A Question of Improprietyby Michelle StylesMichelle Styles has received the cover for her November UK release, A QUESTION OF IMPROPRIETY. Here's the blurb:

Diana Clare has had enough of London--the balls, the rakes you can never trust... Now, having returned home in disgrace, she is trying to forget what drove her from the ton.

But rake and gambler Brett Farnham, Earl of Coltonby, seems intent on making Diana remember exactly what it was like to be whirled around the ballroom and seduced by the glint in your partner's eye...

But Brett has 'mistress' rather than 'marriage' in mind, and Diana is not sure her reputation can stand up to another scandal...
You can read an excerpt of A QUESTION OF IMPROPRIETY here.
