Who is most likely to hit an attacker over the head with a library book?
Annabeth Winfield (A ROGUE AT STONECLIFFE). An avid reader, she usually has a book at hand, and she’s never going down without a fight. You certainly don’t want to mess with her on the way to the library!
Who is most likely to hide a good deed?
Sloane Rutherford (A ROGUE AT STONECLIFFE) has a bad reputation and he likes it that way. It keeps the people he’d rather avoid at bay—and protects the ones he cares about. It’s not safe to get too close to Sloane. He’ll take the reason he gave up the woman he loved to the grave. Which might end up being sooner, rather than later.
Whose visit is most likely to send her relatives into panic?
Lady Lockwood, the matriarch of the Lockwood family in the STONECLIFFE series, takes over any place she visits, knows everyone’s weak spots, and never hesitates to give orders (even when she contradicts herself). And don’t think she’s any more docile at home—she’s also quite capable of whacking an intruder with her cane and sending him fleeing from her house. (A ROGUE AT STONECLIFFE).
Who is most likely to charm an ambassador?
Noelle Rutherford—as long the ambassador speaks one of the four languages she’s fluent in (English, French, Italian, and German). In AN AFFAIR AT STONECLIFFE, when commoner Noelle goes to a party thrown by Carlisle’s aristocratic mother, instead of being haughtily dismissed by the ton, she actually saves the day by being the only guest who is able to converse with the French ambassador’s wife.
Who is most likely to ruin a good pair of boots?
Petunia, Lady Lockwood’s beloved pug, delights in attacking gentlemen’s ankles. Carlisle (AN AFFAIR AT STONECLIFFE) has learned to never wear new boots when Lady Lockwood comes to stay.
Who is most likely to go along with any scheme to help his friend?
Nathan Dunbridge, best friends since childhood with Carlisle and Annabeth, can always be counted on. He stays at Stonecliffe to protect Gil, Noelle’s son and Carlisle’s ward, when they must leave in pursuit of the man threatening Gil’s life (AN AFFAIR AT STONECLIFFE). And in order to help Annabeth (A ROGUE AT STONECLIFFE), Nathan is not only willing to work with his oldest rival, Sloane, but he even participates in a charade with Annabeth’s irritating maid, Judy. Luckily, he’ll get to shine in his own story in the third Stonecliffe book, A SCANDAL AT STONECLIFFE, due out next summer.
Who is most likely to set the gossips talking when he walks into a party?
Sloane, of course. He’s always flouted tradition, but when he left England to become a smuggler, breaking Annabeth’s heart, he created a scandal that made him an outcast among the British aristocracy (A ROGUE AT STONECLIFFE).
Who is most likely to be fired for an impertinent attitude?
Judy, Annabeth’s maid. She’s likely to say whatever comes into her head … but she’s strangely good at warding off attackers. Even if she doesn’t hold on to her current employment, her future job prospects are bright with her extraordinary skill set.
Who is most likely to dodge his mother’s parties?
Carlisle Thorne (AN AFFAIR AT STONECLIFFE) avoids social occasions in general, but he particularly dislikes the political soirees his mother likes to put on—which might have something to do with the fact that after his father’s death, she married a politician and the two of them sent him to Stonecliffe to be raised by someone else.
Who is most likely to leave a gambling den possessing only his charm?
Marcus Rutherford, Sloane’s father, (A ROGUE AT STONECLIFFE), is overly fond of brandy and cards, but neither one is overly fond of him. Luckily for Marcus, many of Sloane’s hidden good deeds involve getting his dad out of the scrapes he is inevitably involved in.
Who is most likely to be invited to a slumber party?
Annabeth (A ROGUE AT STONECLIFFE) has a lot of very close friends for a good reason. She’s loyal, never gives up on those she loves, and she’s always willing to help out anyone in trouble. She’s the glue in her family and her social circle, the one who manages to make very different personalities work (or play) well together. Whether it’s a fun escapade or a dangerous adventure, she’d never think of not joining in.
A ROGUE AT STONECLIFFE by Candace Camp
New York Times bestselling author Candace Camp invites you back to Stonecliffe, where an unwelcome reunion between a lady and a rogue calls up old feelings…and new dangers.
When the love of her life left without any explanation, Annabeth Winfield moved on despairingly, knowing she’d never have a love as thrilling as her first ever again. Sloane Rutherford was roguish and daring, but as Annabeth grew up, she realized that their reckless romance was just a passing adventure, never meant for stability. Twelve years later, Annabeth is engaged to someone new, ready to start her life with a dependable man.
That’s when Sloane returns. And he brings with him a serious warning: Annabeth is in trouble.
After spending the past dozen years working as a spy, Sloane thought he’d left espionage behind him. But now a dangerous blackmailer is after Annabeth. Sloane offers to hide his former lover at Stonecliffe, the Rutherford estate, but stubborn Annabeth demands to be part of the investigation. As the two embark on a dangerous and exciting journey, memories of their past romance resurface. Sloane and Annabeth aren’t the wide-eyed children they used to be, but knowing they’re wrong for each other makes a nostalgic affair seem very right…
