After offending yet another Very Important Marquess—and imperiling her father’s diplomatic career—Ruby flees London for the holiday house of a glamorous (and better yet, absent) princess. Armed with a forged invitation and accompanied by her like-minded friends, Ruby arrives at the Cornwall estate expecting a summer of blissful freedom.Instead, she discovers a derelict mansion and the most suspiciously charming man she’s ever met.Former privateer and current con artist Captain Malcolm Archer has dragged his ramshackle crew into a new life. Posing as staff at a princess’s abandoned estate provides the perfect cover for Archer’s smuggling scheme (not to mention free rent). Everything’s going according to plan—until an unorthodox London heiress crashes the party.But when Archer and his crew attempt to frighten off their uninvited guests, Ruby’s unfazed by insect invasions and sham sea monsters. Harder to ignore? The scorching heat between the rakish pirate and the debutante who can see right through him. As sparks fly, deceptions run wild—because in this Great Cornish Fake Off, the only thing riskier than telling the truth is falling in love.* * *About the authors:Alexandra Vasti is a British literature professor by day and USA Today bestselling romance writer by night. After finishing her PhD at Columbia University, she moved to New Orleans with her family. Her books have received starred reviews from Publisher's Weekly, Booklist, Library Journal, BookPage, and Kirkus, and have been featured in The New York Times, NPR, Entertainment Weekly, People, and elsewhere.Jane Hadley lives under seven layers of blankets staring out into the cold tundra of Minnesota winter from behind her original wavy glass 1915 windows which she stubbornly won’t replace because old things are inherently valuable. She writes historical romance to explore the imperatives of love and belonging across time, and also as an excuse to think about kissing.Agenda?: 06:30 PM - 07:00 PMArrival?: 07:00 PM - 07:05 PMIntro and welcome?: 07:05 PM - 07:45 PMAuthor conversation?: 07:45 PM - 08:00 PMAudience Q&A?: 08:00 PM - 10:00 PMSigning - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/saint-paul/book-release-party-alexandra-vastis-scandal-of-the-summer/100001984722932719 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, parties, entertainment, holiday - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: St Mary's Episcopal Church - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 24.29, max: 24.29, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Saint Paul - **state**: MN - **country**: United States - **location**: St Mary's Episcopal Church - **lat**: 44.9453839 - **long**: -93.1802458 - **full address**: St Mary's Episcopal Church, 1895 Laurel Avenue, Saint Paul, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Book release party!
