Scandal of the Summer by Alexandra Vasti

A proper lady on the run. A charming smuggler with secrets of his own. One unforgettable summer on the Cornish coast.

Scandal of the Summer follows eccentric heiress Lady Ruby Ballimore, who flees the pressures of London's Marriage Mart after causing one scandal too many. Hoping for a summer of freedom, she and her friends sneak into the seaside estate of an absent princess—only to discover it's already occupied by Captain Malcolm Archer, a former privateer posing as the estate's butler while secretly running a smuggling operation. As disguises, deceptions, and unexpected adventures unfold, Ruby and Archer find themselves drawn together in a romance neither of them saw coming.

Alexandra Vasti delivers a sparkling Regency romance layered with laugh-out-loud banter, irresistible chemistry, and delightfully chaotic hijinks. Charming, adventurous, and wonderfully romantic, this story blends opposites-attract tension, found family, and seaside escapades into the perfect historical rom-com.

Perfect for readers who love:
• Regency romance
• pirates and smugglers
• opposites-attract romance
• witty banter and adventure
