Jonathan Bourne, the new Earl of Augustine, has only one
purpose after returning to England, to settle all family
matters that are in need of his attention (such as finding
suitable husbands for his sisters). Jonathan has spent most
of his life in America and, being half English and part
Native American, doesn't care about being proper or
that most of his peers feel they need to gossip about him
and his actions. This attitude is what propels Jonathan to
scandalously assist Lady Cecily in cleaning up a champagne
spill and whisper naughty things to her that no one else can
hear, giving him the distraction he needs to stay
entertained while carrying out his duties.
Lady Cecily Francis is the daughter of a Duke and is
expected to find the perfect husband at the end of the ever
popular London season. Unfortunately, Lady Cecily has a
feeling that the man her sister is pining for, Lord Drury,
is going to ask Cecily for her hand in marriage which will
cause all sorts of issues between the sisters. Cecily must
find a way to dissuade Lord Drury from popping the fated
question. Thanks to an ill timed champagne spill and erotic
whispers from the infamous Earl of Augustine, Cecily may
have the perfect scenario that makes her sister happy
especially since the Earl is the only man who captures
Cecily's attention and interest the entire season. Now all
Cecily has to do is convince the Earl to join in on her plan.
ONE WHISPER AWAY is the first book in Emma Wildes new
series, Ladies in Waiting. The characters are fun and
entertaining with interesting second story lines to keep a
readers intrigued. Always a good read.
Lady Cecily Francis is resigned to become the wife of Lord
Drury, the man she suspects her sister is pining for. But
upon her first scandalous encounter with the exotic Earl of
Augustine-the American whom everyone is whispering about-
Cecily is intrigued by the possibility of a more exciting
life. If only she could contrive some way to marry the
unconventional earl instead....
Around town he's known as Earl Savage. Although he inherited
his title legitimately-and, with it, responsibility for his
three half sisters-Augustine is half American and part
Iroquois. He can't wait to settle his father's estate, marry
his sisters off, and return to his native soil. Until
charming Lady Cecily has him considering a prolonged stay in
England...
