<CENTER>A Woman With A Secret</CENTER>

Victoria Ashton has intelligence and ambition--qualities of little value to most marriage-minded gentlemen of the ton. Her own father has no idea of Victoria's hidden life as an anonymous trader in London's stock market. But her hopes of independence are shattered when her father's enemy, Blake Mallorey, assumes Charles Ashton's debts and presents Victoria with a stark choice: live with him as his mistress for one year, or condemn her family to bankruptcy.

<CENTER>A Gentleman With Resolve</CENTER>

For years Blake has dreamed of justice, and his scheme becomes all the sweeter when he sees the beauty that Victoria has become. Scoundrel he may be, but Blake will not force anyone into his bed. He intends to entice Victoria, one wicked kiss at a time. But with a woman as spirited and sensual as Victoria, seduction works both ways--and a plan rooted in revenge can blossom into a scandalous passion. . .

      Victoria Ashton hoped that after 10 years everyone might have forgotten the scandal. On that account, Victoria proved to be sadly mistaken. Not only did Blake Mallorey remember but he also blames Victorias family for the entire affair, and Blake intends on seeing to it that they pay. After buying up all of her fathers outstanding loans, Blake informs Victoria that he intends to financially destroy her family unless Victoria agrees to become his mistress. Even though Victoria has a much better head for figures than most men, the amount of money she has secretly invested in Londons Stock Exchange isnt nearly enough to pay back Blake, leaving her no other option but to agree to Blakes terms. Gabrielle deftly enhances the plot with intriguing details about the Regency stock market, and her well-executed literary debut is certain to delight readers who relish dangerous and sexy Regency historicals.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2009, American Library Association.)
