False Angel

About This Book

The lovely Lady Leonora Talwin had heard all the stories about the rakish Marquess of Severne and vowed never to become one of his victims. But she knew far too little about her own heart to daunt this lord who feasted on feminine frailties — or so she assumed.

False Angel is a Regency romance pairing a woman who believes herself immune to charm with a man who has made charm his primary instrument. The pleasure of the novel is watching Leonora's certainty dissolve incrementally, and Severne's realization that the woman he intended to make a conquest of has become something altogether more serious. For readers of cat-and-mouse Regency romance and stories with sharp, witty heroines.

She began writing at the age of ten and published more than thirty novels, known for their intelligence, wit, and the quality of her male characters — fully realized, interesting people rather than mere romantic props.
