Scandalous
3 primary works
Book 1
Nathan Grey, the Earl of Lindsey, has been separated from his wife Evangeline for five years when he receives a letter from a friend in Parliament informing him that Evangeline has been named in a revealing book by the Princess Caroline. She is suspected of being part of a huge scandal, and the publicity could ruin her and Nathan's reputations for ever. Nathan decides to remove his wife from London as quickly as possible, but when he encounters her at a ball in the city he is startled by how she's changed - more mature, more self-confident, and still incredibly beautiful. He can't believe he is attracted to her. Evangeline, however, has been contemplating a romance with a kind widower, and Nathan must drag her back to Eastchurch. An awkward rapprochement turns into a fiery battle of wills in which they settle their differences from the past, ward off a murder attempt on Evangeline's life, and uncover the treachery behind Evangeline's name being included in The Book of Scandal.
Book 2
The second historical romance novel in New York Times bestselling author Julia London's Scandalous series.
On the run from the wrathful Prince of Wales, Jack Haines, Earl of Lambourne, is taken prisoner by a Highland laird who makes him an unusual offer: if Jack handfasts his niece, then his life will be spared. The old Highland custom-a marriage lasting only a year and a day, unless both partners agree to make it a lifelong vow-sounds preferable to Jack to being dragged to London in chains, and when he meets lovely Lizzie Beal, his dilemma starts to seem positively enjoyable. Until the hellion vents her fury...on him! Detesting the scandalous match that will end all her chances of making a respectable marriage, Lizzie can't abide living intimately with a fugitive nobleman bent on seducing her and then running off. But in teaching her the pleasures of a wife's duties, Jack sparks within them both a passion that will make him wish he could stay with Lizzie for much longer than a year and a day.
