Angebote / Angebote:

Their chemistry creates a chain reaction . . . but will love be the final result? Dorothea Grantham has always been fascinated by chemistry and spends most days conducting experiments in her laboratory at Grantham Place, staining silk with gold, silver, and other metals using chemical processes. Thea embroiders the beautiful gold and silver silk shawls she creates and enjoys wearing them, but her grandmother, Lady Longmore, advises her not to reveal to anyone outside the family circle that she has created the fashion items herself, concerned her granddaughter might be seen as an oddity. When Thea enters Society, her shawls attract a great deal of attention and become the talk of the town. James, Lord Castleroy, takes a particular interest in her work, having inherited a share in his grandfather's silk mill in Macclesfield. Eager to invest in the ailing silk industry, the baron studies Miss Grantham's silks with an admiring-and increasingly suspicious-eye, believing the fabrics to be smuggled imported silk. As he spends more time with the enterprising young lady, however, his interest in her quickly extends beyond his business affairs to engulf his guarded heart. But Lord Castleroy isn't the only person in London interested in Thea's exquisite creations. And when a silken web of intrigue entangles her in real danger, Thea must trust the devotion of a man she never expected-or intended-to fall in love with. Note: This series is part of Dragonblade's Sweet Dreams line, so this is a sweet, wholesome Historical Romance where passion beyond the bedroom door is left to the reader's imagination.
