The Countess Invention

Deaf, disillusioned by love, and living on secrets, Cassandra Cullen clings to her anonymity, earning money with her inventions. Only her father thinks she'll ever marry.

When her best customers wish to meet in person, she devises a desperate plan: to hide her secret identity by asking her favorite correspondent, the sinfully handsome Dr. Burke, to take her place.

Oliver Burke is trying to forget the horrors of war by indulging in gin and women, both of which he adores. He'd never abandon a brilliant, beautiful lady; but he doesn't believe in masquerades.

If he learns all Cass' secrets, he might shatter the life she loves - and her heart.

The Countess Invention is about two people who have to believe in each other to find dizzying pleasure, devastating heartbreak... and forever love.

It's a historical Regency romance novel with steamy moments and sweet ones, of about 350 pages.It includes an admittedly bad attempt at cross-dressing and a woman who believes in pockets. It also includes a beautiful man who has made love to too many ladies and a Happily Ever After!

The Countess Invention is a standalone book! but if you enjoyed it, check out Not Like a Lady, the story of Cass' favorite customers, or follow Cass' cousin Selene in What a Duchess Does.
