THE LADY SPARKS A FLAME

Elizabeth Everett

A Novel

A Lady with a past. A man with ambition. A romance far from London society that might bridge their divides.
Lady Phoebe Hunt never anticipated returning from exile. A fatal choice drove her from England, but the death of her fatherand the revelation of his debtshas brought her home. Once she settles her father's estate, she will return to America, where she has reinvented herself. There's no reason to remain, not even for one gravitationally challenged but deliciously tempting entrepreneur: Sam Fenley. Samuel Fenley is all ambition. Rising from shop boy to wealthy investor, he's left knocking on doors that open only for those with a title. Unless he buys the damned door itselfand the estate that goes with it. Sam offers to relieve Phoebe of her burdens, but is her crumbling mansion all Sam wants? Or is it the Lady herself? When threats from Phoebe's past spark new dangers, Sam and Phoebe discover that neither is what the other expected. Standing on the edge of disaster, the disgraced Ice Queen will have to decide if she wants to forge through life alone, or let an unlikely hero melt her heart. USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Everett lives in upstate New York with her family. She likes going for long walks or (very) short runs to nearby sites that figure prominently in the history of civil rights and women's suffrage. Her writing is inspired by her admiration for rule breakers and belief in the power of love to change the world.

Comments

Sumptuous imagery coupled with deft turns of phrase underscore Everett's writing, drawing you into a dangerously clever, compelling romance between a villainess with an ice heart and a charming rogue with the temerity to melt it. A delightful page-turner!

Beautiful and important.

Smart is the new sexy, and Elizabeth Everett does both better than anyone else!

Everett expertly crafts two imperfect characters who are perfect for each other, and with exquisite prose, showcases their struggle against a cruel world determined to remind them of their place. The story challenges readers to confront how we view complicated female characters by revealing just how relatable all their "unlikable" parts are. The Lady Sparks a Flame is a remarkable standout in historical romance.
