A Sexy Victorian Era Historical Romance \\\_ Praise for previous Scandalous series: If you haven't started this series, start right now and you will fall in love with this very unconventional family during a time when rules, etiquette and unwritten rules had to be followed or the lack of them would bring scandal and ruin to an entire family. I love these books. Tracy creates these characters so well and with such care. I really recommend reading this series. I am overwhelmed by how much I have enjoyed this series so far. It was not superficial fluff as I thought it might be when I began. Cooper-Posey books have touched on so many universal themes. Her characters are admirable people who love their family and are capable of deep romantic love as well. I just love this series and the books just keep getting better and better. This series takes us on a romp through historical times, which I love. If you haven't read this magnificent series you must do so now; you will love each story, be moved by each of them, fall in love with the heroines and heroes, you will cheer for them and just as loudly boo the villains. Love this series and have bought them all. This entire series is filled with so much love for each other and family, that there is no way you cannot be emotionally drawn into each story. \\\_ Tracy Cooper-Posey is a #1 Best Selling Author.

At the altar, facing marriage to a foreign Duke, Ann flees… Ann Thomsett, a descendant of royalty but a commoner herself, has worked to find a high-ranking husband to help the family restore its badly tarnished reputation. On the verge of her marriage to a Norwegian noble, though, she flees the cathedral with the help of a most unexpected ally; Adam Martell Davies. Adam is technically a member of the great family, but dislikes his English cousins and their ways, and much prefers to spend his time alone with his thoughts. During a rainy afternoon at Innesford, he is forced to endure Ann’s company and finds it not completely intolerable, after all. So when Ann throws herself at him, begging him to help her escape her Duke, Adam does. The pair dash across Europe, chased by the Duke’s men and rabid journalists who report the romantic couple’s affair to the newspapers of Europe. No one seems to care that they are nothing but friends… This book is part of the Scandalous Family—The Victorians series. This is the second spin-off series to feature a new generation of the Great Family, who are now scattering across Europe and beyond in search of adventure…and love.
