THE ARRANGEMENT
 Reprinted
from Publishers Weekly - September 15, 1997.
Self-described as "rash" and "head-strong"
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.
