More About This Book

Overview

The New York Times bestselling author brings back the most beloved family in romance!

Damaris Myddleton never expected to inherit a vast fortune-but she's ready to use it to buy the most eligible title in England. In comes Mr. Fitzroger, the dashing but penniless adventurer who first saves her from social disaster, and then saves her life. Now, trapped in mystery, danger, and forbidden intimacy, Damaris fights not to surrender her freedom and her heart to a most unsuitable man.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble Review
Jo Beverley returns to the world of the Mallorens and Georgian England in a satisfying romantic historical that begins in humiliation and ends in triumph. Damaris Myddleton, who grew up humbly, recently inherited her late father's fortune and is determined to have a titled husband to go with her new wealth. She is embarrassed beyond belief when her fiancé, Lord Ashart, publicly rejects her for his true love. His close friend, Fitzroger, is unsuitability personified -- dishonored, disgraced, and penniless -- but eager to ease Damaris's humiliation through a faked flirtation, which takes on a life of its own. While Fitz has secretly been asked by the Crown to protect Ashart, he also discovers that someone is trying to kill Damaris. Only by uncovering both state and family secrets can the couple clear the path to their future. Ginger Curwen
Library Journal
When newly rich Damaris Myddleton is rejected by the Marquess of Ashart and flees the Malloren holiday gathering, Octavius Fitzroger, a close friend of Ashart, literally rides to her rescue and keeps her from making an even bigger fool of herself. Chafing under the guardianship of her uncle, Damaris pleads with Rothgar, the Malloren family patriarch, to take on the role. He agrees, but when he insists that she and Ashart's new fiancEe make their appearance at the Queen's Birthday Ball in three weeks-and Octavius decides that he needs to protect her from fortune hunters as well as keeping Ashart safe from a would-be assassin-the stage is set for some lively adventures. Picking up exactly where Winter Fire leaves off, Beverley turns a rejected "other woman" into a fiery, outspoken, sympathetic heroine; pairs her with a dashing but penniless, scandal-ridden hero; and lets the fun-and the danger-begin. Once again readers are treated to a delightful, intricately plotted, and sexy romp set in the slightly bawdy Georgian world of Beverley's beloved "Malloren Chronicles." Beverley lives in Canada.

Jo Beverley
Jo Beverley
One of the premiere writers of historical romances, Jo Beverley is the recipient of numerous awards including several RITAs from The Romance Writers of America and awards from Romantic Times, including two Career Achievement awards. She is a member of the RWA Honor Roll, and the RWA Hall of Fame.

Biography

Jo Beverley is one the few authors writing English-set historical romance who is English. She was born and raised in England, and has a degree in English history from Keele University in Staffordshire. She and her husband emigrated to Canada in 1975 where they raised their two children. In 2009, the couple returned to England.

Though Jo started to write as a young child, it was only in the '80s that she began to think that it was something ordinary people could do, and after a talk at a local library, she settled to seriously writing her first historical romance.

Now, she is the author of over thirty romance novels and many novellas, which have garnered several RITAs from the Romance Writers of America, as well as several awards from Romantic Times, including two Career Achievement awards. She is a member of the RWA Honor Roll, and the RWA Hall of Fame.

Good To Know

Some fascinating outtakes from our interview with Jo Beverley:

"I'm English, born, raised, and educated, which has to contribute to the way I write my books."

"My profession -- once upon a time in another world -- was careers guidance, which involved visiting many different workplaces and learning about the jobs done there. This is a great education in the variety and complexity of life."

"I taught women-centered childbirth classes for 5 years, and that comes out in any childbirth scenes in my books.

"I'm a craft-dabbler, and I've tried most of them, including Tenerife lace, tatting, leatherwork, and stained glass, but I've never stuck with any. However, I once was a very good painter and I've recently decluttered all my craft materials to concentrate on drawing and painting as my artistic therapy for a demented author."

"I grew up in Morecambe, Lancashire, which is a 19th-century seaside town, but that's very close to Heysham, an ancient coastal village. They say the pre-Conquest church there is the oldest one in England still in use and there are stone-age tombs as well. We used to play on an Anglo-Saxon hogs-back stone near the church. I'm sure this easy contact with such ancient things tuned my mind to the past. I set my second book, The Stanforth Secrets, in Heysham, and it will be reissued in 2010." "My indulgences are really good cheese, bread, wine, coffee, and dark, dark chocolate (90% Lindt."

    Possibly the best Malloren book

    I really liked this. I was nervous it would be too much of a tangent from the Malloren books, but just like Winter Fire the Malloren story didn't overshadow these characters, the story was intriguing and exciting. Fitzroger may be one of my all time favorite romantic heroes -- he's in close competition with Cyn. The chemistry between the two lovers was excellent and I was thrilled that the epilogue gave such a good wrap-up.

    fine Georgian romance

    In 1763 wealthy Damaris Myddleton is stunned when Marquess Ashart proposes to poor companion Genova Smith instead of her. She had set her sights on him and thought he would marry her if for no other reason than he needs money. Realizing she made a fool of herself, she flees, but is stopped by Ash¿s pal impoverished former soldier Octavius Fitzroger, who persuades her to hold her head up high. She turns to her host Lord Rothgar, family patriarch and asks him to be her guardian instead of the elderly avaricious Henry Malloren; he agrees with the stipulation that she serve as companion to Genova.--- Rothgar also hired Fitzroger to keep Ash safe from an unknown assailant. As Fitz watches over Ash and Damaris spends time with Genova, they become acquainted and begin to fall in love, which interferes with his task. It helps though frustrates Fitz that she wants a title so he is A MOST UNSUITABLE MAN for a social climber like her.--- The latest Malloren tale is a fine Georgian romance but readers at first will be very cold towards the heroine until she is endangered. The story line is fast-paced on two sub-plots that of the romance between Fitz and Damaris and the attempts to kill Ash. Jo Beverley effortlessly brings these two themes together along with the return of cast from previous novels into a finely honed historical.--- Harriet Klausner
