Susanne Dunlap: The Dressmaker's Secret Earl, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A marriage of convenience to a scoundrel? Not if Augusta can help it. The impoverished daughter of a baronet, Augusta has no intention of being bartered away like a prize horse. Instead, she flees to London, determined to forge her own path as a modiste. But fate has other plans. On her very first day in the city, she crosses paths with a brooding earl-one burdened with a clubfoot and a reputation nearly as scandalous as the proposal she ran from. His captivating sister, Mariana, is not only Augusta's employer's best client but harbors a secret ambition of her own: to marry the one man society deems wholly unsuitable. Drawn into Mariana's reckless schemes of masquerades, cross-dressing, and Whig intrigue, Augusta soon finds herself entangled in more than just scandal-she's losing her heart to a man who embodies everything she swore to escape. But the earl has secrets of his own. Is he truly the rogue society believes him to be? And when Augusta's past comes calling, will her newfound independence-and her heart-survive?
