautical Archaeology, also known as the archaeology of shipwrecks.

Editorial Reviews

“Elizabeth Essex is the best historical romance author you’re not reading. Fix that! If you like historical mysteries, heroines discovering their own agency, and heroes who have meaningful jobs and get them done, this is the book for you. Highly recommended.” All About Romance

“Essex…will not disappoint her readers. She reintroduces characters from previous Reckless Brides novels into this intriguing and sophisticated plot, the culmination of which will put readers on the edge of their seats.” RT Book Reviews 4 Stars

“Sexy, confident and exciting.” Fresh Fiction

“Do you ever read books that you love so much you wish they would never, ever end? I don't very often, but now I've just finished this one, provided by Netgalley, I want to just go straight back to the beginning and start all over again.

I absolutely loved this story. I loved the characters, I loved the detail, I loved, loved, loved the plot, I loved the canny use of historical accuracy, I loved the use of London.

I honestly can't think of a single thing which I didn't thoroughly enjoy about this great read. The writing alone puts practically all other historical romances to shame. It flows beautifully, and there is some wonderful use of vocabulary, while also making it easy and pleasant to read. 5 stars.” Goodreads, Reader Review
