New York Times bestselling author Loretta Chase follows her historical romance gem, Silk is for Seduction (nominated for 2011 Romantic Times Reviewerâs Choice Award for Best Regency-Set Historical Romance) with yet another winner. This time, Scandal Wears Satin, as the second sister from a somewhat scandalous aristocratic familyâthe purveyors of one of Londonâs most fashionable shopsâfinds passion and a love as sumptuous as the gorgeous gowns she creates. Superstar romance author Susan Elizabeth Phillips says Loretta Chase has âa rare talent for creating crackling sexual tension and characters so fresh and compelling that readers wonât be able to forget them.â Chase fans, as well as Stephanie Laurens and Julia Quinn readers, will most assuredly agreeâespecially when they meet feisty Sophy and the rakish earl whose help (and heart) she enlists in order to win the patronage of a dowager lady.
Loretta Chase has worked in academe, retail, and the visual arts, as well as on the streetsâas a meter maidâand in video, as a scriptwriter. She might have developed an excitingly checkered career had her spouse not nagged her into writing fiction. Her bestselling historical romances, set in the Regency and Romantic eras of the early 19th century, have won numerous awards, including three from the Romance Writers of America. They have been published in a great many different languages, which she wishes she could read.
