All's fair in love and meddling amongst the members of New York Times bestselling author Victoria Alexander's Lady Travelers Society!

 Unmarried and dedicated to illustrating the Explorers Club's artifacts, Dulcie Middleworth is running out of prospects. Spinsterhood's a tragedy for the daughter of a viscount, but London's most eligible maiden has a secret: she's already in love. But to confess an attraction to charming explorer Michael Shepard? Not when the man has no wish to marry and his heart's desire lies in adventure abroad.

 Surely, such a predicament calls for a matchmaker of Poppy Fitzhew-Wellmore's caliber! And calls as well for a romantic rival-the legendary figment of Poppy's imagination Reginald Everheart-to nudge Michael's affections in Dulcie's direction. But what to do when everyone demands to meet the famously infamous suitor who doesn't really exist?

The Rise And Fall Of Reginald Everheart

Londres, 1818. A vingt-quatre ans, Pandora Effington entame sans enthousiasme sa septième saison. Les mauvaises langues commencent à jaser: sept saisons et toujours célibataire... Pourtant, les prétendants ne manquent pas car elle n'a rien d'un laideron. En outre, sa fortune est considérable. Raison de plus, à son avis, pour ne pas se jeter au cou du premier venu. Si Pandora se marie, ce sera par amour. Certainement pas avec quelqu'un d'aussi odieux que cet insupportable comte de Trent! Maximillian insiste cependant. Que Pandora le traite de brute, de débauché et de canaille semble l'amuser au plus haut point. Lorsqu'elle lui propose une épreuve, il relève le défi. S'il triomphe, il l'épousera. Sinon, c'est elle qui choisira sa future femme. Perdre un tel pari? Pour Maximillian, il n'en est pas question!

Worse, her stories-serialized in newspapers and reprinted in books-are complete rubbish.

 Miss Sidney Honeywell didn't set out to deceive anyone. It's not her fault readers assumed her Tales of a Lady Adventurer in Egypt were real!
