Mostly A Lady

Mostly Trilogy #3

by Lisa Manuel

To save her life, Eliza Kent dons the fine gowns and jewels of a great lady—but to her chagrin, her masquerade succeeds too well. Dylan Fergusson, an undeniably compelling man, offers her his assistance and escorts her to the home of his sister, a duchess. Eliza is sure that the duchess will notice her every mistake and discover her true identity before long. But Eliza cannot conceal her feelings—for she is falling in love with Dylan.

Every moment Dylan spends in Eliza's presence persuades him that he has found the very woman he has longed for all his life. Her aloofness intrigues him, but he cannot persuade her to come into his arms if she insists upon keeping her distance. Stealing a kiss may be impossible—until the lady says yes at last.

Now she enjoys a busy life in the warmth of the South Florida sunshine with her husband of more than twenty-five years and their two wonderful and very talented daughters. But, she and her family love to travel, especially throughout the British Isles and Ireland, and she's never happier than when exploring historic sites such as castle ruins, ancient abbeys, or the rambling gardens of old country manors.

Lisa Manuel, now also writes as Allison Chase. She is a member of the RWA and the Florida Romance Writers, and in large part credits both organizations for her success as a romance author. In adition to travel, the inspiration also comes from reading books by fellow authors, many of whom have become good friends as well as mentors over the years. Before she ever sat down to write, she was an avid reader and continues to enjoy a fairly wide variety of styles and genres. Her favorite romance subgenres are historical, paranormal, and romantic suspense. She also loves historical fiction and nonfiction, her favorite eras being the Middle Ages, Tudor times and the Regency. Her hobbies include archery and collecting period costumes. In a pinch, she can be anyone from Maid Marion to a Celtic Queen to Jane Austen!
