by Shana Galen
It's a short book. But a lot of story!
These are terrifying times. It's impossible to know
who to trust. But Angelette is determined.
Her personal loyalty will not let her run for her
own safety. She feels like she must stay to
protect friends and family.
Hugh Daventry falls head over heels for
Angelette at first sight. Though he cannot find a
way to protect her. She will not leave the
incredibly dangerous area. And he cannot leave her.
Will he flee and hope she can find
a way to protect herself? Will she come to
her senses and leave? So many questions.
But the first question of all,
have you ever heard of the Scarlet Pimpernel?

Excerpt from To Ruin a Gentleman
Little angel, indeed, Hugh thought that afternoon as he waited for his turn with bow and arrow. He'd never met a person so misnamed. She should have been named little devil. Unfortunately, he couldn't quite work out the French for that. He watched the comtesse raise her bow and narrow her eyes along the shaft of the arrow at the painted hay target. He had to admit, she looked angelic enough. Her dark curly hair had been arranged in an artful style and swept back and up. Her straw Bergère hat, worn on the crown of her head and tilted down over her forehead, was adorned with pink silk ribbon and an assortment of pink and white silk flowers. Tendrils of her dark hair spiraled down about her neck and blew across her pale cheek when the breeze rustled the trees. He couldn't help but notice that in the dappled sunlight her dark hair seemed to be infused with strands of red and gold.
