Venetia

Gossip, scandal and an unforgettable Regency romance

In all her twenty-five years, Venetia Lanyon has never been further than Harrogate.

Then, in one extraordinary encounter, she meets a neighbour she only knew by reputation - the infamous Jasper Damerel.

Damerel's way of life has scandalised the North Riding for years. But he may have met his match in Venetia ...
