Fans of Grace Burrowes, Liz Carlyle, Meredith Duran, Sarah Maclean and Courtney Milan will be enthralled by the dazzling talent of Sherry Thomas in this captivating romance in which a ‘vengeful temptress’ is taught a lesson in love by the very man she hates.

When the Duke of Lexington meets a mysterious baroness on a transatlantic liner, he is fascinated. She’s exactly what he’s been searching for – a beautiful woman who interests and entices him. He falls hard and fast, and soon proposes marriage. Then she disappears without a trace… For, in reality, the ‘baroness’ is Venetia Easterbrook – a young widow who had her own vengeful reasons for instigating an affair with the duke. But the plan has backfired. Venetia has fallen in love with the man she despised – and there’s no telling what might happen when she is finally unmasked…

All About Romance
I enjoyed Beguiling the Beauty tremendously. Ms. Thomas is a writer whose craft grows more dazzling with each book she writes. In this novel, she explores deftly the nature of love, the power of beauty, and the damage men and women do to each other in the pursuit of both. If, as Keats said, 'A thing of beauty is a joy for ever,' readers will be enjoying Beguiling the Beauty for years to come
Lisa Kleypas, <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author
Searing, tender, and filled with passion, [Sherry Thomas's] writing is nothing short of a revelation
