Book description
No debutante was ever more desperate to escape the clutches of a
detestable suitor than Fanny Brightwell but will she find the burning
kisses of her secret lover worth the price?With just weeks before the
end of the Season, London's most daring debutante Miss Fanny Brightwell
must contract a brilliant match or face the consequences-marriage to the
pestilential Lord Slyther. When Fanny unexpectedly participates in a
night of stupendous passion with the delectable but notorious rake,
Viscount Fenton, his offer of a carte blanche instead of holy matrimony
ignites more than just a polite refusal. The time has come for Fanny to
take the reins. _x000D_ Beverley Oakley's life is a romantic story as
well as a professional one. She is a passionate romance novelist-the
author of three books-a reviewer, and she has worked as a journalist,
editor and proofreader on newspapers and magazines throughout Australia.
After leaving her job as a features writer on a major metropolitan
newspaper, she became a safari lodge manager in the Okavango Delta,
Botswana, where she met her handsome Norwegian husband, a pilot. She
joined him in the skies for the next few years, operating the computer
equipment in the back of low-flying aircraft during contracts as an
airborne geophysical survey operator in Namibia, Greenland and French
Guyana. In 2000 she returned to Australia and a job as editor of
Australia's top-selling craft magazine Australian Country Craft &
Decorating. Later, she worked as a journalist for WA's Homes &
Living magazine and as a proofreader for the international dining guide,
The Entertainment Book. Beverley's third Regency Historical Romance, A
Little Deception has just been published, in hardcover, under the name
Beverly Eikli, by Robert Hale. Her second novel, Lady Farquhar's
Butterfly, was republished in large print by FA Thorpe earlier this
year.
