Book description
Eloise Kelly longs for the romance of years gone by; for a dashing
hero like The Scarlet Pimpernel to come and sweep her off her Jimmy
Choo-clad feet...but instead she's sloshing around London in the
rain and finally realising that romantic heroes are a thing of the past.
To distract herself from such thoughts, Eloise concentrates on her
History dissertation, and it's while rummaging through a pile of old
letters and diaries that she discovers something amazing, something
that historians have missed: the secret history of the most elusive
spy of all time, The Pink Carnation. But why is the very modern
Colin Selwick so determined to interfere with Eloise's research? And
why does he have to be quite so charming...?
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.
