In Regency London, Maggie Delamere has fought hard to get
where she is. Having been seduced by a member of the ton when
she was younger, Maggie soon found herself abandoned and
disowned by her family. But now she is finally living her life
the way she always wanted - writing successful plays for the
theatre that has become her family, her own bitter experience
lending itself to her craft. But the life Maggie has battled
to achieve is threatened because she can no longer find the
words she needs to write, and with the board threatening to
replace her, Maggie may lose everything she holds dear. When
salvation offers itself to her in the form of Cameron Chalton,
the Viscount of Marwood, will Maggie be able to overcome her
opinions of the aristocracy to take the lifeline he offers?
Cameron understands he has a reputation as a notorious
rake, and normally he revels in it. Never wanting to get
married and produce an heir, the theatre, and particularly the
plays of the elusive Mrs. Delamere, provide Cameron with the
emotions and happiness that are sadly lacking in his life. The
more Cameron gets to know the spirited Maggie, he hungers for
her company as well as her touch, and has no qualms in coming
to her rescue when she needs him. But as scorching hot passion
envelops them both, will their hearts be able to survive the
blaze?
SCANDAL TAKES THE STAGE by Eva Leigh is the second novel of
The Wicked Quills of London series, and I am
completely enthralled by this magnificent tale. I instantly
cared about Maggie who had suffered so much, but had the
strength to take charge and reach her goals. Spirited and
determined, it was a joy to discover Maggie's vulnerable side
when she realises that Cameron is not your typical, unsavoury
aristocrat. Cameron is the ultimate hero - dashing, funny,
intelligent and enlightened, at a time when many of his fellow
lords were anything but. And I loved those scenes where we
truly feel his emotions and fears. With plenty of wit,
scorching ardour, and the magic of the theatre world in Regency
England, SCANDAL TAKES THE STAGE by Eva Leigh is the perfect
book for romance fans everywhere.
Together they may create a scandal worthy of the stage, but
can their love last
after the final curtain falls…?
Successful playwright
Maggie Delamere has
no interest in the flirtations of noblemen like Cameron,
Viscount Marwood. She
once paid dearly for a moment of weakness…and vows to
rebuff the wildly
persistent—and irritatingly handsome—scoundrel at every
turn. But when pressure
to deliver a new play hampers her creativity, an invitation
to use his country
estate as a writer’s retreat is too tempting to resist....
For years, Cam
has admired Maggie’s brilliant work and he can’t pass up
the opportunity to
discover if the beautiful, mysterious playwright is as
passionate and clever as
the words that flow from her quill. He’s never offered a
lady his bed without
being in it, but if it means loosening Maggie’s pen—and her
inhibitions—he’ll do
exactly that.
But soon Cam’s plans for seduction
become a fight for
Maggie’s heart. He’s more than the scandalous, carefree
rake society believes him
to be…and she’s the only woman who has ever noticed.
