A Lady of Letters
Andrea Pickens
Words of Passion
In high society circles, Lady Augusta Hadley is
expected to act demure and look pretty for the wife-
seeking lords of the ton. To express her political views
without fear of being ostracized, she pens editorials
under the name "Firebrand"-but despite her efforts
to conform, her brash personality has made her a
pariah among gentlemen. ..especially with the Earl of
Sheffield.
Bored with the frivolous lifestyle of a notorious rake,
Sheffield takes to politics and speaks of the country's
social ills in Parliament. Encouraged by the words of
the "Firebrand," he begins a correspondence, creating
a close friendship with the mysterious writer. But how
would Sheffield react if he knew that "Firebrand" was
actually Augusta-a woman whose personality not
only infuriates him, but arouses his ire with a passion
he never believed he'd find?
