Description
USA Today-Bestselling Author: She's willing to help a dashing actor find his missing sister-but falling in love with him would be wildly improper...
Sophia Ruthven is the epitome of proper behavior. On paper at least-as long as that paper isn't from one of the lady detective stories she secretly pens. She certainly isn't interested in associating with the dashing Jasper Grey, the wayward heir to the Earl of Stanhope, and one of the stage's leading men. But when she learns Grey's younger sister Liddy has gone missing, she can't deny her desire to solve the mystery... or her attraction to the incorrigible scoundrel.
Responsibility isn't something Grey is very familiar with. On the boards and in the bedroom, he lives exactly how he wants to, shunning all the trappings of respectability and society. Grey knows he should avoid the bewitching Sophia, but he's never been able to say no to what he wants. And having Sophia in his arms and his bed is quickly becoming the thing he wants the most.
As Sophia and Grey's search for Liddy continues across the English countryside, can this scoundrel convince a proper lady that he's actually perfect for her-or will their adventure leave them both heartbroken?

Person
Fueled by Pacific Northwest coffee and inspired by multiple viewings of every British costume drama she can get her hands on, USA Today bestselling author Christy Carlyle writes sensual historical romance set in the Victorian era. She loves heroes who struggle against all odds and heroines who are ahead of their time. A former teacher with a degree in history, she finds there's nothing better than being able to combine her love of the past with a die-hard belief in happy endings.
