Three Things You Might Not Be Aware Of, and Maybe a Fourth
I am very thankful my eye issue turned out to beself-healing, no need for surgery! Phew! While I couldn’t write for a while, Icould do some other things on the computer, which might amuse you.First--I collected the rest of the Fortune’s Brides mainseries into duets. Engaging the Earl and the Viscount: Fortune’s Brides, theMiddle, includes Never Envy an Earl, in which a spy in hiding daresto fall in love with the earl protecting her. Its partner is Never Vie for aViscount, in which a perky socialite convinces her former love to take achance on teaching her the ins and outs of ballooning.
Marrying the Knight and the Marquess: Fortune’s Brides,the End, features Never Kneel to a Knight, in which an etiquetteteacher tries to hide her secret love for the boxer-turned-knight she ishelping. Its partner is Never Marry a Marquess, in which a shy younglady joins a grieving marquess in a marriage of convenience to care for hisfrail baby daughter. You can find the links to these and all the Fortune’sBrides series on my website here.
Second—I brought out as a standalone novella a story I hadpublished some years ago but is still one on my favorites. (Shh! Don’t tell theothers!) In An Engagement of Convenience, Chaperone Kitty Chapworthisn’t about to believe a gentleman’s silken promises, until charming rakeQuentin Adair returns to her life. Ten years ago, Kitty was instrumental incausing the poor fellow to be exiled.
