Lady Be Good by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780739400319.

From New York Times best-selling author Susan Elizabeth Phillips comes another irresistible romance filled with wit and wonder - guaranteed to send your spirit soaring. No other writer touches the emotions so delightfully! From Publishers Weekly: Flying from England to Texas, Lady Emma Wells-Finch meets world-famous pro golfer Kenny Traveler. She assumes that hes a gigolo and decides that hes just the man to relieve her of her virginity in order to get the stuffy, oafish Duke of Beddington out of her hair. Kennys need to avoid scandal to save his career conflicts with Emmas need to invent scandal to free her from her English admirer. The results are hilarious. In a secondary plot line that mirrors Lady Emmas predicament with the duke, Kennys seemingly flighty sister, Torrie, as beautiful as Kenny is handsome, is being forced by her father to marry geek Dexter OConner. Dexter and Lady Emma have their work cut out for them, for Kenny and Torries respective childhoods have left them scarred and incapable of adult relationships. Some outstanding secondary characters join this foursome, including those from Phillipss earlier Fancy Pants. Her Texas settings and sportsmen as heroes continue to shine, and her playful homage to the peculiarities of wealthy Texas women and small towns is dead-on. Phillipss newest is well written, funny, sexy and altogether satisfying. Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
