Lord Alaric Wilde, famed adventurer and author, has returned
after
years overseas, where he had been exploring what more the
world has
to offer. Coming back to polite society after run-ins with
cannibals and
pirates (so the rumors say), Wilde is surprised to learn his
newly
engaged brother, North, is hosting a house party to
celebrate his
impending nuptials. All of the houseguests are in a flutter
to catch a
glimpse is the famous Lord Wilde, whose adventures have
recently
become the subject of a wildly embellished stage play. Wilde is
overwhelmed with his newfound obsessive fans, and is
disappointed
that no one seems to have really read his books, choosing
instead to
think he's like the actor in the play.
Miss Willa Fynche is not impressed with the crazy antics of
Lord Wilde,
never having seen the salacious play or read his books.
Willa reluctantly
attends the house party to support her friend, Diana, who is
betrothed
to Wilde's brother and heir to the dukedom. Willa is
surprised when the
charming Lord Wilde can keep up with her witty sense of
humor. When a
crazed admirer of Wilde's shows up at the house party
unannounced,
Wilde asks Willa to act has his fiancée, to keep his fan at
bay. Annoyed
and put off by Wilde's lack of privacy even in his own
family's home,
Willa agrees, to keep the peace at her dear friend's
celebrations. On top
of this facade, Willa is worried that Diana doesn't
actually want to marry
her betrothed. Thus begins a ruse that quickly turns into to
something
more. With stalkers, very close quarters at a grand estate,
a pet skunk,
and a disgruntled bride-to-be, can Willa and Wilde find true
love where
there's more drama than the latest theater sensation?
The perfect mix of sexy and sweet—Eloisa James has done it
again with
WILDE IN LOVE! The entire set up to the perfect HEA sets in
place the
next books in this dazzling new series from a master of
romance. A slow
burn in the beginning builds to a palpable and hot hot hot

confident, and she, a beautiful, smart, and witty woman.

and attraction light up the pages, making this an easy,
