How does an innocent lady find herself forced to wed a
royal spy who seduced her -- by mistake? For Lady Rebecca
Marshall, a whirlwind of passion and excitement begins
when, to her mother's great delight, she becomes a maid of
honor at the court of Queen Victoria. Rebecca's mother
sees this appointment as a golden opportunity for Rebecca
to make a good match. At court, Rebecca innocently steps
into the rivalry between the queen's spymaster and the
noblewoman in charge of the maids of honor who is using
the maids to spy on powerful courtiers. Soon Rebecca is
entangled in a web of deceit with the charming marquis
Rupert St. John. The devastatingly handsome n'er-do-well
is the cousin of Raphael Locke, with whom Rebecca was once
infatuated. What she doesn't know is that Rupert is a
secret agent of the crown who leads a double life. When
Rupert obtains proof that Rebecca is spying on him, he
seduces her. He hardly suspects her guileless nature.
Forced to the altar, Rupert believes that Rebecca has set
a trap of the worst sort in order to marry into his
powerful family. Although he vows never to be faithful to
his beautiful wife, as Rupert comes to know Rebecca's wit,
adventurous spirit, and generous nature, his vow of
revenge turns into a desire to share many passionate
nights only with his wife for the rest of his
life. Warm, witty, and fillled with the "deliciously
sexy" (Booklist) flirtation that makes each of her
bestsellers an irresistible gem, A Rogue of My Own
will have readers falling in love with Johanna Lindsey all
over again!
