Dangerous Alliance: An Austentacious RomanceAuthor: Jennieke Cohen
Genre: YA Historical Romance
Release Date: December 3, 2019
Publisher: HarperTeen
Synopsis:
The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue meets Jane Austen in this witty, winking historical romance with a dash of mystery!
Lady Victoria Aston has everything she could want: an older sister
happily wed, the future of her family estate secure, and ample
opportunity to while her time away in the fields around her home.
But now Vicky must marry—or find herself and her family destitute. Armed
only with the wisdom she has gained from her beloved novels by Jane
Austen, she enters society’s treacherous season.
Sadly, Miss Austen has little to say about Vicky’s exact circumstances:
whether the roguish Mr. Carmichael is indeed a scoundrel, if her former
best friend, Tom Sherborne, is out for her dowry or for her heart, or
even how to fend off the attentions of the foppish Mr. Silby, he of the
unfortunate fashion sensibility.
Most unfortunately of all, Vicky’s books are silent on the topic of the
mysterious accidents cropping up around her…ones that could prevent her
from surviving until her wedding day.
