I’m so happy that Anne’s story, The Lady And The Man Of Fortune: A Wicked Secret, is finally here. It’s the third novel in the traditional Regency romance series, The Eardleys of Gostwicke Hall.
Here’s the description.
The Lady And The Man Of Fortune: A Wicked Secret (Eardleys 3)
A lord who finds love for the first time, and a lady with a secret…
Although he's a prize on the Marriage Mart, wealthy and twice-widowed Lord Delmere thinks that nothing could ever tempt him to marry again. Until he meets the lovely Lady Kingston.
Her wicked secret is about to be discovered…
Anne, Lady Kingston, has no intention of marrying again. Not only was her first marriage disastrous, but she’s constantly hounded by men attracted to her beauty and wealth. One of those men lives next door, and spies on her.
As the head of her family, Anne is sponsoring her niece Eva in her first season.
Tall, thin, and plain, Eva has the social skills of a block of wood. But Anne understands the illusions that money can create. With the ton’s top friseur, elegant clothes, and a healthy dowery, Anne knows that she has the ability to weave a web of glamour around Eva. If only Eva would cooperate…
Eva is an expert at camouflaging her feelings, so Anne doesn’t know that Eva is in love with a most unsuitable man. Eva will do what she must to marry her lover, and that includes ferreting out her aunt’s secrets. Cunning and ruthless, Eva’s convinced that if she can learn what her aunt is hiding she will get what she wants.
Lord Delmere is determined to convince Anne that he’s the man for her…
Anne is equally determined to retain her independence — and keep her secret. Who will win?
