Romance Historical

A wealthy and independent woman, Elizabeth Dunaway establishes the controversial Abigail Adams Club. The club's mission is to gain rights for women and improve their lives through education from financial matters to taking charge in the bedroom. Raised by two eccentric aunts who gave her self-confidence and courage, Elizabeth marches with her followers from Parliament to Whitehall trying to obtain justice for women. Tossed into jail, Elizabeth maintains her defiance until one unusual man intervenes. Suddenly, she understands love and lust at first sight. Ross Carrington, first Earl of Blakestone, sees a vision leading a rally of suffragists from the admiralty's window as he engages in diplomatic efforts to thwart war between the Russians and Austrians. The rally is led by a beautiful woman vibrating with spirit and righteous anger. Ross attempts to ignore her plight as the police round up the revolutionaries and throw them in jail. He returns to the table for the talks, but he's unable to rid himself of the vision of the rebel leader. Leaving his good sense behind, Ross intervenes on Elizabeth's behalf and gets her released. Instead of gratitude, Ross encounters a spitfire demanding publicity for her cause. A battle of the sexes ensues, and watching Ross and Elizabeth juggle their secrets and schemes has never been so entertaining. Ms. Needham concludes her Gentleman Rogue series with a home run. She perfectly blends humor, adventure and chemistry between the characters, making this an irresistible read!

SUMMARY

What's In a Husband? Elizabeth Dunaway believes that the moment an independent- minded woman marries, her husband seizes complete control of her life. That's why she is determined never to walk down the aisles of matrimony. But when an unfortunate incident gets her thrown in prison, she has no choice but to accept a marriage of convenience to the insufferable, albeit handsome, Ross Carrington, the Earl of Blakestone. As a gentleman spy, Ross often finds himself embroiled in scandals not of his making. But he never thought his inquiries into the disappearance of three young ladies would lead him to a notorious ladies' club ... or wed to the magnificent Miss Dunaway. Not many men would appreciate his new bride's rebellious spirit, yet Ross finds it both charming and seductive. Now he just has to convince Elizabeth that true liberation can be hers by surrendering to his passion and love.
