The third Waverley sister meets her match in a dazzling Regency romance from the New York Times–bestselling author of The First Rebellion and Silken Bonds.

By day Felicity championed women’s rights, but by night she dreamed of romance. She was the secret author of a scandalous new novel—the tale of a lady “rake” and her passionate exploits. Yet one titled gentleman grew more and more intrigued with this headstrong young woman, and Felicity would soon learn that real life could be infinitely more interesting (and stranger) than fiction.
