Season for Temptation

Book excerpt: Theresa Romain's debut Regency-set historical romance, back in print! Brought Together by Scandal (and Biscuits)One of the oldest in a big blended family, Julia Herington tackles problems large and small with enthusiasm. Lost sheet music? She's happy to search. An unexpected guest? Merely a test of diplomatic skill. A handsome viscount come to call? Time to order an unbelievable number of biscuits. But that viscount--James, Lord Matheson--is a bigger problem than she expected. Julia's beloved stepsister, Louisa, became impulsively engaged to him...and shy Louisa is now full of regrets. Yet James needs a proper wedding to help his relatives through an unfortunate scandal. Julia is determined to transform this troubled engagement of convenience into a love match, whether that means visiting a tumbledown estate or romping through a family Christmas. All the while, her friendship with James grows--and by the time the London Season begins, Julia realizes she has fallen for a man she's forbidden to pursue. With reputations at stake, can she protect those she loves...or will she risk a scandal that just might end in happily-ever-after? "Hilarious and utterly adorable. Theresa Romain's brilliant debut manages to be both passionate and just plain fun."--New York Times bestselling author Courtney Milan
