Book Overview

MY LADY ANGEL
Passion and Strife in Regency England

Book 1 of Feuding Families series

Can a noble widow and a mysterious stranger find love while a family feud threatens to ruin her?

Following her father's death, the widowed Angelina becomes Baroness Rosevale and head of the ancient family. But her father's earldom passes to the nearest male heir, her second cousin Frederick, head of the estranged side of the family.

Angel and Frederick have never met. And Angel does not give a fig for the family feud. But when a claimant to Frederick's earldom arrives from France, Angel faces a dilemma. Should she support Frederick, the earl, now furious at having his position questioned? Or Pierre, the charming and handsome Frenchman who claims to have evidence to prove he is the real heir?

Trying to escape her onerous responsibilities, and longing for the freedom that neither her father nor her late husband would permit, Angel attends a masked ball. There she meets Max, an intriguing and mysterious man whose kisses melt all her resistance.

How far will she allow him to go when they are alone together? And what will she do if the results of their tryst become visible enough to ruin her? Who will help her then - irate Frederick, or fascinating Pierre?

For the enigmatic Max seems to have completely disappeared.

And she found it with a mysterious stranger known only as Max. But even under the spell cast by Max's gentle kisses, she sensed there was something disturbingly familiar about her masked lover...
