Chasing Byron — Molly Zenk

The Plan. Bored with her Midlands England hometown of Southwell, Mariah Woodhouse sought a better life: travel, excitement, society. Until she could escape, she read everything she could get her hands on. She fell in love with her favorite writer, Lord Byron. The Intrigue. And who should appear at her parents' inn where she worked. None other than the handsome, sophisticated Lord Byron-in the flesh. Soon stalked by the demented Lady Caroline Lamb. The Plot. With the help of her best friend, Walter Weylons, she devises a way to bait Lord Byron into seducing her. Unfortunately for Walter, who has always loved her, the deceptive plan works.
