Portrait of a Scandal — Danielle Lisle

Scandals of Nobility:

The ton of Victorian England are looked upon as beings with sublime style, poise and grace-not to mention possessing of hefty coin purses. But on the inside, they are merely like every other man and woman, with wanton desires flowing through their regal veins. Vengeance also swims strong in that higher blood, thick and murky, with spite in abundance. A scandal is the only thing that can bring them down into the gutter, among the rest of London town.



Among those members full of self-importance, a few are decent and kind, but unfortunately their past moments of shame could come back to haunt them, threatening to destroy all they hold dear.

The one man she desires is the one man she can never marry, for if he knew the truth about her scandalous past, he would despise her.



During a time when women are required to be appealing, well mannered, but never opinionated, Lady Nellie struggles to find her place. She believes in speaking her mind, not caring if her words offend others, or how unladylike she seems. Yet one man, whom she primarily despises, finds her sharp tongue intriguing rather than uncivil.



Lord Sterling is heir to a dukedom and it is time he is married, yet all the girls of the season are dull and lifeless, to his mind. Well, all apart from Lady Nellie. Her flowered words are laced with insults -- insults that, rather than offending him, set his mind into a flutter, wondering if the passion in her voice will be as strong in the bedroom.

About the Author:

Living in the remote part of Australia called the Northern Territory, Danielle conforms to the typical Aussie persona. That is, if you think the typical Aussie sits around the BBQ with a beer in hand, dressed in a singlet, shorts and ‘pluggers' (rubber thongs) thinking nothing of the 35 degree celsius heat with 100% humidity and ignoring the snapping handbags (saltwater crocodiles) swimming nearby. Yep, Danielle is certainly that typical Aussie on weekends, but during the week, she is somewhat different.
