The Arrangement

by Joan Wolf

Overview

Dear Reader:

I am afraid I am about to do something exceedingly shocking.

My adventure began when I came to the Earl of Savile's castle for the reading of George Devane's will, of which the earl is the executor. I had every intention of refusing George's blood money, but he foiled me by leaving it to my young son, Nicky. Because I am a young widow, this bequest has subjected me to a great deal of unpleasant gossip.

Now I find that I am in the power of the most exciting man I have ever met, a man whose very presence makes me weak, a man who could very well be my ruination.

Remember me in your prayers, as I shall need them.

(Mrs.) Gail Saunders

About the Author

Award-winning author Joan Wolf began writing her first novel when she was 11. It was about a boy and a horse living in Wyoming. At the time she was living in New York City. Even at 11 she was interested in writing about people whose backgrounds were different from hers. Since then she has written 53 novels ranging throughout time, with the Regency period one of her favorites.

Editorial Reviews

Self-described as "rash" and "headstrong" Gail Saunders, proprietress of a riding stable and widowed mother of eight-year-old Nicky, has fended off suitors for years. Then she meets Raoul Melville, Earl of Savile, and follows her heart into an "arrangement" -- though she'd much rather be Raoul's wife than his mistress. Savile's late cousin George, Lord Devane, has left a bequest that leads to nasty speculation about Nicky's parentage, and a series of life-threatening accidents ensue. Suspects and red herrings abound; who'll gain the most from Nicky's death? Gail's the latest in a winning string of first-person narrators from the talented Wolf (The Guardian), whose Regency historicals are as delicious and addictive as dark, rich, Belgian chocolates.
