"Another great book that I enjoyed through Harlequin Historicals. I had forgotten why I love them so much. They are such a quick read and have the spicy romance that I love to read."

About Louise Allen
Louise Allen is the author of over sixty historical romances and also of time-slip historical mystery romances, historical mysteries, and nonfiction. The Regency is her passion, an endlessly fascinating era full of contrast and change, danger and elegance, luxury and squalor. Women had freedoms that would shock their Victorian granddaughters, yet lived within social codes that both intrigue and appall us now. Men in society could win fortunes at the turn of a card and lose their lives in the hazard of a duel all in the space of twenty-four hours. It is all so different, with the glamour of the past gilding it—and yet the characters seem to reach out and touch us now.
