Can't Wait For: Elizabeth Hoyt's Sweetest Scoundrel (December 2015)

Available 11/24/2015


SHE'S TAKING CHARGE
Prim, proper, and thrifty, Eve Dinwoody is all business when it comes to protecting her brother's investment. But when she agrees to control the purse strings of London's premier pleasure garden, Harte's Folly, she finds herself butting heads with an infuriating scoundrel who can't be controlled.

HE'S RUNNING THE SHOW

Bawdy and bold, Asa Makepeace doesn't have time for a penny-pinching prude like Eve. As the garden's larger-than-life owner, he's already dealing with self-centered sopranos and temperamental tenors. He's not about to let an aristocratic woman boss him around . . . no matter how enticing she is.

BUT LOVE CONQUERS ALL

In spite of her lack of theatrical experience-and her fiery clashes with Asa-Eve is determined to turn Harte's Folly into a smashing success. But the harder she tries to manage the stubborn rake, the harder it is to ignore his seductive charm and raw magnetism. There's no denying the smoldering fire between them-and trying to put it out would be the greatest folly of all . . .

Elizabeth Hoyt is one of my favorite authors because of the non-mainstream heroes and heroines that she writes about.  SWEETEST SCOUNDREL is the ninth (!) book in her delightful Maiden Lane series and features one of my favorite romance novel tropes, the buttoned-up heroine and the rakish hero.  Merry Christmas to me!
