An Exciting New Voice in Regency Romance
Lady Georgina Hawthorne has worked tirelessly to seal her place as the Incomparable for her debut season. At her first London ball, she hopes to snag the attention of an earl.
With money and business connections, but without impeccable bloodlines, Colin McCrae is invited everywhere but accepted nowhere. When he first encounters the fashionable Lady Georgina, he’s irritated by his attraction to a woman who concerns herself only with status and appearance.
What Colin doesn’t know is that Georgina’s desperate social aspirations are driven by the shameful secret she harbors. Association with Colin McCrae is not part of Georgina’s plan, but as their paths continue to cross, they both must decide if the realization of their dreams is worth the sacrifices they must make.

Summary
An incredibly lovely story beginning with the cover itself, the unique presentation of perspective, and the charming, clever conversations tucked between nearly every page.
Lady Georgina Hawthorne is determined that marriage to the right suitor will guard a lifelong secret, one that even her closest family and friends are totally unaware plagues her conscience. Until Colin McCrae, a dear friend of her brother-in-law, successful but not titled, feasts his eyes upon the beautiful, but rather conceited young debutante. Up until now, no one in Georgina's elite social associations has dared to probe beneath the Georgina's icy emotional veneer. Imagine her utter dismay when the handsome Scottish businessman becomes the obnoxious little voice in her head, that whispers the truth; "You don't have to protect yourself. You are safe."
On most days, Colin McCrae doesn't even want to like Georgina Hawthorne, much less nourish an attraction, but for some reason they continually cross paths. It's obvious to everyone that Colin does not meet her impossible standards for a husband, but neither can he cannot prevent himself from blocking her attempts at foolishness. And then, he sees into her heart, transforming "An Elegant Facade" into the kind of story that pulsates with tender romance while dangling over a precipice of disaster.
