'A feisty, free-thinking young woman, determined to make her mark in a man's world, discovers the high price of independence.

'When her dreams of breaking a major story are thwarted, journalist Maggie Almond accepts an offer to interview Claire Clairmont, sister of Frankenstein author Mary Shelley. At the same time she meets William Dodd, a fellow scribe. Their desire overrides their class difference and the views of 'respectable' society.

'Maggie's bold actions ignite scandal, bitterness and resentment. Long buried secrets are unearthed and her life veers along a treacherous path from which there is no turning back.

'Steamy, stirring and set in Victorian era London, Maggie Almond and the Scandalous Sister is perfect for fans of Bridgerton.' (Publication summary)
