But at twenty-five, Jane remains unmarried--and the rumors of Roger's liaison with the immodest Lady Horton have spread like wildfire. While out riding, she discovers her betrothed in a tryst among the flowers--and need not see the face of his lover to recognize the unlaced corset of Lady Horton.

But suddenly, Roger proposes--and though Jane is now assured of the husband she desires, Lady Horton's challenge threatens to destroy her fragile future with Roger before it begins. And even if she has never known the fiery passions of desire fulfilled, she knows she must lure Roger away from this wanton woman-if her tender love is to bloom. Book

Between 1788 and 1820, under the reckless influence of the fat, promiscuous Prince Regent, the English aristocracy set a standard of elegance and vulgarity that has not been surpassed. Venetia Murray chronicles the daily life of that glittering circle of rakes and dandies, duchesses and courtesans, pugilists and patrons, whose scandalous conduct will entertain readers of social history and Regency romances alike, plus the new generation of Jane Austen addicts. Against a backdrop of artistic triumphs and industrial progress, working-class riots and the twenty-year war with France, Venetia Murray's sparking narrative is lavishly illustrated through rare contemporary cartoons, prints, diaries, and caricatures--some newly discovered and never before reproduced. "An Elegant Madness" is a book of airy delights and surprising depths that reveals a fabled age in all of its varied splendor. xvii, 316 p.28 b/w plates bibliography, index Bookplate on ffep else Near Fine Book

Silently Louisa swore she'd make Lord Windlow regret that compromise! Ex-Library
