Romance Historical

Mason Noirot is the support of the Noirot family. Without it, they will perish. Sophy writes for the local scandal sheet as well as working for the family business. When she sees Longmore's sister comprised and forced into an engagement with a man who won't be able to support her dressmakers, Sophy must take action.

Using her mastery of disguise, she will convince Longmore that the only option is for them to work together to prevent this marriage. Things were going nicely until Clara decides to run away. Together, Sophy and Longmore will set out to search for Clara and return her to London before an even bigger scandal erupts.

Using all of her resources to protect their businesses, Sophy and Longmore will work side by side to prevent the failure of her business and the ruin of his family.

As the Duke of Clevedon's best friend, Longmore is familiar with the scandal that rocked London when Clevedon married one of the notorious sisters. Even allowing for his mother's hatred of the sister, he can't keep his mind off of Sophy and the temptation she represents. He's never had an agile mind but he finds himself constantly trying to keep up with Sophy. He must also ferret out her secrets so he can accomplish his goals.

SCANDAL WEARS SATIN is another fabulous read from Loretta Chase, and is a not to be missed story. Ms. Chase keeps readers guessing what will happen next as they participate in the intrigue. SCANDAL WEARS SATIN was so much fun to read as Sophy and Harry butt heads until they realize their feelings for each other.

SUMMARY

A blue-eyed innocent on the outside and a shark on the inside, dressmaker Sophy Noirot could sell sand to Bedouins. Selling Maison Noirot's beautiful designs to aristocratic ladies is a little harder, especially since a recent family scandal has made an enemy of one of society's fashion leaders. Turning scandal to the shop's advantage requires every iota of Sophy's manipulative skills, leaving her little patience for a big, reckless rakes like the Earl of Longmore. The gorgeous lummox can't keep more than one idea in his head at a time, and his idea is taking off all of Sophy's clothes. But when Longmore's sister, Noirot's wealthiest, favorite customer, runs away, Sophy can't let him bumble after her on his own. In hot pursuit with the one man who tempts her beyond reason, she finds desire has never slipped on so smoothly . . .
