The Trouble with Honor

January 13, 2014
A debutante’s bravado, practicality, and wildness spice up the life of a duke’s jaded bastard son in this deliciously naughty Regency series launch. Miss Honor Cabot first meets renowned rake George Easton on an ill-advised expedition to a men’s gaming hall. Shortly after, she asks him to interrupt her stepbrother Augustine’s wedding plans by seducing Augustine’s fiancée, Monica Hargrove. Honor fears that Monica will convince Augustine to evict Honor, her mad mother, and her three younger sisters from the family home, once her stepfather dies and Augustine inherits his earldom. Honor quickly discovers how much she enjoys being fondled by George, which seems to happen whenever she plots with him in private corners of Mayfair’s formal events. This tale of scandal and passion is perfect for readers who like to see bad girls win, but still love the feeling of a society romance, and London (The Last Debutante) nicely sets up future books starring Honor’s sisters.

Intrepid Honor Cabot devises an outrageous plan upon the realization that with the approaching demise of her stepfather, the Earl of Beckington (and the selfish schemes of their stepbrother's spiteful fiancee, Monica), Honor and her three sisters and their mother are facing ruinous life changes. The goal? To break their stepbrother's engagement. The means? Wealthy rake George Easton, a duke's bastard son and a man inclined to take risks. But the bargain George and Honor strike has unintended results as the two conspirators find themselves attracted to each other. VERDICT London kicks off her HQN debut with a sprightly, well-conceived, deliciously sensual tale, the first in a series about four sisters forced to fend for themselves. London (Homecoming Ranch) lives in Austin, TX.

The only thing George Easton hates more than losing is losing to a woman. So when Honor Cabot breezes into one of London's most notorious gaming hells and relieves George of one hundred pounds, George is, to say the least, not amused. George then can't believe Honor's nerve when she later approaches him in the hope that he will help her with a little family problem. Honor wants George to seduce her brother's fianc'e, Monica Hargrove, because she is convinced that once Monica becomes part of the family, Honor and her sisters will have to find a new home. Much to his surprise, George finds himself agreeing to help with her scheme, but he is in for an even bigger shock when he realizes the lady he really wants to seduce is Honor. A delectably sexy hero, an unconventionally savvy heroine, and a completely improper business proposal add up to another winner for ever-versatile London, who with The Trouble with Honor launches an exceptionally entertaining new series centered on the four Cabot sisters.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
