Victorian Scoundrel
by Stephanie
Burkhart
BLURB:
It's 2011 and compressed natural gas has taken over from the coal
producing steam machines of the Victorian Age. Alice Windsor, Princess of York,
follows her mischief-making cousin, Edmund of Wales, back to 1851 where Prince
Albert is hosting Britain's Great Exhibition.
Alice soon finds herself over her head in trouble. Edmund is
determined to help Prince Albert build a dirigible and the prime minister
appears intent in preventing her from stopping Edmund. Alice knows it's too
early for the massive flying machine to take to the air. Complicating matters
is the passionate Grayson Kentfield, Earl of Swinton. Alice can't stop her
pulse from pounding when she's near him.
Can Alice give her heart to a man from the past while working to
stop Edmund from changing history?
Excerpt:
Grayson nodded his head and smiled
at Keira as Alice trailed after her cousin. She caught up to Edmund, and placed
her hand on his elbow to catch his attention. She leaned close, keeping her
voice low.
"I have news."
"Oh?" He plucked a glass
of wine off the tray and handed it to her. She held up two fingers, meaning she
wanted wine for her and Grayson. He gave her another glass.
"I have my necklace back, Ed."
He raised a skeptical eyebrow.
"Really?"
Alice glanced at her purse.
"It's in there."
He frowned. "Well, I guess we
can go home now." "What's the frown for?" she asked.
"It just so happens I'm
enjoying Keira's company."
Alice bunched her lips, agreeing
with his sentiment. "And I'm enjoying Grayson's."
Edmund grabbed two glasses for
himself and they wandered back to their dates. "The right thing to do is
go home, Cousin," said Edmund.
"Well, yes, but..."
"But, what?"
"Grayson invited us to his
estate in Sandhurst next weekend -- Keira as well."
"Naughty, naughty,
Cousin."
