Description:

In the tradition of Kathleen Woodiwiss and Rosemary Rogers, Splendor is classic romance at its best. Comprising a rich tapestry of characters, Brenda Joyce's novel brings to life the intrigue-filled parlors of Regency England and the hauntingly beautiful cities of war-torn Russia. Bluestocking Carolyn Browne, daughter of a bookseller, is both brilliant and daring: by day she sells books; by night she masquerades as a gentleman to collect fodder for the scandalous gossip column she writes for a London newspaper. When the dashing Russian Prince Nicholas Sverayov arrives in London on a mission, Carolyn plots to expose the notorious rake. But she underestimates Sverayov, and finds herself deeply attracted to him. Sverayov, though, is unable to commit to Carolyn because although he and his wife are estranged, his daughter and country must come first. Carolyn has always lived by her principles and finds she must compromise if she is meant to be with this dashing, courageous hero.
