From the back cover

For years, Circe Hill waited for David, earl of Westbury, to notice her. She had loved him for so long, but it seemed as if she loved in vain. Until one day, her dream finally comes true, David wants to court her-just for all the wrong reasons.

To David, Circe had always been his best friends sister-in-law, and the last person he would ever think of in a romantic way. Which was what made her so ideal for his plan-he needed a suitable girl to pretend to court for the Season, and Circe was the perfect candidate. But he didnt tell Circe the true reason for the pretense

Circe could sense that there was something David was hiding from her, and she was determined to discover the truth. But she was also determined to show him that she was now a passionate woman-and one who knew a lot more about seduction than he could ever suspect

By 1822, Circe Hill feels her unrequited love for David Lydford will remain one sided though she has wished seemingly forever otherwise. However, David needs to court someone as a disguise to hide a dangerous diplomatic mission he performs so he rationalizes that Circe because of her perfect lineage and unquestionable respectability is the one. However, he really selects Circe because to him she will always be the kid sister of the wife of his best friend and so passion and love will never enter the equation.

However six years have passed since David last seen Circe who has just returned from studying art with the continent's masters. The Circe of his memory is not the beautiful woman enticing his heart and soul. This makes his mission even more dangerous as he struggles to concentrate on anything but the woman he now loves.


Readers who desire an action packed Regency romance starring two delightful protagonists need not wait any longer as Nicole Byrd delivers the goods with her latest tale, LADY IN WAITING. The story line would be typical of the sub-genre except for the strong cast that includes the return of the stars of the delightful DEAR IMPOSTOR and intriguing refreshing subplots that cleverly tie back to the prime courting theme. The lead couple charms the audience as Circe tries to seduce her initially unwilling but soon convert David into a lifetime together, which leaves the audience psyched for Ms. Byrd's next triumph.
