Lady Rose's Secret
Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này
Ashley Delacroix, Viscount Rampton is practised at resisting the lures of scheming debutantes to get him to the altar, which is why he only consorts with beautiful widows and willing matrons.
When irresistible Lady Chesterfield indicates she’s prepared to barter her wares for the short time she’s in England in return for not calling in a ticklish debt, Rampton eagerly sets up the perfect seduction.
But Lady Chesterfield is not what she seems and Rampton’s anger at being honour-bound to offer her matrimony is equalled only by his anger at the lengths to which Miss Chesterfield will go not to marry him.
Rose, now married to the man who’s enthralled her from the moment she arrived in London, is determined to prove her worth to her new husband.
But her beautiful, scheming sister-in-law Helena – the real Lady Chesterfield – is furious that Rose has ruined her plans for happiness a second time.
She’s intent on orchestrating the perfect poetic justice she believes Rose deserves.
And a husband full of mistrust with a penchant for beautiful matrons is just the tool for revenge she needs.
Previously published as A Little Deception and shortlisted for an Australian Romance Readers' Award.

Giới thiệu tác giả
Beverley was seventeen when she bundled up her first 500+ page romance and sent it to a publisher. Rejection followed swiftly. Drowning one’s heroine on the last page, she was informed, was not in line with the expectations of romance readers.
So Beverley became a journalist.
After a whirlwind romance with a handsome Norwegian bush pilot she met in Botswana's beautiful Okavango Delta, Beverley discovered what real romance was all about, saved her heroine from a watery grave in her next manuscript and published her first romance in 2009.
Since then, she’s written more than twenty-five sizzling historical romances laced with mystery and intrigue.
She also writes psychological historical mysteries, and Colonial-Africa-set romantic suspense, as Beverley Eikli.
With an inspiring view of a Gothic nineteenth-century insane asylum across the road, Beverley lives north of Melbourne with her gorgeous husband, two lovely daughters and a rambunctious Rhodesian Ridgeback called Mombo, named after the safari lodge where she and her husband met.
