Description
Honoria Keyes isn't the gawky, impressionable fifteen-year-old girl she was when she first met Simon Fairchild. Twelve years have passed, and she's a successful artist, enjoying her independence to the fullest. Simon has changed, too. Gone is the beautiful, gentle boy of Honoria's dreams. In his place is a dangerous, damaged man intent on avoiding human contact-and emotions. It would be unthinkable to fall for this difficult, wounded recluse. But then again, Honoria has never been one to do things the easy way Simon returned from Waterloo a bitter, broken shell of the man he once was. As if his scarred body and mind aren't bad enough, he's also financially dependent on his brother, the duke, while he convalesces. The duke's fondest wish is for Simon to marry and produce an heir-something Simon has no intention of doing. The one thing he never anticipated? All the unwanted feelings the lovely, talented, and infinitely intriguing Honoria would awaken in him Can Honoria and Simon heal the wounds of the past and build a life together? Or will their attempt at happily ever after end up a portrait of failure?Praise for The Rebels of the Ton:"Thanks to Minerva Spencer's sparkling dialogue and ability to ramp up the sexual tension, the unconventional couple at the heart of Notorious is impossible not to love." - Popsugar"Brilliantly crafted?an irresistible cocktail of smart characterization, sophisticated sensuality, and sharp wit."-Booklist STARRED REVIEWPraise for The Outcasts:"Sexy, witty, and fiercely entertaining."
