The Reluctant Countess by Eloisa James
Releases November 29th ~ Get it on Amazon
I adore being wrapped up in all the gossip and etiquette of regency romance. Especially when it’s from the queen herself, Eloisa James. Thoroughly entertaining and always on the verge of a scandal, The Reluctant Countess is baroque perfection!

From the Cover...
Giles Renwick, Earl of Lilford, has never made a fool of himself over a woman—until he meets Lady Yasmin Régnier. Yasmin is ineligible for his attentions in every way: not as a wife, certainly not as a mistress (she is a lady!), nor even as a friend, since they vehemently dislike each other. Her gowns are too low, and her skirts are dampened to cling to admittedly lovely thighs. She loves to gossip—and giggle.
She isn’t dignified, or polite, or even truly British, given that her father’s French ancestry clearly predominated. Not to mention the fact that her mother had been one of Napoleon’s mistresses, a fact she makes no effort to hide.
So what—in heaven’s name—possesses him to propose?
And what will he do if she says yes?
