After her brother's death, Lady May Hayworth learns of his
many love affairs and the numerous children he left behind.
She tries to undo his thoughtlessness by playing fairy
godmother and giving her nieces an opportunity for a better
life. Having successfully married off two nieces, she turns
her attention to Sophie Temple.
A guilty Sophie Temple, the daughter of an
actress/courtesan, impersonates Lady May's niece. The true
niece, who died at infancy, was the daughter of a fellow
courtesan and friend of Sophie's mother. After her mother
and "aunt's" death, Sophie is left penniless and with few
options. She gives herself one season to catch a
respectable husband and repay Lady May's generosity.
Stumbling upon Gideon Hayworth at Lady May's house throws
her good intentions aside. Falling in love with an
unrepentant rake puts her plan in chaos.
Gideon Hayworth, Earl of Ashford, recuperates from a
dueling injury in his estranged aunt's home. Banished from
society for his debauchery and his infamous affairs with
married women, Gideon has spent the past few years avoiding
ties with anyone. Staying at Lady May's and having glorious
verbal battles with Sophie gives him exquisite pleasure and
pain. Gideon will not marry, nor will he compromise Sophie.
With a sensually wicked hero and a sassy heroine, THE
BEAUTY OF BOND STREET is a delightful battle of wills, a
romance tinged with mystery. In this third edition of the
Mayfair Brides series, Ms. Navin has penned a wonderful
read to enjoy on a summer day.
When Sophie Temple discovers a letter inquiring about a
child her late aunt had borne some twenty years ago,
Sophie
decides to pose as the long lost child. She'll give
herself
one season to carry out the deception so she can make the
best marriage possible. Unfortunately, she never counted
on
meeting Gideon Hayworth, Earl of Ashford.
The dashing earl is anything but respectable, but suddenly
he is all Sophie's heart desires.
