Om denne e-boken
“Mansfield gives readers another classic treat with this charmingly sweet romance, a regency notable for its polished writing and gleaming wit” (Booklist).
An arrogant spinster, a dashing rake, and an unsigned painting: The Girl With the Persian Shawl was a strangely bewitching masterpiece that had hung in the Rendell household for generations. Kate Rendell graciously let the dashing Lord Ainsworth view the work and was outraged when he dared to insinuate that the painting came into the family by nefarious means. She was unfazed that Lord Ainsworth left her estate believing she was little more than an arrogant spinster. But everything changed when she discovered that her beloved but flighty younger cousin was to be betrothed to . . . a rake!

Om forfatteren
Paula Schwartz wrote and published more than two dozen Regency romances, writing as Elizabeth Mansfield. Under various pseudonyms, she also wrote an American immigrant family saga, A Morning Moon (as Paula Reibel), and two American history romances, To Spite the Devil (as Paula Jonas) and Rachel’s Passage (as Paula Reid). Paula Schwartz was born in the Bronx and went to Hunter College. She started teaching drama and English as a junior high school teacher, then a high school teacher, and finally a college teacher. She was married and had a son and a daughter. She wrote plays and humor pieces before starting her career as a novelist, and shortly thereafter, in 1973, she began writing full time.
Paula Schwartz died in December 2003. An interview with the author from 2001 is posted on the All About Romance website at www.likesbooks.com/mansfield.
