The Washington Post Book World has proclaimed that “Susan Howatch may well become the Anthony Trollope of the twentieth century.” Now, in Scandalous Risks, Howatch returns us to the English town of Starbridge, home to a great medieval cathedral and the religious, political, and sexual intrigues that whirl around it. It is into this charged atmosphere—in the already overheated 1960s—that a young woman searching for meaning in her life, and an older man prominent in the Church, begin moving inexorably toward emotional collision. As Venetia Flaxton edges closer to the threshold of a love affair with Neville Aysgarth, who is Dean of the Cathedral and old enough to be her father, his hidden emotional past and her moral conflict in the present lead them deeper and deeper into the mysteries of the human heart and soul. Here is a powerful and moving novel of good and evil, resolve and temptation, hope and despair. Praise for Scandalous Risks “Wonderful.”—The Cleveland Plain Dealer “Howatch is at her best when dealing with conflict, bringing a passion and tension to her portarit of people facing moral dilemmas.”—The Washington Post “Keep[s] one turning the pages.”—The New York Times Book Review “Passionate.”—Entertainment Weekly

Susan Howatch's global bestsellers have appeared regularly since the 1970s, but a radical shift in her subject matter in the 1980s and especially the 1990s made reviewers and then academics adjust their glasses and stare hard at her pages. Howatch began to take her loyal following of gothic and family-saga readers into unexpected psychological and theological depths, while taking to an extreme, with a serious-novel format, the experiments begun in her family sagas. She also introduced to her readers a character only half-alive in Trollope, the Anglican Church.

Only an Earl Will Do Lady Elizabeth Worthingham, a prominent figure in London society, is obligated to marry well without love, owing to her past mistakes. Henry Andrews, the rakish Earl of Muir, who once failed to act as a gentleman in her time of need, is back in England and is determined to make Elizabeth his wife. However, Elizabeth's reception is icy, and as past hurts and deceptions resurface, their love faces numerous obstacles. A mysterious foe threatens to thwart their love, making the future uncertain for the couple. Only a Duke Will Do Lady Isolde Worthingham captured the Duke of Moore's heart without a formal season, but a scandal on the eve of their wedding sends her fleeing to Scotland, leaving her plans shattered. The Duke, Merrick Mountshaw, dislikes his unhappy marriage and longs for Isolde's return. When she comes back to London, their love is challenged by societal norms and past hurts, raising questions about whether love can triumph in a world governed by strict rules. Only a Viscount Will Do Lady Alice Worthingham defies societal norms with her love for adventure and a sassy attitude. When a highwayman robs her, she discovers that her neighbor, Lord Arndel, leads a double life as the proper viscount by day and the Surrey Bandit by night. Unaware of his dual identity, Lady Alice seeks revenge when she learns the truth, making the gentleman thief pay for his crimes, including stealing his heart. Only a Marquess Will Do Lady Victoria, scarred by a failed marriage, helps her brother's friend, the socially awkward Marquess Albert Kester, find a match. As they navigate London's intricate social scene, Victoria unexpectedly finds herself falling for Albert. In this game of love, rules will be broken, and hearts may be at stake as they explore the fine line between duty and desire. Only a Lady Will Do Duke Josh Worthingham needs a proper lady as his duchess, but the only woman who captures his attention is the unconventional Miss Iris Cooper. Despite her humble connections, Iris dreams of a future with the duke. Can a stolen kiss make her dreams come true, or will their differences and Josh’s dark secret jeopardize their chance at happiness?

Buckle up folks, this is one wild ride. Brimming with true-life shockers and candid confessions, My Scandalous Little Rule Book is a self-help book like no other. Part naughty memoir, part advice column, author Jacquie Somerville irreverently spells out her rules for embracing risk, challenging the perceived "norm," and living a more exciting life. Using her "insane" stories (real-life escapades) to illustrate her "sane" solutions, Jacquie shows you how to be your own soul mate, reject mediocrity, and achieve a life without regrets. Enlightened by Jacquie’s vulnerability and honesty, My Scandalous Little Rule Book flies in the face of tradition. The premise of the book is to encourage people to “stop being so cautious – take a risk, achieve some major shit, and have some fun!” Jacquie argues that people typically play this game of life way too cautiously, and, in doing so end up slipping safely into the grave, having never lived. My Scandalous Little Rule Book aims to show readers how to avoid compromise and the “abyss of mediocrity.” Society is obsessed with the notion that in order to be happy, we have to find our “soul mate.” Jacquie is driven to debunk this myth and, as illustrated by her first “rule”, proves that the key to a life filled with love, happiness, purpose and passion lies in being your own soul mate! My Scandalous Little Rule Book opposes the notion of looking outward for fulfillment and argues that we need to start looking inward. We don’t need to find our soul mate; we need to be our own soul mate – a critical key message for this book. My Scandalous Little Rule Book inspires readers to embark on the journey of self-trust, embrace opportunities fearlessly, reject conformity and start living an exciting, adventurous life.
