"Romantic, feminist, and shimmers with intelligence. Let's hope Ms. Bennet keeps writing-we need more historical romance just like this!" -All About Romance James Standish knows how to play society's game. He'll follow the rules-marry a virginal debutante and inherit a massive fortune. At least, that's the plan until he meets Francesca Thorne. She's not the sort of woman a respectable gentleman like James could ever marry-not least because, strictly speaking, she's married already to James's friend Edward. Francesca is determined to flout convention and divorce her philandering husband. When James sweet-talks his way into her life-tasked with convincing Francesca to abandon her dream of freedom-she's unprepared for the passion that flares between them. Torn apart by conflicting desires, James and Francesca must choose whether to keep chasing the lives they've always wanted or to take a chance on a new and forbidden love."The Worst Woman in London is the kind of historical novel I've been dying to read."-The New York Times
