From award-winning New York Times bestselling author Betina Krahn comes a beguiling new romance brimming with her signature wit, timeless sensuality, and thrilling romance-as desire proves to be a great equalizer. Daisy Bumgarten isn't thrilled to be trying to catch a duke's attention while dressed like a flower pot caught in a swarm of butterflies. But, after all, when in Rome (or in this case London society).. Since her decidedly disastrous debut among New York's privileged set, the sassy Nevada spitfire's last chance to "marry well" lies across the pond, here in England. If she must restrain her free spirit, not to mention her rib cage, so be it. She knows she owes it to her three younger sisters to succeed. Now, under a countess's tutelage, Daisy appears the perfect duchess-in-training.Until notorious ladies' man Lord Ashton Graham, a distraction of the most dangerous kind, glimpses her mischievous smile and feisty nature-and attempts to unmask her motives. Daisy has encountered snakes on the range, but one dressed to the nines in an English drawing room is positively unnerving-and maddeningly seductive. When a veiled plot emerges to show up Daisy as unworthy of the aristocracy, will Ashton be her worst detractor? Or the nobleman she needs most of all?

      Krahn’s first Sin & Sensibility Victorian romance is a fine beginning to a promising series. Wealthy Daisy Bumgarten has been shunned by New York high society for her new money and brazen, uncouth ways. She travels to London for a fresh start, planning to marry a nobleman and pave the way for her three younger sisters to do the same. She has hopes of landing Arthur Graham, the Duke of Meridian, but her plans are thwarted when his younger brother, Ashton, an impoverished scoundrel, agrees to assist his conniving relatives by seducing Daisy and discrediting her claims of having noble English ancestry. Ashton has always been protective of his bookworm older brother and refuses to let anyone manipulate him for his title. As Daisy and Ashton each seek to conclusively prove or disprove her heritage, respectively, they uncover more common interests and goals—including their intense attraction to each other—than historical documents, but familial obligations and Arthur’s growing interest in Daisy hinder their chance at happiness. Full of wit, deceit, manipulation, and a thoroughly entertaining mix of American and English cultural references, this amusing romance has set the bar high for the sequels. Agent: Gail Fortune, Talbot Fortune Agency.

Impulsive and warmhearted as a girl can be, she transforms herself into a worthy candidate for a titled husband. Narrator Jill Tanner gives Daisy a warm, throaty voice and Western accent that draw both Lord Ashton Graham and his brother, the duke, into her snare. Ashton is worldly and handsome as the devil himself. Flirting with him and hearing his seductive voice has Daisy second- guessing herself on whom to marry. Betina Krahn's new over-the-top historical romance is boosted by Jill Tanner's narration skills. A.M.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
