Summary

'A witty, wonderful new voice in historical romance.'*

Michael Rafferty is an agent for the Crown, on the trail of a conspirator championing Irish independence through acts of violence. The trail leads to Washington, D.C., where Rafferty must assume the role of a diplomat in order to set a trap for the villain. To complete the pretense, he'll need to transform his coarse image and find someone to portray his wife.

Lady Arianne Chambers, sister to a duke and well versed in high-society circles, reluctantly agrees to assist Rafferty's charade. She'll teach him the finer points of being a gentleman, but she has no desire for a husband. Yet the honorable and passionate man hidden beneath rough edges finds his way into her heart. Can she trust her secrets-and her future-to such a seductive rogue?

Praise for The Education of Mrs. Brimley

'Be ready to laugh and cry. I can't wait for other books from this author.'

Publisher's Weekly Review

Irish rebellion, smuggled guns, and the assassination of American president James Garfield form a lively backdrop for this sweet, sexy, and smartly told Victorian romance. Lady Arianne Chambers is called "Cupid's Mistress" for her matchmaking prowess, but when Michael Rafferty hears the nickname, he assumes its origin lies in more salacious arenas. Such a rocky beginning doesn't lead to smooth sailing, particularly when the pair wind up on a diplomatic mission to America, with Arianne posing as Rafferty's wife to further his position as the head British representative stationed in Washington, D.C. Arianne's self-doubts, caused by familial circumstances and her past history with men, are balanced by her strength of will, while Rafferty is charming and manly. Readers will hope for an equally enticing sequel starring Rafferty's companion, stage magician Phineas Connor. (Aug.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
