The Scandalous Lady

The Lacebridge Ladies #1

by Maggie Gladstone

As one of the dazzling Lacebridge belles, Sara was expected to marry a man of wealth and position. Instead she scandalized all polite society by running away to pursue her dream of stardom on the London stage. She seemed a defenseless innocent in the glittering, risque world of the theater -- delectable prey for the backstage rogues and rowdies she dismissed her as a glaring amateur, an easy conquest who must wind up as some lord's mistress and be better off for it. Undaunted, the ambitious, stagestruck beauty set out to prove her worth. But not even she could foresee the shocking turn of events that would win her the grudging respect of the sneering sophisticates -- and capture the heart of Covent Garden's most handsome leading man!

This was a fun story. It took a bit to get going but I liked the last quarter a lot. Low steam, comedic, sweet.
