Publication Date: September 16, 2014
Genres: Historical, Regency, Romance
About the book:
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 can write to her at
