From the ashes of humiliation, can true love bloom? When dashing and audacious Lord Severn takes pleasure to its extremes, he leaves behind a wake of broken hearts and regrets. His most notorious act? Deceiving the sweet Primula Greetwell into a false marriage, and audaciously leaving her at her parents' threshold with nothing but a mocking bow and laughter. Such antics cannot continue unchecked. It's time for the infamous rake to face the music. Banished for a decade to India and yearning to return to England, Lord Severn's father presents his wayward son with a daunting ultimatum. Either marry the woman of his choosing, sight unseen, or be permanently exiled, stripped of family, title, and fortune. Lord Severn, albeit reluctantly, agrees to wed. Little does he realize that his chosen bride is none other than the previously scorned Primula, who accepts this pact with motivations of her own. As they navigate this precarious union, Primula is strictly advised to feign ignorance of their shared past. This leaves Severn perplexed by her calm demeanor, igniting a fresh intrigue between them. Yet, complications arise in the form of Severn's young nephew, who idolizes the rakish ways of his uncle and encounters another innocent teetering on the brink of society's ruin. Dive into a world of high society, hidden motives, and unexpected relationships. In this tale of redemption, passion, and schemes, will a match that seems doomed from the start pave the way for unforeseen love and understanding?

Autorenporträt
She was born long enough ago to have seen Classic Trek on its first outing and to remember that she once thought Spock Must Die! to be great literature. As she aged, she put aside her fond dreams of taking over for Batman when he retired, and returned to her first love, writing. Her first SF sale (as Eluki Bes Shahar) was the Hellflower series, in which Damon Runyon meets Doc Smith over at the old Bester place. Between books and short stories in every genre but the Western (several dozen so far), she's held the usual selection of odd and part-time writer jobs, including bookstore clerk, secretary, beta tester for computer software, graphic designer, book illustrator, library clerk, and administrative assistant for a non-profit arts organization. She can truthfully state that she once killed vampires for a living, and that without any knowledge of medicine has illustrated half-a-dozen medical textbooks.
