<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A LADY'S REVENGE is a Regency romance with a feminist twist. The brooding aristocrat who boxes is our heroine--who still wears the lavish ballgowns. The hero, a stockbroker and prizefighter, bumbles around the edges of Society figuring out how the world works now that he has a jingle in his pocket. When these two collide, it's trouble.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Lady Lydia Sommerset is an earl's daughter. At the ripe age of twenty-five, she still wears the lavish gowns and dances the dainty steps of the <em>haute ton</em> as if she were pursuing a husband; but her goals are far more personal. Instead, she pursues her tormenters: the men who bet that taking a girl's virginity--her virginity--really can cure a brothel's plague. She has her cousins and sister to aid her, but no one can understand what it feels like to be helpless. Pugilism, England's manliest pastime, is her only relief. Training in secret with a female boxer keeps her sane, but when her instructor is hired away by one of the men she is seeking to destroy, she is in a bind. Her new teacher, a former prizefighter with a ready joke and a quick wit might do more than just correct her technique.</p><p>John Arthur is made of money. A street kid who dazzled with his fists, he now impresses as a miracle worker on the London Stock Exchange. But a man can't forget a boyhood spent in the gutter. Easy-going and affable, John Arthur knows he shouldn't tangle with bluebloods. He should be happy with a full belly and coin-filled pockets. But when he finds a woman who finds boxing as vital as he does, his life gets suddenly complicated.</p><p>Caught between revenge and finding love with a man who might truly understand her, Lady Lydia must commit to opening her heart or closing it forever.</p>
