MIRA Books, Jul 15, 2014 - Fiction - 400 pages
Bestselling author Stella Cameron pens a seductive
tale of passion and intrigue, and takes readers back to
7 Mayfair Square, an elegant town house, during the
glittering whirl of a London season. Here, with a little
help from a most unusual matchmaker, anything is
possible—even unlikely love between a nobleman and
a confounding parson’s daughter…


What Meg Smiles lacks in wealth, she more than makes
up for in audacity and determination, both quickly
harnessed when Jean-Marc, Count Etranger, and his
sister take up residence across the square. Now gainfully
employed as companion to the count’s madcap sister,
Meg discovers it is not her charge who occupies her
thoughts, but the girl’s enigmatic older brother…


When Meg becomes the victim of a series of strange
accidents, Jean-Marc finds his austere world turned
upside down. And when it becomes alarmingly clear
that Meg’s very life is in danger, Jean-Marc’s desire for
this unsuitable but enchanting woman overcomes his
sense of propriety. He vows to ensure her safety,
even if it means keeping her close to him,
day and night…

About the author (2014)

Stella Cameron was born and raised on the southern coast of England where she met her American husband at a party in London. After their marriage, she left England and went with husband Jerry to Washington State to make a home and raise a family. Like many authors, Stella began her literary career as a reader. As a young girl, Stella was a self-professed reading "addict", devouring all types of literature. She learned very early to retreat from the demands of others into a gentler world -- her own. As a child and a young adult, books saved her because they helped free her while they entertained her. Her love of reading always went side-by-side with her love of writing. Nineteenth-century author Jane Austen was a particular favorite, and Stella admits that she particularly enjoys reading and writing books set in the 1800s, as well as contemporary novels. In 1980, Stella decided she wanted to write professionally. She attended writing classes and wrote short literary fiction for a year. It was during this period that Stella discovered how well-written and intense romantic fiction could be. Using her newly acquired writing skills, she began to write contemporary romantic fiction for Harlequin Americans and Intrigues. After several years, she moved up to Harlequin SuperRomances. In 1992, she made the switch to single titles with her first historical, Only By Your Touch. She has also authored a series entitled Rossmara Quartet along with several other romance titles. Stella Cameron sees herself as an entertainer and historian who adds her perspective to contemporary values through writing.
