Synopsis

The chase is on in award-winning author Amanda Forester's brand-new Regency romance series!

A sizzling scandal just waiting to happen...

Orphaned at a young age, Lady Katherine Ashton and her brother have spent most of their lives on the high seas, seeking to restore their family fortune through somewhat dubious means. After that kind of adventure, Kate knows she won't ever be accepted as a proper society lady.

To the annoyingly clever, temptingly handsome, and altogether troublesome Earl of Wynbrook, society ladies are a dead bore. Kate, on the other hand, is scandalous, alluring, and altogether fascinating. And Kate can't decide which she relishes more, the thrill of chasing fearsome pirates, or having Wynbrook chase after her...

"Sparkles with humor and a delightful cast of characters." -RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars for A Midsummer Bride
"A scintillating Regency romance full of festive fun, intrigue, and subterfuge!" -Fresh Fiction on A Winter Wedding

About this title

About the Author:

Amanda Forester holds a Ph.D. in psychology and worked for many years in academia before discovering that writing historical romance novels was decidedly more fun. Whether in the Highland hills or a Regency ballroom, Forester's novels offer fast-paced adventures filled with wit, intrigue, and romance. She lives with her supportive husband and naturally brilliant children in the Pacific Northwest.

Review:

"The story is well-paced and absorbing, the characters complicated and likable, and the prose straightforward and clear." - Kirkus

"Forester (The Highlander's Bride), a champ at crafting feisty and independent Regency-era women, has outdone herself..." - Publishers Weekly

"Once again, Forester earns top marks for her spunky heroines and their men who need to be taught a thing or two (usually at the expense of their pride, and by said spunky heroines). Forester's gift for humor and creating memorable characters who have survived wrenching tragedy sparkle like gems in this newest romp through the ton's drawing rooms." - RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars

"Forester combines romantic tension with over-the-top adventures in this witty read for historical-romance fans who like a touch of mystery. A cast of engaging secondary characters will have readers eagerly waiting for the next book in Forester's new Regency romance series, the Daring Marriages." - Booklist

"Forester knows what she's doing and she does it incredibly well. If the Earl Only Knew was both enchanting and delightfully refreshing. " - Herding Cats & Burning Soup

"I highly recommend IF THE EARL ONLY KNEW. This is a story with lots of adventures, mysteries, secrets, fun and romance. I can't wait to read the next one in the series." - Fresh Fiction
