The Footman (Masqueraders) by S. M. LaViolette [Paperback]

Description: Lady Elinor wants nothing to do with love. Her arranged marriage-and one glorious but ill-fated kiss with a handsome footman-cured her of any romantic notions she'd ever entertained. Now a widow, all Elinor plans to do is rebuild her life-without a man in it. She certainly has no intention of falling for the charming and entirely too tempting American who seems so determined to win her favor … Stephen Worth is no longer the impoverished footman who lost everything because of the impulsive actions of a reckless young lady. Having reinvented himself long ago, his sole focus now is revenge. He'll do whatever it takes to exact a pound of flesh from all who wronged him so long ago. And if that means ruining the lovely Elinor in the process? So be it. But it's not long before Elinor finds herself drawn to Stephen despite her best intentions-and before Stephen starts to wonder if maybe a life with Elinor is worth more than his revenge. Can Stephen and Elinor overcome their painful pasts and take a second chance on love? Or is the cost of trust simply more than they're willing to pay? Praise for The Outcasts: "Spencer's brilliant and original tale of the high seas bursts with wonderfully real protagonists, plenty of action, and passionate romance." ¿Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW "Fans of Amanda Quick's early historicals will find much to savor." ¿Booklist STARRED REVIEW "Sexy, witty, and fiercely entertaining." ¿Kirkus STARRED REVIEW "[A] suavely sophisticated hero with sex appeal to spare, and a cascade of lushly detailed love scenes give Spencer's dazzling debut its deliciously fun retro flavor." ¿Booklist STARRED REVIEW Praise for A FIGURE OF LOVE, Book 2 in THE ACADEMY OF LOVE series: "A consistently entertaining read. Serena's past provides an exciting twist that will satisfy readers looking for something a little different in the historical romance genre." Kirkus Reviews "An offbeat story that offers unexpected twists on a familiar setup." Kirkus Reviews SM LaViolette also writes under the name Minerva Spencer. SM has been a criminal prosecutor, college history teacher, B&B operator, dock worker, ice cream manufacturer, reader for the blind, motel maid, and bounty hunter. Okay, so the part about being a bounty hunter is a lie. SM does, however, know how to hypnotize a Dungeness crab, sew her own Regency Era clothing, knit a frog hat, juggle, rebuild a 1959 American Rambler, and gain control of Asia (and hold on to it) in the game of RISK.
