Love Is a Rogue - a stunning new Regency romance (Paperback): Lenora Bell Love Is a Rogue - a stunning new Regency romance (Paperback)
Lenora Bell
R148 Discovery Miles 1 480 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

'You'll love Lenora Bell!' Eloisa James Once upon a time in Mayfair . . . a group of wallflowers formed a secret society with goals that had absolutely nothing to do with matrimony. Their most troublesome obstacle? Rogues! They call her Beastly Beatrice. Wallflower Lady Beatrice Bentley longs to remain in the wilds of Cornwall to complete her etymological dictionary. Too bad her brother's Gothic mansion is under renovation. How can she work with an annoyingly arrogant and too-handsome rogue swinging a hammer nearby? Rogue. Scoundrel. Call him anything you like as long as you pay him. Navy man Stamford Wright is leaving England soon and renovating Thornhill House is just a job. It's not about the duke's bookish sister or her fiery copper hair. Or the etymology lessons the prim-yet-alluring lady insists on giving him. Or the forbidden things he'd love to teach her. They say never mix business with pleasure. But when Beatrice and Ford aren't arguing, they're kissing. Sometimes temptation proves too strong to resist . . . even if the cost is a heart. Praise for Lenora Bell: 'Love is a Rogue is a love letter to bookish girls' Entertainment Weekly 'Love is a Rogue has it all with laughter, romance, and all the emotions. Whether this is your first venture into historical romance or you're a long-time fan of Lenora Bell, this book will make your heart flutter!' The Nerd Daily 'Brilliant and intoxicating' Booklist (starred review) 'Gripping and emotionally charged, this romance promises more good things from the series to come' Publishers Weekly (starred review) 'If you've been looking for a bold, new voice in historical romance, the search ends here. Lenora Bell is it!' Sarah MacLean 'You've been waiting for Lenora Bell' Sophie Jordan 'Lenora Bell is a true delight to read' Lorraine Heath 'Fresh, flirty, and fabulous! The new Belle of Historical Romance!' Kerrelyn Sparks

A USA Today Bestseller 'This is a book in which storylines twist, spiral and come together again in an ending as explosive as a poof of smoke from your chimney... or a top hat.' -- Oprah.com 'Smart, intricately plotted... a richly imagined thriller.' -- PEOPLE magazine The Amazing Arden is the most famous female illusionist of her day, renowned for her notorious trick of sawing a man in half on stage. But one night she swaps her trademark saw for an axe. When Arden's husband is found dead later that night, the answer seems clear, most of all to young policeman Virgil Holt. Captured and taken into custody, all seems set for Arden's swift confession. But she has a different story to tell. Even handcuffed and alone, Arden is far from powerless, and what she reveals is as unbelievable as it is spellbinding.

Macallister, like the Amazing Arden, mesmerizes her audience. No sleight of hand is necessary. An ambitious heroine and a captivating tale are all the magic she needs.' Washington Post 'In The Magician's Lie, Greer Macallister has created a rich tapestry of mystery, magic, and lost love. The novel drew me in with its lush details and edge-of-your-seat plot. The tale of the tragic Amazing Arden, a female magician, will have you questioning how the truth of a tale can be different than the material facts, and how what you feel can be stronger than the soundest logic.' Margaret Dilloway, author of 'How to be an American Housewife' and 'The Care of Handling Roses with Thorns' 'Twisted together with magic, a drenching touch of evil, betrayal, love, and wonderful storytelling will make this a tale you won't soon forget.

The Magician's Lie is a mesmerizing novel of illusion, secrets, and suspense. Bravo!' Erika Robuck, author of 'Call me Zelda' and 'Fallen Beauty' 'The Magician's Lie is riveting, compelling, beautiful, frightening, evocative and above all magical. Don't miss this immersive novel of suspense and wonder from an exciting new voice in historical fiction!' M.J. Rose 'A suspenseful and well-researched tale of magic, secrets and betrayal that will keep you guessing until the end.' J. Courtney Sullivan, author of 'The Engagements and Maine' 'Like her heroine the Amazing Arden, Greer Macallister has created a blend of magic that is sure to delight her audience. The Magician's Lie is a rich tale of heart-stopping plot turns, glittering prose, and a cast of complex, compelling characters. Readers beware: those who enter Macallister's delicious world of magic and mystery won't wish to leave!' Allison Pataki, author of 'The Traitor's Wife'
