MY LADY GLORIANA
by Sylvia Halliday
Diversion Books
The year is 1725. Lady Gloriana Baniard is a beautiful fish out
of water. Brought up on the mean streets of London, she is a brash, blunt,
obscene force of nature. But thanks to a brief marriage to a disgraced
aristocrat, she is forced to live with his noble family and endure the
humiliating process of learning to be a lady. Rebelling, she runs away to
Yorkshire, where she intends to be a blacksmith, a skill at which she excels.
She knows she’ll need a manservant to front for her. When John Thorne appears,
she hires him, stirred as much by his irresistible attraction as by his
strength.
John Haviland, Duke of Thorneleigh, is an arrogant, indolent
gambler and womanizer. Having seen Gloriana just once, he yearns to make her
his own. When he learns she has run away from her family, he makes a wild bet
with his wastrel companions—he will find the lady and bed her. Disguised as a
humble servant, he becomes her assistant, learning the blacksmith trade. The
clash of wills between these two proud people creates more sparks than a
blacksmith’s anvil, as Gloriana learns to be a lady, Thorne learns humility—and
desire deepens to love.
Amazing, atmospheric cover, Sylvia! Can't wait to read this
