| Publisher Description: Lord Byron was the greatest writer and the most notorious, scandalous lover of his age--an irresistible attraction for a sheltered, bookish, and passionate young woman like Eliza Esmond. Eliza believes she's met Byron on the doorstep of his publisher, and that her dreams have come true when he arranges to meet her in secret. But what if the man she believes to be Byron is someone else--a look-alike named John Polidori, who once toured Europe as Byron's doctor? |
