Scandalous Summer Nights

When she discovers that James Averill, her brother's best friend and the man she has secretly loved for years, will soon set sail for Egypt, Lady Olivia Shelbourne decides to make her move and surprises him during his exploratory trip far from home—where anything can happen. By the author of Once She Was Tempted. Original. 40,000 first printing.

Anne Barton began swiping romance novels off her mom's bookshelf as a teenager, so when she had the chance to spend a semester in London-home to her favorite heroes-she packed her bags and promptly fell in love with the city, its history, and its pubs. She dreamed of writing romance, but somehow ended up a software analyst instead.

Fortunately, a few years and a few careers later, Anne found her way back to writing the stories she loves and in 2011 won the Romance Writers of America's Golden HeartR for Regency Historical Romance. She lives in Maryland with her husband (who, sadly, is not a peer of the realm-but a great guy nonetheless) and her three children, who try valiantly not to roll their eyes whenever she quotes Jane Austen. Her weaknesses include reality TV, cute-but-impractical shoes, and caffeinated beverages of all kinds.
