title: The Book of Scandal
author:  Julia London 
description: London (<i>Highlander Unbound</i>) sets this convincing tale of romance and intrigue in the early 1800s, an obscure period of strife in the English monarchy. Nathan Grey, the Earl of Lindsey, lost himself in liquor and debauchery after the death of his infant son, while his wife, Evelyn, abandoned their loving but superficial marriage and began flirting with another peer. Three years later, when Nathan learns that Evelyn could be named in Princess Caroline's infamous Book of Scandal, he kidnaps her from court, pretending they've reconciled. Nathan's attempt to guard the family's reputation soon blossoms into a genuine desire to rebuild their marriage, but Evelyn resists. Meddling by servants and both sets of parents provides needed backstory and also unites the couple against their helpful interference. The only sour note is Nathan's insistence that Evelyn apologize for adulterous thoughts that pale compared to his unabashed actions. Despite the confusing court scandals, this reunion story is mostly a joy. <i>(Sept.)</i> <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

   Jack Barrett is an ambitious member of parliament with no time or desire for
  a wife. When he catches the Duke of Eastleigh’s sister sneaking inside one of
  London’s private gentlemen’s clubs, he’s shocked—and dangerously charmed—and
  assumes the role of protector, only to discover she has the means to destroy
  him.
  
  
  
   Social pariah Lady Viola Fairfax masquerades as a man to pen a column in a
  popular women’s magazine. When she stumbles upon a brewing scandal that
  implicates a prominent MP, she seizes the chance to establish herself as a
  real journalist. However, the infuriating and intoxicating man may not be the
  radical he’s purported to be, and the more time they spend together, the more
  she risks the one thing she’s sworn never to do: fall in love.
