great Joan Smith regency-not just for Christmas!
from the back cover:
At first, aspiring writer Cicely Caldwell was insulted to be asked to pose as the anonymous lady, author of the vastly popular CHAOS IS COME AGAIN, a horrid piece of gothic drivel. Then she realized such a pretense would gain her entree into the literary circles that might forward her own writing career.
Handsome Lord Montaigne confessed the real anonymous lady was his aunt and that Cicely seemed the sort of discreet country lady who would do the part justice. However, Cicely, with a nose for a good story, soon suspected the startling truth of the anonymous lady's shocking identity.
