Cover,
"A desperate pea leads to a fake engagement in this delightful Regency romance ...
Miss Abigail Abbott desperately needs to disappear - permanently - and the only person she trusts to help her do that is Lord Stephen Wentworth, heir to the Duke of Walden. Stephen is brilliant, charming and - when he needs to be - absolutely ruthless. So ruthless that he proposes marriage instead of 'murder' to keep Abigail safe.
Stephen was smitten the instant his sister introduced him to Abigail, a woman with the dignity and determination of a duchess and the courage of a lioness. When she accepts his courtship of convenience, he also discovers she kisses like his most intimate wish come true. For Abigail, their arrangement is a sham to escape her dangerous enemies. For Stephen, it's his one chance to share a lifetime with the lady of his dreams - if only he can convince her his love is real."
An author I will read again when I get the chance. Yes, it is modern manners dressed in Regency clothing, but the writing and the plot are a cut above most and the characters are likewise.
I have a plan for this book and although I had thought to save it, I may well change my mind on that plan! Watch this space ......

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Of course, in all honesty I have to point out I've never come across a Burrowes that wasn't simply wonderful. That thought lead me to check which others of Burrowes Regency novels I had read only to find I have not registered any! Greatly puzzled! Have each and everyone of my previous Burrowes book reads been library books? How peculiar I would have sworn more than a few were BookCrossing books...
