#1 New York Times–bestselling author: “
Nobody does Victorian romance hijinks like Alexander . . . Fabulously snappy banter, and a soupçon of sex.” —Publishers Weekly
Delilah, the very proper widowed Lady Hargate, and Mr. Samuel Russell, previously acquainted during one unforgettable night in New York City when caution—and clothing—were thrown to the wind, will choose to pretend they have never met before when they wind up at the same wedding months later in England.
The lady plans to avoid love and its complications at all costs. The gentleman intends to change her mind.
Guests are invited to enjoy the many diversions of Millworth Manor as Delilah’s sister and Samuel’s friend are joined in matrimony—delightful grounds, lavish drawing rooms, secluded corners—and for Delilah and Samuel, the chance to discover that one night may have been only the beginning . . .
“Sparkling dialogue and endearing characters make this an enthralling read.” —Sabrina Jeffries,
New York Times–bestselling author
“Alexander’s latest wickedly funny historical romance is the perfect synthesis of love and laughter.” —

A propos de l’auteur
New York Times bestselling author Victoria Alexander was an award-winning television reporter until she discovered fiction was much more fun than real life. She turned to writing full time and has never looked back. Victoria grew up traveling the country as an Air Force brat and is now settled in a very old house in Omaha, Nebraska, with her husband, two allegedly grown children and two bearded collies. She firmly believes housework is a four-letter word, there are no calories in anything eaten standing up, procrastination is an art form, and it’s never too soon to panic.
