Overview

It isn’t Marianne Arnet’s fault that her parents are reputed to be spies for Napoleon and have fled Regency England. Now the handsome and powerful Lord Whitestone is threatening to bar her from the upcoming London Season and deny her a longed-for chance to mingle in the literary world.

But it will take more than an arrogant nobleman to thwart Marianne. If she can’t move among the ton under her own name, she’ll take another identity to claim her place. And if, in doing so, she draws the attention of the Marquis of Whitestone, let him take care!

Yet there are perils in pursuing such a bold course. For Marianne soon finds herself dangerously close to falling in love with a man who will loathe her beyond measure as soon as he learns who she really is.

    Clever and Witty

    Jacqueline Diamond pens a clever tale with the sworn enemy theme with great wit and engaging dialogue. Jeremy, Lord Whitestone is a gallant alpha hero and unpredictable Marianne never ceases to delight in this tale of secret letters, deception and deep passion. Plot twists and new revelations kept me turning the pages. A thoroughly entertaining read!! Charlene Sands

    Unusual and Delightful

    A Lady of Letters was a delightful and unusual romp unlike any Regency I'd ever read before. (And I've read hundreds.) I sped through it until the end, enjoying the story all the way. I can see I'll be working my way through the rest of Jacqueline Diamond's Regency romances.
