The Lady in Gray (Signet Regency Romance)
Compromised, disgraced, and banished to the care of her freethinking, slightly scandalous aunt on the Cornish coast, 18-year-old Lady Sylvia Sutherland swears off love, consoles herself with her painting, and resigns herself to spinsterhood. Ten years later, however, Nicholas Morley, Earl of Longueville, returns to Cornwall, and Lady Sylvia's life suddenly becomes less predictable and a lot more romantic. A pair of beautifully matched, emotionally wounded, and socially ostracized protagonists come to terms with the past, deal with a bit of pure evil, and learn to trust and love in this involving, well-crafted Regency that, while darker and more realistic than some, delivers a satisfying romance with a mysterious touch. Oliver, a popular writer of Regencies (An Inconvenient Wife, Signet, 1998), lives in Texas.Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
