Infamous

A Witty Historical Regency Romance Book



Bridgerton fans and readers of Scarlett Scott, Darcy Burke, and K.J. Jackson won’t want to miss this smart and stirring new holiday love story from the acclaimed author of Outrageous.

“Riveting, sensual, and intelligent . . . romance readers need this splendid book!” —USA Today bestselling author Vanessa Kelly

A mean girl reformed . . .
Once the reigning beauty of her social set, Celia—whom the newspapers dubbed Lady Infamous—has fallen on hard times and is practically destitute, her reputation in shreds. When Celia is forced to attend a society wedding as a companion to an elderly guest, she must confront the clique she once commanded; the gentleman she'd once hoped to marry—who is now wed to a girl Celia relentlessly taunted; and the powerful man who ruined her life a decade before—and is threatening to do so again. . . .

A hero transformed . . .
Then there is Richard, the studious boy Celia used to ridicule, who is now gorgeous, wealthy, and more-than-a-little famous. As a youth, Richard was infatuated with Celia. He still seems intrigued, but Celia has acquired a shocking secret along with her hard-won humility. Will it put an end to the love blossoming between them? Does she have the courage to find out?

Praise for Minerva Spencer’s Rebels of the Ton Series:

Unique characters and emotional depth...a winner. Spencer gives you all the feels!” —Sabrina Jeffries on Outrageous
 
“Brilliantly crafted…an irresistible cocktail of smart characterization, sophisticated sensuality, and sharp wit.”
Booklist STARRED REVIEW on Outrageous

“Sparkling…impossible not to love.” —Popsugar on Outrageous

Both characters are strong, complex, and believable, and the cliffhanger offers a nice setup for the sequel. Readers who like thrills mixed in with their romance should check this out.”Publishers Weekly on Outrageous

“Packed full of fiery exchanges and passionate embraces, this is for those who prefer their Regencies on the scandalous side.”Library Journal on Outrageous
 
“A standout…Spencer’s brilliant and original tale of the high seas bursts with wonderfully real protagonists, plenty of action, and passionate romance." —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review for Scandalous

"Spencer continues her outstanding Outcasts series with two characters from completely different backgrounds who share similar values and a sizzling passion. Along the way she explores love, freedom, friendship, and what it means to be a person of worth, especially by living on one's own terms. Sexy, witty, and fiercely entertaining." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review for Scandalous

"In the third exemplary addition to her Outcasts series, following Dangerous and Barbarous, Spencer once again rewards readers with the bold originality of her story lines - here she deftly explores the impact of the early nineteenth-century slave trade - the fearless unconventionality of her characters (including a hero tortured by his past and a take-no-prisoners heroine determined to help him), and an abundance of potent, sensually combustible chemistry she cooks up between her protagonists. Spencer is a storyteller of impressive flair." —Booklist, STARRED REVIEW for Scandalous
 
“In the latest installment of the Outcasts series, author Miranda Spencer shows that she has by no means lost her taste for juicy, refreshingly shocking characters that throw proper London society into a tizzy.” —Bookpage on Scandalous

“This diverting first in Spencer’s Outcasts Regency series features a matched set of high-ranking misfits whose love affair doesn’t even begin to play out until after their wedding…The fast-paced plot is elevated by Mia and Adam’s wicked repartee, savvy wit, and energetic libidos.” —Publishers Weekly on Dangerous
 
Dangerous is the first in Minerva Spencer’s new Outcasts series of Regency romances, and it has such deliciously juicy backstories for its charming protagonists that it’s impossible to imagine anything topping it….Spencer certainly succeeds in sweeping the reader up in the same dizzying whirl! Sexy and wildly entertaining, Dangerous is a promising romance debut.”  —BookPage on Dangerous
 
“Minerva Spencer's writing is sophisticated and wickedly witty. Dangerous is a delight from start to finish with swashbuckling action, scorching love scenes, and a coolly arrogant hero to die for. Spencer is my new auto-buy!" —New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Hoyt
 
“Two characters with secrets who unexpectedly find what they need in each other’s arms—Readers will love this lusty and unusual marriage of convenience story.” —New York Times bestselling author —Madeline Hunter
 
“Fans of Amanda Quick’s early historicals will find much to savor in Spencer’s exuberantly crafted, exhilaratingly plotted, and erotically charged sophomore literary effort that quickly proves to be every bit as much fun as her stellar debut, Dangerous (2018).” —Booklist, STARRED REVIEW for Barbarous
 
“Spencer’s gleeful second Outcasts historical is just as much fun as the first…Scintillating…Readers will particularly appreciate Spencer’s considerable talent with bedroom scenes as this romance rockets to its satisfying conclusion.” —Publishers Weekly on Barbarous
