All The World's A Stage
Celia St. Lys has risen above the secrets of her past and transformed herself into the most beautiful and gifted actress on the London stage. Her glamorous career is the love of her life, and she deftly eludes the clutches of her many suitors. But even she can't deny the lure of one roguish theatre patron. In her game of feigned seduction, she may have finally met her match. . .
Except In The Bedroom
In order to claim his inheritance, Lord Simon Ascot must find a proper bride. And there's certainly nothing proper about the fiery actress who's turning the head of every well-born man in London. As Simon and Celia resist both decorum and lust, they'll find there's pleasure to be had in wanting what they cannot have. . .
Praise for The Pleasure of Bedding a Baroness
"For fans of charming, madcap stories with happily-ever-after endings, Lejeune's latest is pleasing." --RT Book Reviews
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lejeune's latest Regency offering pairs an English lord with a beautiful actress in a romance fraught with untruths and misunderstandings. Celia St. Lys is the toast of Drury Lane, but her carefree attitude hides shrewd business sense as she seeks to preserve her status. Lord Simon Ascot steels himself to approach her after three years apart, hoping to have her return a necklace to the peer who gave it to her. Their mutual dislike is balanced by mutual desire. A subplot involving Celia's acquaintance with Simon's older brother, the duke of Berkshire, adds depth. Witty repartee and clever character development fill the pages, making this romance read more like historical fiction as lovemaking takes a backseat to the creative banter.
