Hr My Lady Notorious

Lord Cynric Malloren sering kali harus mempertahankan harga dirinya karena dianggap terlalu cantik untuk menjadi seorang pria. Setelah mengalami sakit parah dan harus menjalani waktu berbulan-bulan untuk memulihkan kesehatan, rasa bosan menggelayutinya. Namun rindunya akan petualangan pun terbayar ketika kereta kudanya dihadang perampok bersenjata--yang ternyata bukanlah perampok biasa. Lady Chastity Ware terpaksa berpenampilan seperti seorang pemuda tanggung karena hukuman dari sang ayah yang kejam. Ketika kakak perempuannya datang meminta bantuan untuk melarikan diri dari ayah mereka, Chastity pun dengan sigap menolongnya. Rencana pertamanya untuk menyelamatkan sang kakak adalah dengan menyamar menjadi perampok dan menghadang kereta pertama yang lewat di depannya.

Hailed as "captivating" (Booklist) and "exquisitely sensual" (Library Journal), Jo Beverley's Malloren novels capture the unforgettable world of Georgian England. Now her fans can discover why the book that started it all, My Lady Notorious, has been called "storytelling at its best" (Rendezvous). Desperate to help her widowed sister and baby escape a deadly pursuer, Lady Chastity Ware dresses as a highwayman and captures the first coach to travel down the road. Coming face-to-face with its occupant, the arrogant aristocrat, Cyn Malloren, she orders him to drive her to a remote cottage. Little does Chastity realize that after long months of recovering from his war wounds, the handsome Cyn is looking for adventure, and being abducted by a cocky highwayman—obviously a lovely woman in disguise—is even more than he had hoped for. Willingly he is drawn into her devilishly reckless plan...and helplessly he is seduced by her wonderfully wicked ways.

"The entire field of film historians awaits the AFI volumes with eagerness."--Eileen Bowser, Museum of Modern Art Film Department Comments on previous volumes: "The source of last resort for finding socially valuable . . . films that received such scant attention that they seem 'lost' until discovered in the AFI Catalog."--Thomas Cripps "Endlessly absorbing as an excursion into cultural history and national memory."--Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.
