B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree! ROCKLIFFE SERIES recommended by Hilary Rose of THE TIMES.

Sebastian Audley has spent years setting every city in Europe by the ears and keeping the scandal-sheets in profit. Word that he is finally returning to London becomes the hottest topic of the Season and casts numerous young ladies into a fever of anticipation.
Cassandra Delahaye is not one of them. In her opinion, love affairs and duels, coupled with a reputation for never refusing even the most death-defying wager, suggest that Mr Audley is short of a brain cell or two. And while their first, very unorthodox meeting shows that perhaps he isn’t entirely stupid, it creates other reservations entirely.
Sebastian finds living down his reputation for reckless dare-devilry a full-time occupation. He had known that putting the past behind him in a society with an insatiable appetite for scandal and gossip would not be easy. But what he had not expected was to become the target of a former lover’s dangerous obsession … or to find himself falling victim to a pair of storm-cloud eyes.

A lively account of the English aristocracy in the eighteenth century – a rich and vivid tale of a man's reputation lost and won. There is a generous smattering of masculine wagers, fisticuffs, sword fights and pistols drawn. The book is full of sharp-witted dialogue and positively seethes with an undercurrent of sexual tension. This was an absolute delight to read.” Reader’s Favorite
"
Stella Riley once again presents readers with a gorgeous hero, an admirable heroine and a well-written, strongly developed romance that simmers with sexual tension … as well as a gently bubbling secondary romance with great potential for a future book. All in all, The Wicked Cousin is a delightful read and one which is sure to please fans of intelligently written, strongly characterised historical romance. Another winner!"
