Book description
One spectacular Christmas, Miss Perdita 'Poppy' Selby met the man she
thought she would love forever. The devilishly attractive Duke of
Fletcher was everything the convent-educated girl wished for in a suitor
and their wedding day was perfect. Unfortunately, no one had quite
prepared Poppy for what would happen next. Four years later, Poppy and
the duke have become the toast of High Society but behind closed doors
the spark of their love affair has burned out. Fortunately, Poppy has a
friend in Jemma, the Duchess of Beaumont. Jemma, who is toying with
another man herself, reveals to Poppy a world of strategy and desire
that will change Poppy's whole outlook on love forever. After
graduating from Harvard University, Eloisa got an M. Phil. from Oxford
University, a Ph. D. from Yale and eventually became a Shakespeare
professor. Currently she is the Director of Creative Writing in the
English Department at Fordham University in New York City. She lives and
writes in New Jersey with her husband, a Dante scholar and Italian
knight, and their two children.
