Beguiling the Beauty by Sherry Thomas
Are you a fan of historical romance books? You might enjoy Sherry Thomas’ latest offering, Beguiling the Beauty, which is the start of a new historical romance series. In this steamy tale, the Duke of Lexington meets the beautiful Baroness von Seidlitz-Hardenberg while on a transatlantic voyage. He’s enchanted by her, and proposes marriage… only to have the Baroness disappear. It’s a case of secret identities, as the Baroness is actually Venetia Easterbrook – the very same young woman that the Duke became obsessed with at age 19. At the time, Venetia was married, and the Duke came to some (unflattering and erroneous) conclusions about Venetia’s character. Now divorced, Venetia had planned to impersonate the Baroness and instigate the relationship with the Duke on the ship’s journey for her own vengeful reasons – but she finds herself caught in a trap of her own making when she falls hopelessly in love with him, and is doing her best to avoid a complete disaster when she’s finally unmasked. This historical romance series continues with Ravishing the Heiress and Tempting the Bride.
