Synopsis

Miss Helena Wainwright is determined to see her nieces and nephew well settled with their new guardian, the Duke of Rotherham. After six months of transition, the children are beginning to bond with their uncle, but Helena and the Duke aren’t able to get much past the barest of civilities. Now that the duke is poised to offer for the shy Miss Fanshawe, Helena is horrified to discover an awful secret about the young lady and her scheming mother. What is she going to do--keep the secret or reveal all in her own bid for the duke’s heart? Ready to settle down and provide a stable environment for his wards, Vernon Wroxby, the Duke of Rotherham, has decided the amenable Miss Fanshawe will do, even if he dislikes her outspoken, uncouth mama. If he could just quit wondering what Miss Wainwright is doing (and with whom) he’d be able to appreciate the match a bit more. But as his wards begin to rebel against the idea of this marriage, and he starts to realize that his affections really reside with Miss Wainwright, will one determined marriage-mart mama ruin any chance he might have for true happiness?

bio

Author Biography

I grew up on a diet of Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, and many other writers of that period. I also love history and generally find the past more fascinating than the future. I have been steeped in Regency writers since I was a teenager. From Jane Austen to Georgette Heyer, I read 'em all! I love writing Regency romances because they are romantic, fun and enable me to create feisty heroines and hunky heroes. I hope you'll enjoy my stories!

Meet Wuffles!

I love creating quirky, unusual characters and somehow animals always manage to sneak into my stories. They also somehow manage to play a memorable part, however small. Wuffles, Lady Ormsby's pug, expresses his poor opinion of Mrs. Fanshawe's elaborate and tasteless hat.

Book Excerpt

The Wayward Miss Wainwright

The sight of the pandemonium in play brought Lady Ormsby and Helena to a halt on the threshold. Wuffles had somehow managed to leap up and pull Mrs. Fanshawe’s elaborate hat off her head. He now dragged it around the room, growling and shaking his prize in triumph. Mrs. Fanshawe lay prostrate on the sofa, sobbing, and screaming for Emily to “catch that bleedin’ dog.” Emily, on her hands and knees, pulled at one side of the maltreated confection in an effort to coax Wuffles to release his trophy.

Helena took one look at the chaos and burst out laughing. So did Lady Ormsby. Their combined mirth affected even Emily, who gave up the tussle and sat on the floor, giggling. Mrs. Fanshawe’s face turned scarlet with rage. Wuffles managed to rip a large bunch of purple grapes off the crown of the hat and tossed it into the air with an exultant yap.
