Description
Lady Iphigenia Brierley is trapped by a poverty that she must conceal from the beau monde. She lives on the fringes of society, satisfying her hunger at the ton parties to which she is invited and gambling to obtain money for clothing. The Marquess of Wessington is wealthy beyond her imagining, and has a respected and admired place in society. His return to London from travels abroad coincides with a time of crisis in her pitiable family. He offers himself first as her friend, then as her rescuer. Finally, he asks for her hand in marriage. But the question to which Genia requires an answer is...why?

About the author(s)
Lesley-Anne McLeod is a devoted Anglophile. After years of bookselling and non-fiction writing it was natural that when she turned to writing fiction, she would write historical romances set in England. Lesley-Anne has written thirteen full-length Regency-set romances (two of which dabble in time travel), six novellas and a book of Regency short stories. All are available as ebooks; the book of short stories is also available in print. Lesley-Anne has an extensive research library and loves investigating historical details. She blogs monthly on topics relating to the early 19th century. An avid reader of contemporary and historical fiction, Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer are her particular idols. When she is not writing, researching, or reading, Lesley-Anne is gardening or sewing, all in the company of her two cats.
