Julia Justiss

Long before embarking on romantic adventures of her own, Julia Justiss read about them, transporting herself to such favourite venues as ancient Egypt, World War II submarine patrols, the Old South and, of course, Regency England. Soon she was keeping notebooks for jotting down story ideas. When not writing or traveling, she enjoys watching movies, reading and puttering about in the garden trying to kill off more weeds than flowers.

    "Society's Most Disreputable Gentleman" is a most charismatic gentleman indeed! Julia Justiss has created a charming character study of Greville Anders, the only son of a nobleman's younger son. Without a title, and a clear ambition, Greville lives a life of seemingly carefree debauchery. After serving a minor role in the battle of Waterloo, Greville returns home and is made the manager of one of his titled cousin's minor estates. Willingly turning over the management duties to one of his associates, Greville resumes his life of partaking in pleasurable pursuits. When he discovers that the man has been embezzling from the estate, Greville confronts him only to be knocked unconscious, kidnapped, and pressed into serving on a man-of-war. After being seriously injured in battle, Greville is returned to England and given lodging for his recovery at the estate of Lord Bronning. The Lord's beautiful daughter, Amanda, is not impressed by her first sight of Greville in his tattered and stained traveling clothes. However, seeing him after he has rested and obtained more suitable attire, Amanda realizes that is quite a handsome gentleman. He is also a gentle man, with a sly wit and a disarming sensuality. Amanda, who has put off her Season more than once due to family concerns, is just about to depart for London. She has never met a man like Greville, and he sets her mind awhirl and places her thoughts for her future in disarray. She was born to be the wife of a titled man of wealth, and Greville has neither of those things. Their attraction to each other continues to grow, and for the first time in his life, Greville finds himself in love. Amanda is equally smitten, and she is torn between her duty as a Lord's daughter and the desires of her heart. Circumstances dictate that she indeed finally will have her Season, and Greville remains at her father's estate while Amanda journeys to London. Due to the poor health of Amanda's father, Greville steps in to help manage the estate and discovers that not only is he capable of the task, he finds it to be quite pleasant and rewarding. On the other hand, while Amanda finds much to enjoy in London, she ultimately decides to return to her home without accepting a marriage proposal. There is only one man who holds the key to her heart, and that is her "disreputable gentleman". You will enjoy the personal growth of these two characters as they learn much about themselves while they struggle to find their place in the world. They bring out the best in each other, and you will root for them to have their "happily ever after".
