A Scandalous Deal
Full
disclosure - I LOVE Ms. Shupe's gilded age stories. This story was no
exception. The premise, a female architect is unique. It weaves a woman's
struggle for recognition and equality amidst a male driven industry and
political corruption. The attraction between the heroine, Eva and the hero,
Phillip sizzles on the page. The writing is clear and evocative. The
descriptions put you into each scene, experiencing the action along with the
characters. Well done!
Here is the back cover copy.
They call her
Lady Unlucky…
With three
dead fiancés, Lady Eva Hyde has positively no luck when it comes to love. She
sets sail for New York City, determined that nothing will deter her dream of
becoming an architect, certainly not an unexpected passionate shipboard encounter
with a mysterious stranger. But Eva’s misfortune strikes once more when she
discovers the stranger who swept her off her feet is none other than her new
employer.
Or is it Lady
Irresistible?
Phillip
Mansfield reluctantly agrees to let the fiery Lady Eva oversee his luxury hotel
project while vowing to keep their relationship strictly professional. Yet Eva
is more capable—and more alluring—than Phillip first thought, and he cannot
keep from drawing up a plan of his own to seduce her.
When a series
of onsite “accidents” make it clear someone wants Lady Unlucky to earn her
nickname, Phillip discovers he’s willing to do anything to protect her—even if
it requires a scandalous deal…
A Scandalous
Deal is available at most book distributors
