Description

“I say, where did you find such a dress? Or should I say 'mess'?” Baron William Hargreaves, arbiter of all things fashionable, loves nothing more than firing his derisive salvos at his favorite target—Caroline Burgess, newly come to London society and the fading glory of the Ton.

Caroline will never admit she enjoys their skirmishes. Nor will she admit to the dreams he inspires, or the sensations he stirs deep inside her.

William tries to hide his growing attraction to Caroline, but as their relationship warms, Caroline outrageously accepts a role in a play—an unforgiveable profession for a lady of the Ton. Nonetheless, William cannot ignore her.

When Caroline is forced to shoot a man to death on a London street, she initiates a scandal far worse than her calling as an actress. Brokenhearted, she returns home to Philadelphia determined to leave England and her pain behind.

A blow to his own reputation overshadows William's judgment when he becomes trapped in a mockery of a marriage because of a product of a youthful indiscretion.

But where there is love, there is hope. His Wicked Lady, Book #3 in the Touch the Sky series

Advance Praise

HIS WICKED LADY, Book #3 in Sharon’s Touch The Sky series, features William Hargreaves as a stuffy, egotistical baron who cannot resist the American heiress Caroline Burgess. Caroline secretly welcomes William’s attention, but quickly establishes her independence by accepting a role in a play (unforgiveable for a lady of the Ton!) and carrying a pistol for her own protection – which she is not loathe to use if necessary.

Praise for Swept Away (Book #2 in the Touch The Sky series.) Featuring Mignon Hargreaves. “Is there a female version of “swashbuckler”? Perhaps “swashcorseter”? If so, then Ms. Drane’s tale of honorable (and dishonorable!) gentlemen and daring ladies in dire straits fits the description.” – Amazon Customer

Praise for Touch The Sky (Book #1 in the Touch The Sky series.) Featuring Celeste Hargreaves, the oldest daughter of the doomed Hargreaves family. “Sharon Drane's first book is a blockbuster. I love a book that grabs me and FORCES me to finish it in one setting. TOUCH THE SKY is one of them. Strong characters, engaging plot, heart-warming love story of growth and healing. You'll be doing yourself a disservice if you don't read this book.” -Bestselling author Elizabeth Sinclair

Marketing Plan

Author and actress Sharon Drane is noted for her kazooing skills. But that's only scratching the surface of her many talents. She began dance lessons at two years of age. At age six, she appeared in her very first play. At the age of 16, Sharon's grandmother insisted on classical voice lessons. As a drama major in college, she appeared in a number of plays. Sharon has directed roughly 25 productions and appeared in at least as many plays in various theaters, primarily in Texas. Sharon’s love of (and experience with) the theatre shines through in HIS WICKED LADY, Book #3 in her Touch The Sky series.

Sharon frequently participates in blog tours, and will be featured in a ‘release’ tour later this year. Her own blog, Author and PopCulture Diva, features film, book, television, and music reviews, as well as "thought pieces."
