Books like Infamous Isabelle by Margaret Summerville
Set amid the glittering yet judgmental society of Regency London, Isabelle Clairemont sparks intrigue and disdain. Dubbed the most notorious beauty, she is not a simple fortune hunter but a complex woman who refuses to be defined by expectations.
Lord Lucius Biddleton, only twenty‑nine yet carried by the title of Lord Biddle, sees Isabelle as an affront to propriety and a threat to his reputation. He dismisses her as a mischievous provocateur and maintains a cynical, puritanical stance toward her.
Opposing forces meet when a series of improbable misadventures forces their paths to collide. Through these trials, the hardened Lord Biddleton is compelled to look past Isabelle’s dazzling façade and glimpse the loving, courageous soul that resides within. Likewise, Isabelle discovers a younger, brave, and tender heart in Biddle that defies her expectations of an arrogant taskmaster.
