The French surveillance officers can’t bear to read his work closely enough to recognize the information drowned in a sea of verbiage. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew York-born Emma Morris Delagardie is a thorn in Augustus’s side. An old school friend of Napoleon’s stepdaughter, she came to France with her uncle, eloped with a Frenchman, and has been rattling around the salons of Paris ever since. Now widowed, she entertains herself by holding a weekly salon, and loudly critiquing Augustus’s poetry. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Napoleon pursues his plans for the invasion of England, Whittlesby hears of a top-secret device to be demonstrated at a house party. The catch? The only way in is with Emma, who has been asked to write a masque for the weekend’s entertainment. In this complicated masque within a masque, nothing goes quite as scripted—especially Augustus’s unexpected feelings for Emma. Praise for the Pink Carnation novels:\u003cbr\u003e“Willig’s sparkling series continues to elevate the Regency romance genre.”—\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e “Jane Austen for the modern girl.”—\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Bestselling Author Christina Dodd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The author’s conflation of historical fact, quirky observations and nicely-rendered romances results in an elegant and grandly entertaining book.”—\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e“There are few authors capable of matching Lauren Willig’s ability to merge historical accuracy, heart-pounding romance, and biting wit.” \u003ci\u003e—BookPage \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eThe author of eight previous Pink Carnation novels, \u003cb\u003eLauren Willig\u003c\/b\u003e received a graduate degree in English history from Harvard University and a J.D. from Harvard Law School, though she now writes full-time.","brand":"Berkley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46303866192101,"sku":"NP9780451415608","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780451415608.jpg?v=1767739469","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-garden-intrigue-isbn-9780451415608","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
