From the Design Book of Marcelline Noirot:
The allure of the perfect gown should be twofold:
ladies would die to wear it . . .
and gentlemen would kill to remove it!
Brilliant and ambitious dressmaker Marcelline Noirot is London’s rising star. And who better to benefit from her talent than the worst-dressed lady in the ton, the Duke of Clevedon’s intended bride? Winning the future duchess’s patronage means prestige and fortune for Marcelline and her sisters. To get to the lady, though, Marcelline must win over Clevedon, whose standards are as high as his morals are . . . not.
The prize seems well worth the risk—but this time Marcelline’s met her match. Clevedon can design a seduction as irresistible as her dresses; and what begins as a flicker of desire between two of the most passionately stubborn charmers in London soon ignites into a delicious inferno . . . and a blazing scandal.
And now both their futures hang by an exquisite thread of silk . . .
I keep reading Loretta Chase books in hopes of finding the next Lord of Scoundrels type book that I will absolutely love and this one sounds like it just might be that book. I’m really looking forward to reading this book and I can’t wait to start it. This book comes out on June 28, 2011 so mark your calendars!
This book is available from Avon. You can buy it here or here in e-format.
I haven’t read MANY Loretta Chase but I can’t wait for Silk for Seduction.
And with such a fantastic cover I’m itching to touch that pretty dress of the cover
Interesting, very interesting… I have never read Lord of Scoundrels though. I tried once but didn’t get far.
Ooh, this sounds fantastic. I actually loathed Lord of Scoundrels to a disturbing degree. The only other Chase book I read was Your Scandalous Ways, which I loved. But I was so burned by LoS that I’ve been hesitant to try anything else. I’m seriously considering this one.
