A wealthy and independent woman, Elizabeth Dunaway
establishes the controversial Abigail Adams Club. The
club's mission is to gain rights for women and improve
their lives through education from financial matters to
taking charge in the bedroom. Raised by two eccentric aunts
who gave her self-confidence and courage, Elizabeth marches
with her followers from Parliament to Whitehall trying to
obtain justice for women. Tossed into jail, Elizabeth
maintains her defiance until one unusual man intervenes.
Suddenly, she understands love and lust at first sight.
Ross Carrington, first Earl of Blakestone, sees a vision
leading a rally of suffragists from the admiralty's window
as he engages in diplomatic efforts to thwart war between
the Russians and Austrians. The rally is led by a beautiful
woman vibrating with spirit and righteous anger. Ross
attempts to ignore her plight as the police round up the
revolutionaries and throw them in jail. He returns to the
table for the talks, but he's unable to rid himself of the
vision of the rebel leader.
Leaving his good sense behind, Ross intervenes on
Elizabeth's behalf and gets her released. Instead of
gratitude, Ross encounters a spitfire demanding publicity
for her cause. A battle of the sexes ensues, and watching
Ross and Elizabeth juggle their secrets and schemes has
never been so entertaining.
Ms. Needham concludes her Gentleman Rogue series with a
home run. She perfectly blends humor, adventure and
chemistry between the characters, making this an
irresistible read!
Elizabeth Dunaway believes that the moment an independent-
minded woman marries, her husband seizes complete control
of her life. That's why she is determined never to walk
down the aisles of matrimony. But when an unfortunate
incident gets her thrown in prison, she has no choice but
to accept a marriage of convenience to the insufferable,
albeit handsome, Ross Carrington, the Earl of Blakestone.
As a gentleman spy, Ross often finds himself embroiled in
scandals not of his making. But he never thought his
inquiries into the disappearance of three young ladies
would lead him to a notorious ladies' club ... or wed to
the magnificent Miss Dunaway. Not many men would appreciate
his new bride's rebellious spirit, yet Ross finds it both
charming and seductive. Now he just has to convince
Elizabeth that true liberation can be hers by surrendering
to his passion and love.
