joyous circumstance awakes an overwhelming dread. She is

to Angelina he is willing to follow his advice for a time,
but aches for confrontation .
A MOST IMPROPER RUMOR is a mystery nested within a mystery,
a romance within a romance.
Each book in Emma Wildes' Whisper of Scandal series
is a bit different than a standard historical romance.
Although the central puzzler and one of the couples is
unique to each book, there is also an over-arching story
line that involves the two main (now married)characters as
well as the greater mystery of who is masterminding the
repeated evil. Wildes provides readers with a clever,
engrossing read
and a happy ending while leaving trails that will make
readers eager
to pick up the next book in the series when it is published.
What is society to do when the diamonds of the first
water are caught in compromising situations, one after the
other? Can the young ladies survive the season with their
reputations intact…or will the scandalous whispers
surrounding them bring about the ultimate ruination?
Once the toast of the ton, Lady Angelina DeBrooke is no
longer known just for her exquisite beauty, but more for
her notorious marriages. Dubbed the Dark Angel, she has
fallen in love for the first time and wishes to marry, but
fears finding herself a widow for the third time. With two
poisoned husbands and a cloud of suspicion hanging over
her head, she turns to the only man in England who might
help her…
Benjamin Wallace, Lord Heathton, isn’t interested in
playing detective again, but when Lady DeBrooke approaches
him in a quest to clear her name, he finds the challenge
irresistible. Her second husband was an old friend, and
when he takes a closer look, he catches the scent of a foe
he has hunted before—and knows this is his chance to
finally trap the elusive prey...
