About this ebook

She always dreamed of marrying a Stuart brother. Just not the one who meets her at the altar. 

When scandal sweeps through London's ballrooms, Lord Elijah Stuart's younger brother is caught in its web. Though his main duty is to England's spymaster, Elijah must forsake his work searching for the traitor to the Crown and instead focus on weddings and reputations. With both the family honor and his brother's future at stake, Elijah dutifully takes the ruined Miss Josephina Pennyworth for his very reluctant bride. 

Furious at the circumstances leading her to be wed to the wrong Stuart brother, Josephina clashes immediately with her bossy new husband. She is every bit as invested in the search for the traitor as Lord Stuart and she is no shrinking violet when it comes to danger. While Josie discovers certain aspects of married life are quite pleasurable, she doesn't permit them to distract her from her mission. As she tests her husband's patience and the boundaries of her new life, the threat lurking in the shadows grows larger and places more lives in peril. Who among them will survive?

An opposites attract, age gap, spy romance between a Diamond of the First water Debutante and a Marquis. They're trapped into marriage... and unfortunately for Josie, she's marrying the wrong brother.

Ratings and reviews

Josie gets her story and HEA in this book. It is not with the man she always wanted, but I love seeing how what starts out as a marriage of convenience slowly turns into a true partnership- both in the marriage and in spycraft.

'A Season for Scandal' is the second book in Golden Angel's "Deception and Discipline" series and if you haven't already started it, then, by all means, get on the bandwagon. This is a delightfully humor-filled mysterious adventure that has Elijah and Josie burning up the pages one minute and then snapping and snarling at each other. It doesn't help that when the story first began, Elijah had no intention of getting married or having an heir, leaving that to one of his brothers to handle. Josie has been in love with her neighbor and Elijah's younger brother, Joseph since she was a young girl but fate intervened with EVERYTHING. Joseph fell in love with someone else while Josie was manipulated and found herself compromised and Elijah is the one marrying the girl. If you know and love Golden Angel's writing style as much as I do then I know you'll want to read this immediately. If you haven't for whatever reason picked up one of her books, be prepared. There is always humor, mischief, red hot chemistry, and plenty of butt stuff. This is just great and I can't wait for the next one.

This honestly is my favorite Golden Angel historical to date. It's got all the best parts of a Golden Angel historical a hot but stern hero, a feisty but smart heroine, lots of great minor characters, and a great plot. Josie and Elijah are my favorite couple. They have conflict, some emotional upheaval but what I love is that learn to communicate and compromise with each other. As the mystery of the villain deepens they work with each other more and more. Their respect for each other grows along with their. I loved the series before this one but there were times I wanted to shake the characters and yell at them to just have an honest conversation with their significant other. In this series you really see the characters having a more mature and honest relationship. I really appreciated reading of the heroines fight to be seen as an equal to their husbands. I really liked how the heros started to treat their wives as equals. I received this book in exchange for an honest review

About the author

Golden Angel is a USA Today best-selling author and self-described bibliophile with a "kinky" bent who loves to write stories for the characters in her head. If she didn't get them out, she's pretty sure she'd go just a little crazy.

She is happily married, old enough to know better but still too young to care, and a big fan of happily-ever-afters, strong heroes and heroines, and sizzling chemistry.

She believes the world is a better place when there's a little magic in it.
