*from the author’s website*
You can lead a wallflower to the ball, but you can’t make her bloom—unless one daring young bachelor turns up the heat…
DANCING WITH DANGER
What’s a nice girl like Miss Juliet Shelby doing in a place like Lord Deveril’s ballroom? With her shy demeanor, she’s a total stranger to the dance floor and a source of mockery for the ton. So imagine her surprise when Deveril gallantly comes to her defense—and offers to teach her to dance! Juliet can hardly believe the most handsome bachelor in London would notice her, until he takes her in his arms and sets her heart ablaze…
PLAYING WITH FIRE
Lord Alec Deveril has never felt such a spark of attraction for an unmarried lady before. Unlike the “fashionable” women he’s accustomed to, Juliet possesses a generous spirit, a fiery intelligence—and an explosive secret. Deep in the London underworld, a dear friend has vanished, and Juliet fears the worst. Deveril insists on helping, escorting her through the darkest alleys in town. But he too is hiding a shocking secret—and the only way he can defeat the devil in his past is to seduce the angel in his arms …

Historical romance is my favorite genre, would love to read one of your books sign me up for the contest! debdan at yahoo dot com
I'm looking forward to reading about Juliet and her strength. I'm also going to be patiently waiting for Monteith's story. He sounds like he's going to be a joy to read! Thank you for the opportunity with the contest 🙂

Manda is a new author for me. This book sounds fantastic. Can't wait to read it. Thanks for the great interview. I know tons of people who love reality tv but I just don't get it. I'd rather read.
Great interview! Congrats to Manda on your new release!!
I have not read many historicals, but have really enjoyed the ones I did. The allure for me is also the rules of behavior. I could never imagine having to act like them, but it is fun to pretend while reading about it. 😉
Thank you for the opportunity to read this one. It sounds wonderful.
Should How To Dance With A Duke be read prior to reading this one?

looking forward to reading this.. can't wait Alison(alisongail99@aol.com)
"How to Romance a Rake" sounds really great. I have always loved the wallflowers/blue stockings in historicals. Probably because I can relate to them more, lol.
Congrats on the release!

How To Romance a Rake sounds like such a fantastic book. I'm looking forward to reading Alec and Juliet's story – one of my favorite premises has always been the rake and the wallflower.
