Eloisa James – författare

När Cleopatra Lewis köper Quimbys teaterkostymer är det med ett enda mål; att se till så att hon kan få fula klänningar när hon vill. Hon vill inte imponera på societetens män, tvärtom! Amerikanen Jake Astor Addison är i London för att göra affärer och blir chockad när han inser att en kvinna just köpt butiken som var tänkt att bli hans nästa stora investering.

Deras vägar korsas och snart har de en överenskommelse som inte liknar någon annan. Jake kan inte låta bli att fascineras av Cleo och inser snart att hon har stulit hans hjärta. Men Cleo värnar starkt om sin självständighet och låter sig inte charmas så lätt. Och med den bakgrund han har, har han ens en chans?

Cleopatra är härlig och humoristisk romance i det sena 1800-talets societet i London, och är den första boken i serien Wallflower.

Lady Yasmin Régnier har ett rykte som föregår henne, bär vågade klänningar och flörtar hejdlöst med alla societetens män. Giles Renwick däremot är seriös, plikttrogen och har aldrig gjort sig till för en kvinna. Men när de två dansar aftonens första dans med varandra händer något mellan dem. Den lekfulla tillvaron övergår plötsligt i något helt annat - något mycket allvarligare och inte helt lämpligt.

Giles kan trots vad han har föresatt sig inte hålla sig borta från lady Yasmin. Men vad är det egentligen han dras till? Hon är otänkbar som både hustru och älskarinna. Och de kan absolut inte vara vänner eftersom de häftigt ogillar varandra! Så vad i himlens namn är det som får honom att be om hennes hand? Och vad ska han ta sig till om hon tackar ja?
