Scandalous Miss Brightwells

I hope your smelling salts are on hand! This naughty Regency romp spares no details in its honest portrayal of how wicked and lively Fanny and Antoinette Brightwell made their rags-to-riches marriages and became darlings of the English aristocracy? How did it all begin? After Fanny's ambitious mama offers her beautiful, intelligent daughter's hand in marriage to odious Lord Slyther, Fanny has only two weeks to secure an alternative match that will please Lady Brightwell — and settle the creditors' bills. Desperate, Fanny disguises herself for a visit to Vauxhall Gardens where she encounters the devilishly delectable, rapturously responsive — and (fortuitously!) eligible - Lord Fenton. Not only does this roguish rake have the looks and wit to please Fanny, he has the title and pocket book required to please Fanny's mama! However, persuading the naughty nobleman that Fanny would make the perfect wife, requires a deft touch and a lot of cunning. With a spurned suitor intent on revenge, and a feckless sister who is more interested in fun and flirtation than finding a proper suitor, Fanny has her work cut out for her if she's to appear the demure debutante that Fenton — or, rather, his exacting mama - requires. Will Fanny get the right kind of offer from fabulous Fenton — or will feather-brained Antoinette ruin both their reputations?

Would a potential suitor be bolder if he were told the object of his desire had only six months to live? Sweet, pretty Thea Brightwell's dull, quiet life with her crotchety aunt is about to be turned upside down by a visit to Bath and a chance encounter with handsome Mr. Grayling. However, the fledgeling affair is quickly nipped in the bud by Thea's aunt who has no intention of losing her unpaid nurse and companion, while Mr. Grayling regretfully acknowledges he needs to marry an heiress to restore his family's crumbling fortunes. Unbeknownst to penniless Thea, she has an unlikely champion in her well-meaning but 'not-too-bright' Cousin Bertram who has decided to play matchmaker. If the lack of a dowry is the only impediment to Mr. Grayling making an offer of marriage, Bertram reasons the gentleman would play a riskier hand if he were told that the damsel he covets were destined for her deathbed within six months? Crotchety maiden aunts, love letters gone astray, and 'old flames' appearing from the woodwork lead to a most disconcerting outcome!

But when sparks fly and attraction sizzles between the innocent debutante and the jaded man-about-town, Theo must decide what is more important: Love? Or restoring his reputation?
