Lady Scandal — Marcy Stewart

To save her reputation, she entered a daring charade...

SHE WAS A MASTER AT FOOLING THE TON....NOW, SHE WOULD HAVE TO DECEIVE AN EQUALLY CUNNING ROGUE!

Who is Lady Scandal? Whispers abound in Bath over the identity of the mysterious new playwright in town. Rumor has it that the author, whose witty pen parodies the foibles of well-known Society members, is herself a lady. And it's unthinkable that a gentlewoman should earn her living -- especially in such an unconventional way. Yet Gwendolyn Devane will risk anything to provide for her daughter... anything... except marriage, of course. After her disastrous experiences with the male species, the beautiful widow prefers to gamble her reputation rather than her heart. But her determination falters when a handsome stranger comes to her with a proposition....

Glassmaker Sir Maxim Hastings has only one thing on his mind -- to recover the missing formula that will restore his family's fortune and honor. When he asks Gwendolyn to help him, she knows she should refuse, but she reckons this is the only solution to keep the dashing nobleman out of her affairs. Now, neither Maxim nor Gwendolyn is ready for the havoc their carefully devised scheme will create... especially when they find themselves falling in love...!
