Authors: Sherry Thomas
Sherry Thomas burst onto the romance scene with
Private Arrangements
, one of the most anticipated historical romance debuts in recent history and a
Publishers Weekly
Best of the Year book. Lisa Kleypas calls her “the most powerfully original historical romance author working today.” Her books have received stellar reviews from
Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Chicago Tribune
, and
Romantic Times
, along with enthusiastic praise from many of the most highly trafficked romance review websites and blogs.
Her story is all the more interesting given that English is Sherry’s second language—she has come a long way from the days when she made her laborious way through Rosemary Rogers’s
Sweet Savage Love
with an English-Chinese dictionary. She enjoys creating stories. And when she is not writing, she thinks about the Zen and zaniness of her profession, plays computer games with her sons, and reads as many fabulous books as she can find.
SHERRY THOMAS is
“the most powerfully original historical romance
author writing today!”—Lisa Kleypas
PRIVATE ARRANGEMENTS
To all of London society, Lord and Lady Tremaine had the perfect marriage—but that was because husband and wife resided on separate continents. Once upon a time, though, things were quite different for the Tremaines. When Gigi Rowland first laid eyes on Camden Saybrook, the attraction was immediate. But what began in a spark of passion ended in betrayal the morning after their wedding. Now Gigi wants to be free to marry again—but when Camden returns from America with an outrageous demand for her freedom, secrets will be exposed, desire rekindled … and one of London’s most admired couples must fall in love all over again or let each other go forever.
DELICIOUS
Famous in Paris, infamous in London, Verity Durant is as well known for her mouthwatering cuisine as for her scandalous love life. But to rising political star Stuart Somerset, Verity is just a name and food is just food, until her first dish touches his lips. Only once before had he known such pure arousal—a dangerous night of passion with a stranger ten years earlier. But Verity’s past has a secret that could devour them both even as they reach for the most delicious fruit of all ….
