Regency Romance DESC Book
She must choose... choose to seek a "suitable" position as governess or take the most outrageous risk of her young life. For beautiful, high-spirited Julia Swanton, the next step was clear. She must conceal her father's death, her near penniless state, and plunge into the Season with one object: a wealthy marriage! That decided, she would return to London to delight Beau Brummel, charm the Prince Regent, and dazzle Lord Garde, the wealthy libertine who had already shown an interest. Apart from her jealous sister, only one person could undo her: the handsome Frenchman who had his secrets and knew hers. They had made a cold bargain, but could Julia keep it? Could her icy resolve falter, melted by passion? By love? Fine, but paper age-toned Book
