Make that two problems: He has a beautiful sister to marry off -- but no money to fund a London Season for her. Perhaps he needs to find an heiress for himself first? SOPHIE – Miss Sophie Ryecroft is willing to marry for the good of the family -- but since she can't meet the sort of man Rye has in mind for her except in London, she’s looking for alternatives. MIRANDA --Rye and Sophie's mother, the dowager (but still young) Lady Ryecroft, will do anything for the sake of her children -- even taking up again with a man she knew long ago, and offering to be his mistress. Only in London can the Ryecrofts find their destinies…

“For readers worldwide, the attraction of romance novels seems to be that they provide hope, strength, and the assurance that happy endings are possible. Romance makes the promise that no matter how bleak things sometimes look, in the end everything will turn out right and true love will triumph -- and in an uncertain world, that's very comforting.”
Leigh Michaels, On Writing Romance: How to Craft a Novel That Sells

Leigh Hey, Rox! Not figuring on RWA this year -- too much other travel. (San Francisco in April, Missouri in July, Atlanta in October.) But I'll miss seeing you and it would have been fun to do New York and Gotham. Sigh.

Have you ever gone to Ozark Romance Authors in Springfield, MO? It's a great conference -- I'll be there July 23. Would be a dandy road trip for the CR people! (www.ozarkromanceauthors.com)

Roxanne Rustand Hi Leigh!!!!!
