Nicola Cornickin historiallisessa viihderomaanissa touhutetaan skandaalinkäryisesti, onnellista loppua odotellen: Undoing of a lady (Mira, 2010; ISBN 978-0-7783-0388-6).
Cornick pyörittää tarinaan melkolailla reipasotteisesti, mutta mitenkään omaperäiseksi lopputulosta ei voi kehua, vaikka kieltämättä huumoriakin löytyy ja se sentään pelastaa paljon.
Courting scandal since girlhood, free-spirited Lady Elizabeth Scarlet vows there is just one way to save her childhood friend from a loveless marriage: to kidnap him! But Nathaniel is furious. So angry that he challenges her to take their assignation to its natural conclusion and seduce him.
When her inexperienced attempt flares into intense passion, Lizzie is ruined ... and hopelessly, unexpectedly, in love with Nathaniel, the Earl of Waterhouse. Now the wild and willful Lizzie must convince Nat that they are a perfect match - in every way.
