The Lily of Ludgate Hill

An exciting voice in the historical romance market - Mimi mixes the steaminess of Jilly Cooper with the feminism of BRIDGERTON Fortune favours the bold. But is Lady Anne daring enough to accept a favour from a wicked gentleman? Lady Anne Deveril is a woman known for her glacial beauty and starchy opinions. She has voluntarily renounced any fanciful notions of love and marriage. And yet, when fate puts Anne back into the entirely too enticing path of Mr. Felix Hartford, she's tempted to run...right into his arms. No one understands why Anne withdrew into the shadows of society, Hart least of all. The youthful torch he once held for her has long since cooled. Or so he keeps telling himself. But now Anne needs a favour. Hart will play along with her little ruse - on the condition that Anne attends his grandfather's country estate. No more mourning clothes. No more barriers. Only the two of them, unrequited feelings finally laid bare. Finally free to gallop out on her own, Anne makes the tantalizing discovery that beneath the roguish exterior is a man with hidden depths, scorching passions - and a tender heart. Perfect for fans of Julia Quinn, Jilly Cooper and Julian Fellowes.
