This Much Is True

Althea Hartley has always been a playwright at heart, but after two failed seasons, she’s lost her spark. Desperate for inspiration, she begins telling tales of a mysterious highwayman but unexpectedly finds a new fancy. Jasper Trueblood, the bumbling Viscount St. James, keeps everyone at arm’s length, but he is drawn to Althea. Jasper’s first duty is to protect his family from his horrible uncle, but his feelings for Althea complicate matters. While Jasper fights to save his family and Althea longs for inspiration, their efforts to stay away from each other only make their feelings grow stronger. With secrets and scandal between them, can they break down their walls and let love in? The third book in Lorret’s “The Liar’s Club” series (after The Trouble with Inventing a Viscount) does not disappoint. Lorret’s forbidden-love story is filled with tension and passion, keeping readers engaged and wanting more.
