NEW FROM SUZ!
She failed at the
one task Society allotted to her...
But there is more
to Sylvia Dillworth than meets the eye.
After a disastrous
presentation at Court,
Lady Sylvia learns
that her parents plan to marry her to a
man three times her age.
Desperate to avoid
this fate,
she recklessly
borrows her brother’s clothes and flees to Oxford
to...to...to do what?
She has been trained
for exactly one task:
marry a peer and
produce more peers.
As the youngest son
of a noble family,
Alan Maitland had
three prospects open to him:
the Church, the
military, or politics.
But the moment he
stepped onto the
manicured quadrangle of his Oxford college,
he decided he would
never leave.
His pay as a Music
Master is modest,
but as a bachelor, all his needs are met...
except for a falsetto
in his choir.
He's enchanted by the
voice of "Syl Dill,"
yet bizarrely
attracted to the young man.
Their feelings are
mutual,
but how can Lady
Sylvia reveal herself without a scandal?
From a happy reader:
FIVE STARS!

This historical romance is full of our heroine's mischief. How she gets away with it is amazing. All the characters are fun, even the "Pugilistic Prelate". A very different and amusing, sweet romance.

A little about Sue
Suz deMello says, "I'm a cliche... A vegan yoga teacher from California who loves walks on the beach, cuddling her dogs and romance novels." But she's an award-winning, best-selling writer who's hit several best-seller lists, been short-listed for the RITA and reviewed by such prestigious publications such as Kirkus, Library Journal and Publisher's Weekly.
Suz uses a pseudonym to protect her privacy. But if you're a romance fan, you've probably read her books or have heard of her, since she's known for layered, compelling novels charged with humor as well as emotion.
Of her journey to the steamier side of writing, Suz says, “I love writing traditional romances, but after several years in the same mode, I felt that I really needed to cut loose as a creative artist and write hot, sexy books that reflect the wilder side of being human.”
Suz’s two dozen books are fast paced, with seductive situations, complicated characters and (occasionally) a whole lot of kink!
Her personal motto is: Never stop learning, never stop growing. She's had at least six careers she can remember, including librarian, trial attorney, Starbucks barista, grant writer, and yoga teacher. Perhaps her most interesting career move was teaching English to preschoolers in China! But now she loves to write romance and teach yoga. She also has earned a 2d degree black belt in kenpo karate.
She currently resides in Mazatlan, Mexico, where she
walks on the beach, practices yoga, and cuddles her dogs every day.
