    About this ebook

    A respectable lady with a secret past struggles to keep up appearances in this “wonderfully moving”novel of love and intrigue in the Regency era (InD’tale).
     
    About to secure his seat in the House of Lords, Tristan Leeson is a model of high morals and self-control. When his emotionally fragile wife, Adelaide, asks that he curb his carnal impulses, he obliges her accordingly. Steadfastly in love, yet wary of a man’s touch, Adelaide longs to prove herself to the man who rescued her in marriage. After all, she had been at low ebb. Or so she claims—because there’s more to the chaste Adelaide than Tristan knows.
     
    With Tristan’s career rising, the adulation of the ton stirs a thrill in Adelaide that she hasn’t felt in years. So does an unexpected visitor—Tristan’s boyhood friend, the sensationalist writer Lord James Dewhurst, a man with whom Adelaide shares a scandalous past. Now, as her secrets come to light, Adelaide discovers that the high cost of deception includes the trust of the husband she loves. And she’s willing to risk more than her reputation to win it back.
     
    Shortlisted for a Favorite Historical Romance Award by the Australian Romance Readers Association, The Maid of Milan is “quite the page-turner . . . Certainly not your run-of-the-mill historical romance” (Romantic Historical Reviews).

    Beverley Eikli

    Beverley was seventeen when she bundled up her first 500+ page romance and sent it to a publisher. After being rejected on the basis that drowning her heroine on the last page was not in line with the expectations of romance readers, Beverley became a journalist. Twenty-six years later, Beverley got her first publishing contract after she snatched her heroine from a watery grave during a shipwreck. She now writes psychological historicals, and Colonial-Africa-set romantic suspense, as Beverley Eikli. She also writes steamier family sagas and romances laced with mystery and intrigue, mostly set in England during the Georgian, Regency and Victoria eras, as Beverley Oakley. Beverley lives near Melbourne opposite a picturesque nineteenth century insane asylum with the handsome Norwegian bush pilot she met while running a safari lodge in Botswana, their two beautiful daughters and a rambunctious Rhodesian Ridgeback the size of a pony.
