Will Repton, dubbed "Chinese Will", by the press, is the
sole survivor of an attack by a band of Tibetan marauders, which
killed four of his associates in Tibet. Working for the
East India Company, Will worked for the East India Company and was a celebrated
explorer and plant
collector when the attack occurred.
Fleeing to escape, Will fell and injured his leg and now walks with a limp.
He has returned to London as a hero, and he has plans for another China
expedition, but needs funding. Arriving at the
Mayfair residence of his long time friend, Bill Paxton,
Will is incorrectly shown into the parlor of his sister-in-
law, Charlotte Baker. It's Sunday and as usual, Charlotte
is entertaining the eligible bachelors who are vying for her
attention.
Charlotte is aware of Will's background,
and he is more handsome than she dreamed. Will is the man
of Charlotte's dreams, her soulmate, and the man she believes she is
destined to marry. Will thinks she is
the most beautiful woman he has ever seen and a charming chatterbox, but he is
not familiar with the
actions of women and doesn't have a clue as how to handle this one.
Will Charlotte catch Will?
Susanne Lord, in her debut novel, tells a dazzling and
heart-warming romantic story about Will and Charlotte, their
family, friends, with an added dash of history. Their time together is
charged with sexual energy. The banter between them is witty and I laughed
often and
long. Will is a delight! Things progress
between them slowly but surely with delights pure and
simple! IN SEARCH OF SCANDAL is a delightful book that
I will cherish, think about, and long for another soon. I recommend IN SEARCH
OF SCANDAL to everyone who loves to read
about love. I absolutely love it! It is my cup of tea!
All of London is abuzz with the tale of Will Repton. The
lone survivor of a massacre in Tibet has returned to
England
a hero, but the traumatized explorer has no time for glory.
Another dangerous expedition awaits.
Nothing will deter him from his quest, and no one will
unearth his secret-until Will meets Charlotte Baker.
IS NO MATCH FOR AN ADVENTUROUS HEART
Vivacious Charlotte Baker also has a mission-to find a man
whose bold spirit matches her own. When she meets Will
Repton, she immediately recognizes him as her soul mate,
and
she's naively willing to turn her back on the rules of
propriety to ensnare him.
Will is torn between his fascination with Charlotte and his
vow to finish his quest.
He knows what it is to risk life and limb-but what if his
most perilous adventure doesn't lie across an ocean, but
within his own lost heart?
