Über dieses E-Book

Join bestselling author Stella Cameron as
she returns to 7 Mayfair Square, the elegant
London town house where matchmaking
and mayhem are always in the air.


Why would England’s "Most Daring Lover" risk his reputation
by falling madly in love with a nobody, a shabbily dressed
milliner’s assistant who lived in poverty—and was clearly in
trouble? Because Latimer More of 7A Mayfair Square saw
something in Jenny McBride, an orphaned Scottish lass, that
nobody else had: unsinkable optimism, a brave spirit and a
face that haunted his dreams.


Jenny was amazed by Latimer’s advances. He fascinated her, but
surely he couldn’t really be interested in her? Besides, she had
more pressing concerns. She was fighting off the attentions of
a cruel man who wanted to claim her in exchange for canceling
her debts.


Jenny would not involve Latimer in the dangerous game that
threatened her. But Latimer would not abandon Jenny. The
result? A madcap race against time and danger, upheaval at
Number 7, and an unlikely match that could not be more
perfect—or challenging!

Autoren-Profil

Stella Cameron was born and raised on the southern coast of England where she met her American husband at a party in London. After their marriage, she left England and went with husband Jerry to Washington State to make a home and raise a family. Like many authors, Stella began her literary career as a reader. As a young girl, Stella was a self-professed reading "addict", devouring all types of literature. She learned very early to retreat from the demands of others into a gentler world -- her own. As a child and a young adult, books saved her because they helped free her while they entertained her. Her love of reading always went side-by-side with her love of writing. Nineteenth-century author Jane Austen was a particular favorite, and Stella admits that she particularly enjoys reading and writing books set in the 1800s, as well as contemporary novels. In 1980, Stella decided she wanted to write professionally. She attended writing classes and wrote short literary fiction for a year. It was during this period that Stella discovered how well-written and intense romantic fiction could be. Using her newly acquired writing skills, she began to write contemporary romantic fiction for Harlequin Americans and Intrigues. After several years, she moved up to Harlequin SuperRomances. In 1992, she made the switch to single titles with her first historical, Only By Your Touch. She has also authored a series entitled Rossmara Quartet along with several other romance titles. Stella Cameron sees herself as an entertainer and historian who adds her perspective to contemporary values through writing.
