description: Maggie Lady Hawkins had a debut shed rather forgetalong with her first marriage. Today the political cartoonist is a new woman. A thoroughly modern woman. So much so that her clamoring public believes shes a man FACT: Drawing under a male pseudonym Maggie is known as Lemarc. Her (his!) favorite object of ridicule: Simon Barrett Earl of Winchester. Hes a rising star in Parliamentand a former confidant and love interest of Maggies who believed a rumor that vexes her to this day. FICTION: Maggie is the Half-Irish Harlot who seduced her best friends husband on the eve of their wedding. She is to be feared and loathed as she will lift her skirts for anything in breeches. Still crushed by Simons betrayal Maggie has no intention of letting the ton crush her as well. In fact Lemarcs cartoons have made Simon a laughingstockbut now it appears that Maggie may have been wrong about what happened years ago and that Simon has been secretly yearning for her sinceforever. Could it be that the heart is mightier than the pen and the sword after all?
