Perfection (Zebra Historical Romance)
Unwilling to believe that the fortune she is due to inherit is gone, Celia disguises herself as her half-brother Martin's new governess in an attempt to find out what role her stepmother, Patrice, may have played in the money's disappearance. When Celia's fiance, Stanley Arlington, notices her absence, he arrives in London and accuses Brandon Pellidore of both stealing Celia's money and murdering her. To dispel Stanley's accusation, Brandon decides to look into matters himself and uncovers not only Celia's little ruse but also evidence that something strange really is going on. With his own money tied up until he can prove that he has not inherited his family's curse of madness, Brandon understands Celia's need to claim what is rightfully hers, but he never expected that Celia would be the woman to claim his love. In her latest historical Regency, Scott beautifully builds a quiet sense of menace and dangerous intrigue and then adds wonderfully complex characters and witty writing to create an exceptionally memorable romance.John CharlesCopyright © American Library Association.
