Secrets and scandal in Regency England! A Newmarket Regency.
...
When devil-may-care Kit Kydd rescues actress Susanna Fair from the dishonourable Rafe Warwick - a man who has a substantial bet on making Susanna his mistress - he proposes a feigned engagement to keep her hidden. But the price of this is a visit to Newmarket - where unbeknownst to him, the scandal of Susanna's past lies uneasily below the surface. Then her former theatre troupe arrive in the town, needing her to take a leading part one last time, and Rafe Warwick reappears, hell-bent on revenge. Dissembling, disguises, keeping Kit at arm's length for both their sakes... all in all, it's really not the ideal time to fall in love.
This is a revised version of the original hardback, published by Robert Hale in 2008. It was shortlisted for the Love Story of the Year award in 2010.
