The Worst Woman in London (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781454954484)

A Bridgerton-inspired humorous Victorian romance featuring a defiant heroine who fights to escape a bad marriage, while her love for a forbidden man jeopardizes her chance at freedom.

James Standish knows how to play society's game. He'll follow the rules--marry a virginal debutante and inherit a massive fortune. At least, that's the plan until he meets Francesca Thorne. She's not the sort of woman a respectable gentleman like James could ever marry--not least because, strictly speaking, she's married already to James's friend Edward. Francesca is determined to flout convention and divorce her philandering husband. When James sweet-talks his way into her life--tasked with convincing Francesca to abandon her dream of freedom--she's unprepared for the passion that flares between them.
Torn apart by conflicting desires, James and Francesca must choose whether to keep chasing the lives they've always wanted or to take a chance on a new and forbidden love.

"The Worst Woman in London is the kind of historical novel I've been dying to read."--The New York Times
