Your Scandalous Ways (25 page)

Lord Byron's spelling, like that of many people of the time, including Jane Austen, is more haphazard than ours. His punctuation is distinctively his own. So no, those are not typos in the poem excerpts. Those are…Byron.

Thanks to:

Anna Baldi for helping me put the correct Italian words in my characters' mouths.

Owen Halpern, Sherrie Holmes, Margaret Evans Porter, and Katherine Shaw for their invaluable help with matters Venetian.

My family and friends, with special thanks to Walter, Cynthia, Mary Jo, Nancy, and Twin Girl.

About the Author

LORETTA CHASE holds a B.A. from Clark University, where she majored in English and minored unofficially in visual art. Her past lives include clerical, administrative, and part-time teaching at Clark and a Dickensian six-month experience as a meter maid. In the course of moonlighting as a corporate video scriptwriter, she fell under the spell of a producer who lured her into writing novels…and marrying him. The union has resulted in more than a dozen books and a number of awards, including the Romance Writers of America's RITA
®
