These scones are just the thing to have with a cup of tea while enjoying one of my sexy Regency romances.

Scones

3 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

5 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 c. butter

1 egg, beaten

1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Cut in butter. Mix egg and milk together separately then add to the dry ingredients and butter.

Knead on a floured surface and then roll out 1/2" thick. Cut into triangles or circles and bake about 15 mins.

She's back and she's in trouble.

After a summer in the country Lady Katherine and her husband, Thomas, return to London to participate in all the festivities available to a Lord and his Lady. The scandal that forced them to marry is long forgotten and they are at the top of the social ladder.

In addition to the pleasures of an active social life, Lady Katherine is thrilled to learn that the friend who abandoned her in her time of need, Lady Lorena Arnold, is now the subject of a salacious scandal. Katherine can hardly believe her good fortune when she observes Lady Arnold en route to a tryst. But, before she can share the juicy tidbit with the other ladies of the ton, her husband lays down the law: No Gossip.

Will Katherine be able to keep her tale to herself? And if not, will her tail be at risk of a brisk spanking from the stern but loving Lord Winchester?
