Who said well-bred ladies had to behave properly?
There’s nothing better than reading about strong-willed, determined women… unless those women are fighting against society’s dim viewpoints for their happy endings during the Regency era. This Scandalously Independent collection contains the first two Scandal in Surrey books.
In Lady Parker’s Grand Affair, Maggie, Lady Parker, is happy with her quiet life in Surrey, except she’d really like to flirt with scandal one last time and hope that it will tame the longing inside her. When Stephen Tarkington accompanies her niece to England with marriage on his mind, all of Maggie’s best laid plans go awry. Romance is in the air, but a fit of teenage angst might nip a happy ending in the bud.
In The Bride’s Gambit, Vanessa Underhill has run away from her fifth trip to the marriage altar. She refuses to take vows with a man she doesn’t know, but when her carriage to London is stopped by a masked highwayman—namely Viscount Blackpool, Collin Northington—she changes her mind. Kidnapped and well into scandal, Vanessa takes control of her fate and asks the highwayman to ruin her. In a heated moment, he reveals not only his intentions but his scarred face. Everything crumbles into chaos and she runs again.
