The Steepwood Scandal is a sixteen-book multi-author series published in 2001 and 2002. Set in the fictional community of Steepwood, each book follows a different couple whose romance unfolds against the backdrop of a scandal that affects the entire community.
Elizabeth Bailey is one of several authors who contributed to this series. The shared-world concept means that characters and events from one book may appear in others, creating a richer picture of the community. The format was popular with Regency romance publishers and gave readers a reason to follow the entire sequence.
