Growing up in Northern Yorkshire, twin sisters Ophelia and Cordelia Applegate are total opposites. Ophelia constantly gets into trouble as she has a tendency to leap into the fire while chasing her dreams; Cordelia is pragmatic, thinking things through before taking action, except when it comes to bailing out her sister from her latest disaster.
Ophelia's latest quest is to perform on the London stage. She tries to obtain work as an actress, but everyone rejects her. As she and her twin face abject poverty, the Sheffield cousins Ransom and Giles, a Reverend, come to their rescue, offering them a place to stay while Ophelia continues seeking her break. As Cordelia falls in love with Ransom and Ophelia with Giles, each sibling worries they will be hurt; Ransom is a rake and a preacher would never wed an actress.
A LADY OF SCANDAL is a fun, historical romance starring likable sisters and the hunk cousins who fall in love with them. The lighthearted storyline moves briskly as Ophelia lands the siblings into one problematic scenario after another while Cordelia struggles to get them out of her sister's latest fiasco. Though some might wonder why Cordelia fails to heed Einstein's definition of insanity (anachronism aside), readers will enjoy this jocular tale of love two times.
