A marriage of convenience to a scoundrel? Not if Augusta can help it. The impoverished daughter of a baronet, Augusta has no intention of being bartered away like a prize horse. Instead, she flees to London, determined to forge her own path as a modiste. But fate has other plans. On her very first day in the city, she crosses paths with a brooding earl-one burdened with a clubfoot and a reputation nearly as scandalous as the proposal she ran from. His captivating sister, Mariana, is not only Augusta's employer's best client but harbors a secret ambition of her own: to marry the one man society deems wholly unsuitable. Drawn into Mariana's reckless schemes of masquerades, cross-dressing, and Whig intrigue, Augusta soon finds herself entangled in more than just scandal-she's losing her heart to a man who embodies everything she swore to escape. But the earl has secrets of his own. Is he truly the rogue society believes him to be? And when Augusta's past comes calling, will her newfound independence-and her heart-survive?

Autorenporträt
I am the award-winning author of over a dozen historical novels set in a variety periods, all featuring strong women. For material, I have roamed through history from the middle ages in Southern France (The Orphans of Tolosa Trilogy) to Russia during the Revolution (Anastasia's Secret), passing through the court of Louis XIV, the French Revolution, Romantic era Paris, the Crimea, and early 20th century New York. I have a PhD in Music History from Yale-the spur that set me onto my career as a historical novelist. My love of Regency Romance has been lying in wait for me for decades, and I've finally succumbed to the lure of this captivating genre. This book is the first in a series of stand-alone novels called Double-Dilemma Romance. In addition to being a writer, I am certified as a book coach in fiction, nonfiction, and memoir by Author Accelerator, working 1:1 with many remarkable writers. I also teach workshops, and have lovingly built several online self-paced courses for writers, the most recent of which is The Heart of Historical Romance. You can find more information about my books and about working with me on my website, Susanne-dunlap.com.
