From the Diary of Leonie Noirot: The perfect corset should invite its undoing . . . Lethally charming Simon Blair, Marquess of Lisburne, has reluctantly returned to London for one reason only: a family obligation. Still, he might make time for the seduction of a certain redheaded dressmaker—but Leonie Noirot hasn't time for him. She's obsessed with transforming his cousin, the dowdy Lady Gladys, into a swan. Leonie's skills can coax curves—and profits—from thin air, but his criminally handsome lordship is too busy trying to seduce her to appreciate her genius. He badly needs to learn a lesson, and the wager she provokes ought to teach him, once and for all. A great plan, in theory—but Lisburne's become a serious distraction and Leonie's usual logic is in danger of slipping away as easily as a silk chemise. Could the Season's greatest transformation be her own?

Lethally charming Simon Blair, Marquess of Lisburne, has reluctantly returned to London for one reason only: a family obligation. Still, he might make time for the seduction of a certain redheaded dressmaker - but Leonie Noirot hasn't time for him. She's obsessed with transforming his cousin, the dowdy Lady Gladys, into a swan. Leonie's skills can coax curves - and profits - from thin air, but his criminally handsome lordship is too busy trying to seduce her to appreciate her genius. He badly needs to learn a lesson, and the wager she provokes ought to teach him, once and for all. A great plan, in theory - but Lisburne's become a serious distraction and Leonie's usual logic is in danger of slipping away as easily as a silk chemise.

The tumultuous saga of a beautiful young woman's surrender to excitement darker than she had ever imagined -- and to a love more passionate than she had ever dreamed. A daring plot to escape an arranged marriage of convenience and a heist of the king's taxes set the stage for this atmospheric historical romance. Sending a servant girl to the altar in her place, Victoria takes on the jilted lover of her look-alike -- who turns out to be the infamous highwayman Scarblade. As fate would have it, he is none other than the very spokesman from the American colonies whose cause Victoria's father has championed, thereby losing favor with the crown.

Dari Jurnal Leonie Noirot: Korset yang sempurna harus mengundang untuk dilepaskan…. Pria yang luar biasa menawan, Simon Blair, Marquess of Lisburne, enggan kembali ke London hanya karena satu alasan: kewajiban keluarga. Namun, ia rela meluangkan waktu untuk merayu seorang modiste berambut merah, Leonie Noirot. Leonie Noirot tidak punya waktu untuk meladeni. Ia terobsesi untuk mengubah sepupu Lisburne, Lady Gladys yang berpakaian kuno itu menjadi angsa. Keterampilan Leonie mengubah lekuk tubuh dapat menjadikannya keuntungan. Namun karena terlalu sibuk berusaha merayunya, sang lord tampan lupa untuk menghargai kecerdasan wanita itu. Sebuah rencana besar, secara teori—namun Lisburne telah menyita perhatiannya. Leonie yang biasanya berpikir logis pun bisa terpeleset begitu mudah seperti kamisol sutra yang merosot. Mungkinkah transformasi terbesar Season ini akan menjadi miliknya?
