Infamous (Rebels of the Ton)
A prank gone awry changes lives in this delightful Regency romance. In her first Season, beautiful Celia Trent became a pawn in the Duke of Dowden’s cruel society games; the scandal sheets dubbed her “Lady Infamous.” Now facing poverty due to her father’s gaming debts, Celia agrees to Dowden’s demand to create a particularly brutal “joke”—a note that goes astray and results in the forced marriage of wallflower Phyllida Singleton and highly desirable Viscount Redvers.
When Society discovers that Lady Infamous has gone far too far, Celia’s forced by lack of both money and reputation to change her name and take a position as an elderly lady’s companion. Unfortunately, one Christmas Celia’s employer is invited to Viscount Redvers’ country seat for the holiday, and, there, events take a series of twists and turns that may lead to justice and love, or to utter ruin when everyone’s darkest secrets are exposed.
Perfect for fans of Bridgerton, Infamous is also a charming story for Christmas. In fact, I enjoyed Infamous so much that when I was halfway through it, I ordered the author’s first novel, Dangerous. I look forward to reading much more of Minerva Spencer’s work.
