Brighton Beauty - A Regency Romance

BRIGHTON BEAUTY is a Regency Romance set near the walled city of Chester in England. Chelsea hadn't planned to be a deceiver. She had been the prettiest—and most penniless—young lady at Miss Farringdon's Academy in Brighton. Befriending spoiled heiress Alayna Marchmont and telling her about a family scandal was a schoolgirl's naïve mistake. Now, Alayna has blackmailed Chelsea into spending a dull month in the country with Alayna's elderly aunt while pretending to be Alayna! Since both girls are blonde and a similar size, to succeed at the trickery should be easy!

The scheme might have worked but for the arrival of Aunt Millicent's son, Lord Rathbone, who arrives in England to claim his bride, Miss Marchmont, sight unseen. Rathbone is not disappointed with his "fiancée." Although she resists her feelings, Chelsea is falling in love with the handsome, albeit misled, nobleman. This foolish masquerade could lead to disaster, unless a resourceful Brighton Beauty can find a way to call a halt to it without losing a handsome lord's love. Available in Ebook, Print and Audio online. (Also in Ebook as A PRETTY PUZZLE)
