New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James delivers
fascinating behind-the-scenes look in the Essex Sisters
world, along with a brand-new short story in the series
This is a book no Eloisa James fan should miss! Eloisa
revisits the scintillating world of the Essex Sisters
with “A Midsummer Night’s Disgrace,” a new story
featuring a young lady, Cece, who would rather ruin her
own reputation than endure further speculation about
whether her children will be “silly,” like her brother,
Billy. Happily for fans of Pleasure for Pleasure, Cece’s
best friend is Josie, Countess of Mayne!
Just as exciting, the Companion includes not only
Eloisa’s original notes about each book and her “extra”
chapters, but a 170-page alternate ending to Kiss Me,
Annabel. Eloisa discarded this shockingly different plot
after writing one draft, and the published novel went in
an entirely new direction. Make up your own mind about
which is better—Eloisa’s original, or the final book!
Super fan Jody Gayle’s engaging guide includes essays
about fascinating historical details, including period
fashion designs. Explore the world of horse racing and
tour the London theater scene. Delve into the rich
history and deep literary tradition that makes Eloisa one
of the top writers of historical romance.
The Companion also gives you a sneak peek at Eloisa’s
newest full-length novella, “A Gentleman Never Tells”—
which springs from the world of the Essex Sisters! What
will happen when one of the men who ruined an heiress’
debut by labeling her a “Wooly Breeder” (and Josie Essex
a “Scottish Sausage”) decides that it’s time to make
amends?
