Perfection (Historical Regency Romance)

They call him Lord Heartless for good reason. Brandon Pellidore, Marquess of Hartley, knows that a slip of his tongue or the least sign of emotion, and the trustees overseeing his fortune will brand him as mad as his grandmother and father before him. But a runaway beauty with a sparkle in her eye may prove his undoing. Celia Rider is determined to discover why her own fortune has gone missing, and her search leads her to Brandonâ‚¬s door. As secrets and dangers mount, can Celia convince Brandon to remove his mask so that they can share a love that is nothing short of perfection? Sweet Regency romance with gothic overtones. Previously published by Kensington Zebra.

Praise for Regina Scott's Perfection:
"In her latest historical Regency, Scott beautifully builds a quiet sense of menace and dangerous intrigue and then adds wonderfully complex characters and witty writing to create an exceptionally memorable romance." -- Booklist

"Appealing, intelligent protagonists, nicely defined if not always likeable secondary characters, and the darker elements of greed, murder, and revenge combine with charming dialog, well-done descriptions, and solid prose to produce a historical that shouldn't disappoint." -- Library Journal

5 stars. â‚¬Å“An incredible romance filled with danger, excitement, and betrayal. Read this! Can I make it any clearer?â‚¬Â -- The Huntress Reviews

"Regina Scott is a master storyteller. Once I started reading, I could not stop. She has crafted a wonderful tale full of romance and suspense. One word truly sums it up--perfection." -- Affaire de Coeur

Excerpt
â‚¬Å“How did you manage to evade your duties?â‚¬Â As the carriage set off, he crossed one booted leg over the other and clasped it with both large hands.

She felt her smile widen, remembering. â‚¬Å“My brother is riding with a groom. He is in alt, and my stepmother grudgingly allowed me a few moments to myself.â‚¬Â

â‚¬Å“Then you will not mind taking extra time in our meeting.â‚¬Â

She cocked her head. â‚¬Å“No. Why?â‚¬Â

â‚¬Å“I intend to learn the truth of your fortune, as I said.â‚¬Â

She laughed. â‚¬Å“If you can do that, I will think you possessed of magical powers, Lord Oberon.â‚¬Â

He raised a brow. â‚¬Å“You see me as a fairy?â‚¬Â

Her laugh bubbled up again, but somehow she thought he liked the sound. Perhaps it was the smile that tugged at the corner of his mouth.

â‚¬Å“Have you ever read Shakespeareâ‚¬s A Midsummer Nightâ‚¬s Dream?â‚¬Â she asked. â‚¬Å“Puck you may call a fairy. Oberon is definitely something more.â‚¬Â

He crossed his arms over his chest. â‚¬Å“Indeed. Arrogant, demanding, controlling.â‚¬Â

â‚¬Å“If the shoe fits, my lord.â‚¬Â

â‚¬Å“Only too well, Miss Rider. And do I take it you see yourself as Titania, queen of the fairies?â‚¬Â

She shook her head. â‚¬Å“And fall in love with a donkey? No, thank you.â‚¬Â

â‚¬Å“A shame,â‚¬Â he replied with a decided twinkle in his eye. â‚¬Å“I was growing rather fond of your fiancÂ©.â‚¬Â

Celia burst into laughter and was rewarded to see the smile spread on his face. It was like the sun coming out after a storm.
