Logo 3

This week’s  featured cover is from best-selling author Ella Quinn, a great friend of mine who has just released the first book, Three Weeks to Wed, in her new series The Worthingtons. Today’s book cover is from the second book in that series, When the Marquis Chooses a Bride.

When a Marquis Chooses a Bride

Cover Quote from Ella Quinn~ “The main reason I love this cover is because it’s beautiful! It also captures my two characters perfectly. This is Dominic and Dotty at the end of the book, when he has finally realized that he can let himself love her.”  

BLURB:

Thanks to their large extended family and unconventional courtship, The Worthingtons have seen their share of scandal and excitement. But nothing has prepared them for this…

The Dowager Lady Worthington isn’t quite sure what to make of country-girl Dorothea Stern. As the granddaughter of the Duke of Bristol, Dotty is schooled in the ways and means of the nobility…

Three Weeks to Wed hi res

In the first book of her dazzling new series, bestselling author Ella Quinn introduces the soon-to-be Earl and Countess of Worthington—lovers who have more in common than they yet know. The future promises to be far from boring…

Lady Grace Carpenter is ready to seize the day—or rather, the night—with the most compelling man she’s ever known. Marriage would mean losing guardianship of her beloved siblings, and surely no sane gentleman will take on seven children not his own. But if she can have one anonymous tryst with Mattheus, Earl of Worthington, Grace will be content to live out the rest of her life as a spinster.

Matt had almost given up hope of finding a wife who could engage his mind as well as his body. And now this sensual, intelligent woman is offering herself to him. What could be more perfect? Except that after one wanton night, the mysterious Grace refuses to have anything to do with him. Amid the distractions of the Season he must convince her, one delicious encounter at a time, that no obstacle—or family—is too much for a man who’s discovered his heart’s desire…

Want a chance to win a signed copy of Three Weeks to Wed? Enter Jenna Jaxon’s contest!

Jenna Jaxon Romance--because passion is timeless.

My Book of the Month for March is my time-travel romance Crashing Through Time, part of a boxed set called Crashing Into Love.  I’ll be running giveaways all month involving Crashing Through Time. For this week there is a signed copy of Ella Quinn’s Three Weeks to Wed, the first book in her The Worthingtons series.

CrashingIntoLove_HR

The authors in the set all started out with the premise that the hero and heroine are brought together because of a plane crash. Most couples were in the tropics, however, one was set in the Canadian Rockies, one on a “distant” island. Mine begins with a plane crash in Cornwall, England, where my American heroine soon discovers she’s not in Kansas any more!

The WINNER from the previous contest is

 Ashley F! 

( Ashley, I’ll be contacting you shortly.)

BLURB:

More than hearts can be broken when you crash through time.

Born in Clerkenwell, London, he was apprenticed at 16 to a druggist and printer, where he soon showed great literary promise. At 19, he began to write for Monthly Magazine, and a year later he was made secretary to the magazine’s proprietor and there began his career as a writer, editor, and antiquarian.

I spend a lot of time getting the houses in my books right. I even research the local building materials. These houses are gardens are so lovely I had to share.

Rakes And Rascals

HADDON HALL, BAKEWELL, DERBYSHIRE

Haddon Hall is considered to be the finest example of a fortified medieval manor house in England. It dates back to the 12th century and was begun by Peveril, the illegitimate son of William the Conqueror. The manor was forfeited to the Crown in 1153, later passing to one of Peveril’s tenants, William Avenal. It was then acquired by Richard Vernon in 1170, who married Avenal’s daughter. The Vernon family were responsible for most of the building at Haddon Hall, with the exception of Peveril Tower and part of the chapel, which already existed in 1170, and the Long Gallery which was added around 1600. It’s interesting to note that the manor was never bought or sold.

In 1563 Dorothy Vernon, heir to the manor, married (or according to local legend – eloped with) John Manners and the manor has been in the Manners’ family ever since. On…
