Julia Justiss - A Scandalous Proposal



Disowned! But deeply in love! Emily Spencer was both when she eloped to the Continent with her handsome young soldier. Now widowhood had brought her back to England - and into the arms of Evan Mansfield, the dashing Earl of Cheverley, who willingly gave her his heart...but could never give her his name!

Elemental and eternal... Such was the passion Emily Spencer inspired in Evan Mansfield. Surely this woman was his destiny, his forever love, despite her lack of aristocratic ties. But honor and a deathbed promise demanded he bind himself in marriage to another - and abandon the only joy he'd ever known!

Julia Justiss - My Lady's Honor



Publisher's Weekly
Seldom have a hero and heroine been so mismatched. Intrepid, clearheaded and newly orphaned, Gwennor Southford flees her home when her cousin threatens to marry her to a stodgy neighbor and imprison her simple brother in the attic. To escape with her brother to Harrowgate, Gwen travels with a gypsy caravan, knowing that her stainless reputation will suffer should anyone discover her disguise. Arrogant, stubborn and priggish Viscount St. Abrams recognizes Gwen as the gypsy girl who danced for him several weeks ago. Incensed that this jezebel is passing herself off as a pure lady-and that she's trying to snare his best friend into marriage-St. Abrams decides to "save" his friend and make her his mistress. Despite her rejection of his dishonorable offer, St. Abrams presses his attack, convinced that she's a scheming jade, a con artist and possibly a thief. It's only when a fellow nobleman explains that gypsies aren't promiscuous that St. Abrams starts to believe in her virtue and therefore in her ability to be a proper wife. While Gwen may easily forgive St. Abrams's close-mindedness, readers will not. St. Abrams is one of the more unlovable heroes ever to grace the pages of a romance novel, and readers will likely find themselves rooting for the couple to stay apart rather than come together.

Julia Justiss - My Lady's Trust





Publisher's Weekly
Jane Austen-like in its assured, subtle pacing and keen awareness of the barriers between the social classes, this absorbing romance is a testament to Justiss's increasing skill. Though Justiss (The Proper Wife) pulls several stock ingredients from the Regency pantry the nobleman who secretly assists the government, the gently bred lady who conceals her beauty, the dreadful secret from the past that haunts them she allows emotional urgency, not flashy and unlikely drama, to propel the reader toward the story's climax. Drawn out of London to the countryside by news of a hunting accident, Beau Bradsleigh, Earl of Beaulieu, discovers Mrs. Laura Martin, a withdrawn young "widow" with a mysterious past, tending to his brother's wounds. Beau's initial interest in the puzzle of her past quickly turns into fascination with Laura herself. She reciprocates his feelings but conceals the truth from him for fear that her abusive husband, from whom she's been hiding and who travels in Beau's social circles, will find her if she becomes Beau's mistress. While convincingly outlining Laura's dread of her husband, Justiss deftly depicts Beau and Laura's blossoming romance. With this exceptional Regency-era romance, Justiss adds another fine feather to her writing cap. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
