About this item
Dear Reader,Long before I started writing paranormal romance, I wrote historical romance novels as Deborah Raleigh. Now I'm thrilled to share my favorites with a whole new readership, beginning with this wickedly sizzling tale of temptation. . .A successful businesswoman, Miss Jane Middleton goes to London in search of a husband—and finds herself virtually ignored by the ton. But she soon concocts a daring proposition: she will pay notorious rake "Hellion" Caulfield to strike up a flirtation with her, thus bringing her to the attention of Society's eligible gentlemen. The last thing she expects is a deliciously skillful seduction. . .The toast of the ton, charismatic Hellion has eluded marriage for years. But when Jane bursts into his life with her outrageous scheme, her provocative figure, and her captivating eyes, Hellion is stunned to realize that his jaded interest is piqued—and his pursuit of her feels all too real.
About the Author
I'm not exactly sure when I fell in love with books. Probably on my mother's knee listening to her read Dr. Seuss to me. I do remember that I was barely old enough to cross the street by myself when I discovered the delights of the local library. Could anything be more wonderful than spending summer days surrounded by stacks of Nancy Drew mysteries? Over the years I fell in love with Victoria Holt, Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, and J.R.R. Tolkien just to name a few. I read poetry, essays, biographies, and plays. In fact, I read anything I could get my hands on. Years later (no, I'm not admitting how many) I'm still an avid reader, and my tastes are still as varied as they were in my youth, which I suppose helps to explain why I enjoy writing regency historicals under the name of Deborah Raleigh, as well as my contemporary paranormals as Alexandra Ivy. For now that is enough to keep me busy, but who knows what the future might hold!I do have a few other loves in my life besides reading and writing, the most important being my unbelievably patient husband, David, and my two sons, Chance and Alexander. Without their constant support and belief in me, I never could have been able to follow my dreams. They are truly my heroes. --From authors website--
