Curled up in a tight ball with her small back wedged in a corner, illuminated only by a thin sliver of crescent moon light, twelve-year-old Rylee Scott realized without a doubt that her nightmare would never end. Under the cover of darkness, no matter how much she begged and cried, she knew evil would always come through her bedroom door and steal another piece of her soul. Suddenly startled into silence, she stopped rocking and lifted her head to listen. Panic rose up and threatened to close her throat. All she could hear was the sound of her own shallow breathing and her heart quickening in her chest. She held her breath and listened intently, her wide terrified blue eyes darting back and forth. A piercing scream broke the silence as the door once again slid open to reveal a shadow looming in the moonlit darkness.
Julia Bishop has led a very sheltered life. Protected by her family from those who might ridicule her for her secrets, she stays hidden away in the country. But she longs for more, if only for an evening. To kiss a rake in full view of the stable boy. Unchaperoned picnics. Romance. But she knows she’ll never experience any of those things. That is, until a handsome duke with a mysterious past of his own arrives... Duke Jasper DeVere left London to grieve his grandfather’s death privately, away from the prying eyes and gossips of the ton. Seeking solitude at a friend’s country manor, he’s surprised he finds himself drawn to the company of the shy beauty determined to present the epitome of proper behavior. That is, until the mysterious woman makes an indecent proposal... Julia can’t believe what she’s suggested to the duke. Nor that he agrees a distraction is what they both need. But what will happen when Jasper must return to his duties and leave Julia behind? Will the memories of their time together be enough for a lifetime of solitude for either of them? Because Julia can never leave her country haven and a duke can never stay... Each book the Tale of Two Sisters series is STANDALONE: * The Importance of Being Scandalous * A Scandal By Any Other Name
