โOne of the finest romance authors of all time.โ

New York Timesย bestselling author Loretta Chase follows her historical romance gem,ย Silk is for Seductionย (nominated for 2011ย Romantic Timesย Reviewerโs Choice Award for Best Regency-Set Historical Romance) with yet another winner. This time,ย Scandal Wears Satin, as the second sister from a somewhat scandalous aristocratic familyโthe purveyors of one of Londonโs most fashionable shopsโfinds passion and a love as sumptuous as the gorgeous gowns she creates. Superstar romance author Susan Elizabeth Phillips says Loretta Chase has โa rare talent for creating crackling sexual tension and characters so fresh and compelling that readers wonโt be able to forget them.โ Chase fans, as well as Stephanie Laurens and Julia Quinn readers, will most assuredly agreeโespecially when they meet feisty Sophy and the rakish earl whose help (and heart) she enlists in order to win the patronage of a dowager lady.
Loretta Chase has worked in academe, retail, and the visual arts, as well as on the streetsโas a meter maidโand in video, as a scriptwriter. She might have developed an excitingly checkered career had her spouse not nagged her into writing fiction. Her bestselling historical romances, set in the Regency and Romantic eras of the early 19th century, have won numerous awards, including three from the Romance Writers of America. They have been published in a great many different languages, which she wishes she could read.
