    About this ebook

    Notoriety is better than failure, witty and unconventional Rowena Fallows resolves not to marry wealthy aristocrat Thomas Brickdale.

    Pressured by his family to marry and produce an heir, Brickdale exudes the kind of danger a wise woman avoids. He, too, has no wish to marry, but he's not indifferent to the beautiful Rowena. He wants no more than to put this wayward girl in her place—and in his bed.

    In desperation, Rowena challenges fate, gambling her reputation by fleeing to Paris but is soon plunged into a terrifying vortex of danger.

    Destiny threatens to tear them apart, but in a shattering conflict of fury and desire, will Rowena and Brickdale surrender to love?

    A Passionate Pursuit
    Author

    Gloria Burland

    I was born in Clifton, Bristol which is the setting for my Clifton Scandals series. I now have a home in France and although I've learned much about French history, it's the Regency era, which I feel that I have the greatest affinity. This I attribute to my Clifton roots and a passion for the novels written in that time. I love the eloquence of speech and the manners of that time, and the characters portrayed. I am grateful to all those authors who have fed my passion, authors like the late, great Georgette Heyer, but, for me, Jane Austen reigns supreme, and Mr Darcy will always be THE perfect romantic hero. I always have my copy a Pride and Prejudice with me when I'm travelling and I never tire of reading it. I worked as a journalist for many years with the ATHEN'S NEWS, GREECE and have interviewed television stars in Hollywood. I now spend my time in France and England.
