In this dazzling Victorian romance that "will appeal to fans of Julia Quinn and Amanda Quick," one unlucky lady believes her fate is finally changing until the rake that broke her heart returns to town (Publishers Weekly on Lady Scandal)

Lady Kay Matheson is truly the bad luck bride. Her first try at matrimony was a disastrous failed elopement with handsome rake Devlin Sharpe. Soon after, Devlin departed for Africa without even saying goodbye, leaving Kay unwed and her heart in a million pieces. Her second attempt with the boy next door was the ideal match everyone wanted, until rumors of her previous elopement hit the papers and her perfect groom dumped her due to the scandal. Now Kay is forced to face life as a ruined and disgraced spinster.

No one is more surprised than Kay when American millionaire Wilson Rycroft offers her a third chance at matrimony. Just when she's convinced her luck’s changed and she finally will make it down the aisle, the scoundrel who took her virtue and broke her heart many years ago returns, with a young and beautiful fiancée of his own. 

Kay isn’t the only one nursing grudges—Devlin has a few of his own. Like Kay, he just wants to forget the past and make a new life. But when circumstances force them together, reigniting the passions they felt long ago, it culminates in a searing kiss that threatens to ruin their perspective wedding plans and their futures, and make Kay the bad-luck bride all over again. 

Laura Lee Guhrke spent seven years in advertising, had a successful catering business, and managed a construction company before she decided writing novels was more fun.
