Book description
'But if modern manhood had let me down, at least the past boasted
brighter specimens. To wit, the Scarlet Pimpernel, the Purple
Gentian and the Pink Carnation, that dashing trio of spies who
kept Napoleon in a froth of rage and the feminine population of
England in another sort of froth entirely.'
Modern-day student Eloise Kelly has achieved a great academic coup
by unmasking the elusive spy, the Pink Carnation, who saved England
from Napoleon. But now she has a million questions about the
Carnation's deadly nemesis, the Black Tulip. And she's pretty sure
that handsome Colin Selwick has the answers somewhere in his
family's archives...
A native of New York City, Lauren Willig has been writing romances
ever since she got her hands on her first romance novel at the age of
six. Like Eloise Kelly, Lauren is the proud possessor of an unfinished
Harvard History department dissertation, and spent a year poring over
old documents at the British Library before abandoning the academic
life for the more lucrative world of law. Once Lauren received her JD
magna cum laude from Harvard Law School, she practised as a litigation
associate at a large New York firm, but decided that book deadlines
and doc review didn't mix and departed the law for a new adventure in
full-time writerdom.
