When his nephews, the Comte de Rocheforte and the Earl of Oakley, arrive for their annual holiday visit, they are drawn into a matchmaking party, of sorts. Among the unwitting guests are: Miss Fiona Chisholm, a beauty with a scandalous pastLady Cecily Tarleton, a lovely heiress—but she’s English Miss Catriona Burns, a lady with no name or fortune, so clearly someone made a mistake!As the snow piles up outside the highland castle, and the guests are forced to pass the time together, the initial dismay turns to unanticipated attractions and then irresistible passions – and indeed, there might be one LADY MOST WILLING to marry a Scottish lord.

Cleopatra Lewis er slet ikke imponeret over selskabslivet og har ingen planer om at gifte sig. I et forsøg på at skræmme mændene væk, tager hun til Quimby’s Suits for at få syet nogle virkelig usmagelige kjoler – da hun går derfra, ejer hun stedet. Amerikanske Jake Astor Addison er i London på forretningsrejse. Han bliver chokeret, da han opdager, at en kvinde lige har købt den butik, der skulle være hans næste store investering. Deres veje krydses, og snart har de en aftale ulig nogen anden. Jake kan ikke undgå at blive fascineret af Cleo og indser hurtigt, at hun har stjålet hans hjerte. Men Cleo er meget insisterende på sin egen uafhængighed og lader sig ikke charmere så let. Og med hans baggrund, har han så overhovedet en chance? Eloisa James er forfatteren, der ikke kun skriver romantiske romaner, men også underviser i Shakespeare på Fordham University. At hun har en særlig forkærlighed for den britiske dramatiker, mærkes ikke sjældent i hendes bøger. Hendes romaner er udgivet i 30 lande og solgt i over syv millioner eksemplarer verden over. Og så er hun gift med en ægte italiensk ridder "Intet trækker mig til en boghandel hurtigere end en ny roman af Eloisa James." – Julia Quinn, forfatter til Bridgerton

Cleopatra

Charlotte Daichest staat op het punt om haar debuut te maken in de bruisende high society van Londen. Maar alles verandert wanneer zij zich laat verleiden door een knappe vreemdeling op een gemaskerd bal. Een lichtzinnige daad waar niemand ooit van mag weten. Jaren gaan voorbij totdat Charlotte de vreemdeling plots weer tegen komt. Hoewel zij hem nooit vergeten is, lijkt hij haar niet eens te herkennen. Bovendien blijkt deze vreemdeling geen gewone lakei, maar een rijke graaf met een twijfelachtige reputatie. 'De geur van de nacht' (1999) is het eerste boek in de 'Eindeloos genot-trilogie' van Eloisa James. Een romantisch en toegankelijk verhaal met excentrieke karakters. Fans van Julia Quinn zullen ook zeker van dit verhaal kunnen genieten. Eloisa James is het pseudoniem van de Amerikaanse schrijfster Mary Bly. De schrijfster maakte haar debuut in 1999 met 'Geur van de nacht', het eerste deel uit de 'Eindeloos genot-trilogie'. Haar romantische verhalen spelen zich voornamelijk af in de Georgische periode (1740-1837). James haalt haar inspiratie voornamelijk uit het werk van Shakespeare en poëzie uit de zestiende eeuw.

Ladies in Waiting

Maxim Trevelyan, riluttante conte di Trevethick, ha inseguito la donna che ama fino alle terre selvagge dell'Albania. Dopo aver lottato per lei e averla conquistata, ora è costretto a sposarla secondo un rito albanese, anziché in Inghilterra, come invece desidererebbe. Ma un libertino come Maxim potrà mai essere un buon marito? E la sua stessa reputazione e i segreti scandalosi della sua famiglia aristocratica non finiranno per distruggere la sua ritrovata felicità? Alessia Demachi ha sfidato rapitori e trafficanti e ha conquistato il cuore dell'uomo che ama, ma saprà far funzionare questo matrimonio? Di fronte al torbido passato di Maxim, alla sua inaccessibile famiglia, agli sguardi e ai sussurri dell'élite londinese, riuscirà mai a essere considerata la contessa moglie di Maxim o resterà per sempre la sua ex donna delle pulizie? Dalle maestose montagne dell'Albania, attraverso l'idillica campagna inglese, fino al glamour ambiguo della Londra contemporanea, La Signora è un romanzo affascinante sull'amore, il desiderio, l'accettazione e la redenzione.
