Synopsis
When
a bridal contract is struck, either parental outrage will void the
arrangement or the love of a child will sweeten the deal.
Oliver
Darrington—Viscount Tralsburg—wants nothing more than to hide out at the
family property in Brighton until he can secure a sea-worthy ship and
return to adventuring the world. However, being handed his former
mistress’ child isn’t part of that plan. Neither is the sudden longing
for his pretty Italian neighbor.
Eloisa Hawthorne is in dire
straits. Her older brother has gambled away her sister’s hand to a
horrible man. In order to save her sister’s virtue and her future,
Eloisa needs a fast fortune—or someone who can immediately cover the
debt. When her handsome neighbor offers a temporary engagement contract,
she accepts with alacrity. Too bad she fell in love with his
dark-haired offspring. How scandalous!
When the two attend his
mother’s London dinner party, Oliver wishes the union wasn’t merely a
lark. Eloisa fears for the adorable child’s upbringing in heathen
locales, but what can she do? The contract is only for a month, and love
was never an option. Something must be done to throw over convention
before the moment is lost and matters of the heart are sacrificed.
About the Author
Sandra
is a writer of romantic fiction. In the past couple of years she’s
concentrated on funny contemporary romance as well as Regency-era
romance, but she will, on occasion, write paranormal or sci-fi. Whether
you like sweet or erotic heat levels, there’s something for everyone to
fall in love with. She’s also a hybrid author, choosing to publish both
with small presses and doing the indie thing.
Offered
representation in February 2014 by Scott Eagan at Greyhaus Literary
Agency for Victorian-era historical romances, Sandra’s been hard at work
researching, planning and writing a new series. When not immersed in
creating new worlds and engaging characters, Sandra likes to read, bake,
taste new teas, watch The Big Bang Theory and Psych as well as Finding
Bigfoot, and travel. Her favorite place to spend vacation hours is Walt
Disney World: it’s where dreams come true and the soul can play. When
she’s not writing or inventing new recipes, she spends time with her
husband—goofing off and making moments count. Life’s too short to be
serious all the time.
Sandra loves to hear from her readers. You
