About the book:
When her father dies, leaving her penniless and without prospects, Elizabeth Medford is faced with a horrible future: marriage to the utterly vile Harold Wetherby.  Elizabeth has witnessed Wetherby's cruel nature and knows a life with him would be a miserable.  If only he didn’t want to marry her…but for that to be the case, she would have to have a damaged reputation, and despite her father’s missteps, Elizabeth’s own name is pristine among society. So far…  So Elizabeth hatches a plan: she will organize her own ruin and escape the betrothal, leaving her old life behind. The only hitch is the man she hopes will do the ruining—the irresistible Alex Bainbridge, Duke of Beaufort. Alex is no stranger to scandal.  But he has secrets of his own that make Elizabeth Medford a woman he should avoid at all costs--for both their sakes.  He insists he will have no part in her crazy scheme…no matter how tempting she may be…

About the author:
Allegra Gray is a former military officer--turned English professor--turned homeland defense analyst.  One thing she has always been, though, is a storyteller.  Allegra wrote her first book at the age of 5 (it has yet to be published).
 
Allegra began her publishing career while teaching in the English department of the U.S. Air Force Academy, but soon discovered that non-fiction, academic work was not enough to satisfy her creative drive.

She turned to fiction and launched her career as a novelist with the release of a historical romance, “Nothing But Scandal” from Kensington Publishing in July 2009.

Allegra lives in Colorado and writes novels full of steamy intrigue that interweave her love of history, legend, and romance.
