- Amazon Listing - My Lady Notorious
Disgraced and desperate, Lady Chastity Ware poses as a highwayman -- and, to her misfortune, ends up stopping the carriage of injured soldier Cynric Malloren. The daughter of a crazed man, Chastity must protect her sister from their father, going so far as to don men's clothes to do so. Cyn doesn't take well to being captured, and once he discovers truth about his captors -- one of whom is the notorious Chastity Ware -- he not only helps but also discovers the truth about the brave, honorable woman.
My Lady Notorious deals with many issues -- the reputation of women as determined by their actions, the desires of younger brothers to develop independence, and the strength of family in times of trouble. Beverley introduces her intriguing character Rothgar in this book, and sets the stage for intrigues and politics surrounding the reign of King George III (before he went crazy).
This is the first book in Jo Beverley's "Malloren" series.
