Leonara Carling doesn't care to marry - even
at the old maid age of twenty-six. Tristan Wemyss, the Earl of
Trentham, must wed within one year to retain his inheritance. What is a woman to do when a
man simply won't take "no" for an answer? Why, she
dissuades him, of course!
THE LADY CHOSEN is a warm and witty novel
which not only Regency fans will love, but also those who enjoy a touch of mystery with
their historical romance. Leonora is a strong heroine, a woman who won't take
"no" for an answer and who believes that independence is the only option she
has. Why marry a man who will lock her away in a drafty castle?
Yet, when Tristan comes along and falls head over heels in love with her, she can't but
feel attracted to him in a way she has never allowed herself to truly feel before.
Ms. Laurens' novel is one of the best novels
I've read this year, richly detailed with true-to-life characters drawn into an exorable
game of lust, love, and mystery. Leonora is willingly swept into
a drama which will change her future and initiated into womanhood by a hero who is
determined to make her his own. Don't miss out on THE LADY
CHOSEN, get your copy today.
