Synopsis
Iris Smythe-Smith has always been overlooked, but when the enigmatic Sir Richard Kenworthy takes an interest in her, she finds herself agreeing to a marriage proposal. Despite her suspicions about his true intentions, Iris is drawn to him. However, Sir Richard harbors secrets that could shatter the budding romance and put their future together in jeopardy.
Julia Quinn is the pseudonym used by Julie Pottinger (born Julie Cotler), a best-selling American historical romance author, who says she chose her pseudonym so her Regency romances would be on bookshelves next to those of the successful romance writer Amanda Quick. Her novels have been translated into thirteen foreign languages, and she has appeared on the New York Times Bestseller List nine times.
