The Lady's Guide to Scandal: a 'fake engagement' historical romance

by Emmanuelle De Maupassant

Overview

A fake engagement with a notorious rogue?
How desperate does a woman have to be?

Taking him into her bed certainly isn't part of the plan. 
But this rogue is simply too irresistible, and Cornelia's name is already mired in scandal. 
What does she have to lose...?

Celebrated explorer Ethan Burnell has all the ladies swooning, but he's exactly the sort of 'dangerous man' Cornelia has sworn off.

When Burnell's sister throws a Christmas house-party, intent on fixing him up with a bride, he sees only one way out.
A fake engagement for the duration of the festivities!

Cornelia knows she's crazy to agree to the plan, but has faith Ethan's "adoration" will bring other suitors running.

Can she put up with his cocky ways (without wringing his neck?)

The game is on!



What to expect: A bluestocking heroine who meets her match, a fake engagement, and a Christmas party that changes everything.

Editorial Reviews

Joining Ethan and Cornelia in their holiday romp are a cast of delightful friends and family.
The Everly sisters, Cornelia's aunts are hilarious flirts and matchmakers.
Lady Pippsbury's self-concocted vocabulary is laugh-out-loud funny.

The organized chaos of the party is the perfect setting for Ethan and Cornelia to begin their journey to happy ever after.

Lovely story, charming characters, a great read.

The scene with Minnie and the toupée....omigosh, I'm still giggling!! This was such a wonderful and fun story to read. I loved the main characters, Ethan and Cornelia, as well as her two aunts, what a hoot they are!!

I always enjoy this author's stories and this one doesn't disappoint.

I loved the banter between them and this fake romance... the fact there was a bit of mystery with some sweet steam.

Part of this book will have you laughing out loud.
I adore the author's style of writing.
