Description
HEIRESS WITHOUT A CAUSE by award winning author Sara Ramsey
One title to change his life... A disgraced son with a dark reputation, William "Ferguson" Avenel is content to live in exile - until his father dies in the scandal of the Season. With rumors of insanity swirling around them, his sisters desperately need a chaperone. Ferguson thinks he's found the most proper woman in England - and he won't ruin her, even if he secretly desires the passionate woman trapped beneath a spinster's cap.
One chance to break the rules...
Lady Madeleine Vaillant can't face her blighted future without making one glorious memory for herself. In disguise, on a London stage, she finds all the adoration she never felt from the ton. But when she's nearly recognized, she will do anything to hide her identity - even setting up her actress persona as Ferguson's mistress. She'll take the pleasure he offers, but Madeleine won't lose her heart in the bargain.
One season to fall in love...
Every stolen kiss could lead to discovery, and Ferguson's old enemies are determined to ruin them both. But as their dangerous passion ignites their hearts and threatens their futures, how can an heiress who dreams of freedom deny the duke who demands her love?
Advance Praise
A Romantic TImes Magazine 4 Star Review-
Book one of the Muses of Mayfair begins a promising new series with tales of artistic women who must perform their vocations as males. Mad and Ferguson mature as a couple and help those around them through their problems.All Madeline wants to do is act. A spinster of 28, she takes on a stage persona and performs such Shakespeare classics as Hamlet each night. She catches the eye of Ferguson, Duke of Rothwell, who follows her home to ferret out her identity. After one kiss they are spellbound, but both have issues. He doesn’t want the dukedom and familial responsibilities that have fallen into his lap and she doesn’t want to move to Scotland where he has exiled himself for the past 10 years. He insults her further by asking her to assist his twin sisters in their society debuts. There are further complications when her family discovers where she has been spending her evenings.
