The Wallflower’s Secret by Rose Pearson
When a scorned wallflower, Miss Julia Harbison, plots revenge on the roguish Lord Rushington, a dance floor mishap turns into a game of love and deception. Can truth and passion outshine vengeance?
When a drunken gentleman mistakes her for another on the dance floor, Miss Julia Harbison must battle the gossip and whispers alone. Without any apology or explanation, Lord Rushington leaves her to fade into the background, forcing her into the guise of a wallflower. Angry at his lack of consideration, Julia plots her revenge – to make him fall in love with her before shattering his heart to pieces.

However, his eye is caught by a mysterious young lady who hides away at the side of society but whose smiles pluck at his heart. All the more intrigued, he encourages her to step out a little more, finding himself entirely caught up with her.
When the truth is revealed, will Benedict confess how much he adores her? And can Julia bring herself to break the heart of the gentleman she has come to love?

Excerpt
“I am surprised that you would dare to show your face here.” Astonished, Julia reared back, blinking rapidly, as the gentleman she had seen glaring at her from across the ballroom now stood before her, swaying a little from one side to the other. Her hand clamped itself strongly around Lord Charleston’s arm, her heart beating wildly as she stared at the gentleman, seeing his wide eyes and his hand pointing at her. “After what you have done, I would have thought that you would have hidden yourself away, far from where society could reach you. The audacity of your presence is –”
“Pardon me, but I do not know what you speak of.” Heat built in her face as she waved him away, aware that his voice was loud enough now to carry to the very edges of the ballroom. Despite her fright, she drew herself up, realizing that there had been a misunderstanding as to who she was, but also seeing the need to defend herself. She did not want the ton to believe what was being said of her. “You mistake me for someone else. Do excuse me. I am to dance with Lord Charleston.”
To her horror, the gentleman grabbed her hand and held her back, leaving her pulled between two gentlemen. The weight of his words flung themselves at her one at a time, stacking up one on top of the other, pushing her onto the floor.
How can this mistaken identity disaster be happening to Julia, when she was so looking forward to the London Season! What will she do? Check out the rest of the story here. The Wallflower’s Secret
