Scandalizing the Ton

October 15, 2008
Ever since her husbands scandalous death, the beautiful Lady Lydia Wexin finds herself hunted down by gossip-hungry reporters. While out on the town one day, Lydia is rescued from a particularly pushy journalist by notorious rake Adrian Pomroy, Viscount Cavanley. After Adrian sees Lydia safely home, the two, not expecting to ever meet again, share one unforgettable night of passion. But when Lydia discovers she is pregnant, she once again finds herself the object of scandal as both the press and society try to find out exactly who is responsible for her delicate new condition: Lydias late husband or her mysterious new lover. In her latest impeccably crafted historical Regency, Gaston deftly matches up a delightfully different plot and a cast of superbly nuanced, realistically complex characters to create a quietly compelling romance.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
