After escaping an unhappy marriage, Lady Riverton enjoys her notoriety among the ton…even if her reputation isn't deserved. But when she's caught in a most compromising position with Andrew Robson, for the first time the truth is even more scandalous than the rumors!

And yet, in Andrew's arms, Beatrice finds she's no longer defined by her reputation and is free to be the woman she truly is. Is it time for Beatrice to trust in Andrew and end her reign of scandal once and for all?

About the author

In fifth grade, Liz's teacher encouraged the students to write plays, and allowed them to cast their classmates as the characters. Then the students stood in front of the class and read their lines. Liz scribbled as fast as she could to finish her Little Red Riding hood series by the end of the year. She was writing plays she knew would be produced and she could cast any of her friends in the roles. In a rural Oklahoma town of approximately 500 people, it was an incredible experience, particularly because the actors couldn't refuse their parts and the audience was already assembled.

Liz always planned to write a novel, but she believed that only people from an imaginary world in which Stephen King, Hemmingway or the Bronte sisters lived could become writers. Getting a book published felt like an impossible dream but it came true for Liz when Harlequin Historical published her debut novel.

Now Liz writes from her home on a small acreage and takes breaks from plotting to walk in the woods while taking photos of wildflowers and nature. No wolves are in the area—she hopes—and her stories still have a similar theme to the ones she penned in fifth grade...a heroine who triumphs and a happily ever after!
