A BREATH OF SCANDAL by Elizabeth Essex


A BREATH OF SCANDAL by Elizabeth Essex
 A Reckless Brides Novel

You cannot buy me, as I am not for sale

Antigone Preston has aspirations, plans and anticipates a life after she finds a husband for her beloved sister.  Antigone never thought her mother was contractually obligating her to marry a man old enough to be her father.  It is supposed to be fiction not fact so that everyone gets want they want, but can that happen.

The plans were going swimmingly until Antigone met William Jellicoe and every thought but gazing upon his handsome face left her mind.  Will was a Commander in Her Majesty’s service and in a bit of limbo deciding where to go next with his career.  For the moment, the only decision he wanted to make was how to get Antigone in his life and decide if he wanted to keep her there.  The problems that became the explosion that forces everyone to show their true emotions and deepest demons displays true character and the wealth of love between two people.

Elizabeth Essex captures the best and worst within each of us with shining glory and brilliant prose.

  7. Hi Mary!

    I love Elizaeth's book and ever since I read her first book, The Pursuit of Pleasure, back in 2010 I've loved reading her books but still haven't had the chance to pick up a copy of Almost A Scandal even though it was released last July but it is on my TBR list! Now if I could just be able to work less and read more!

    I have been checking her website and don't see anything about her working on her next release but I hope she working on one now!

    I can't wait to find out how she writes about William and Antigone true character how the love between them makes their love everlasting

    Elizabeth Essex is one of my favorite Authors. Her stories keep me spell bound.

    There's no need to enter me into the contest, as I've won this somewhere else.
