Wenna
The
lady’s maid meets her match…
Wenna
Chenoweth’s future is secure, until dashing Devon Courtney’s illicit flirtation
gets her dismissed from her job as a lady’s maid. With nowhere to turn, Wenna
is forced to accept Devon’s bold proposal: To be his bride. To enter society on
the handsome aristocrat’s arm. To give him the heir he requires. It’s a
foolproof plan. Except Wenna finds herself falling hard for a man who can never
love her for who she is….
Wenna is
passionate, mysterious, and ill-suited to the idle life of a society wife.
She’s also exactly the kind of woman who could endanger Devon’s hopes to build
his own future far from his family’s influence. For the spirited beauty has
embarked on an unthinkable plan of her own—one that could lead him to surrender
his resolve, and sacrifice everything he believes he holds dear….
Yet amid
the wondrous landscape of colonial South Australia, anything is possible.
Perhaps even love between two people the boundaries of society would keep
apart….
Schooling the Viscount
Welcome
to Puddling on the Wold, where the sons and daughters of Victorian nobility
come for a little rest, recuperation, and “rehab,” in this brand-new series of
rebellious romance from Maggie Robinson.
After a
harrowing tour of duty abroad, Captain Lord Henry Challoner fought to keep his
memories at bay with two of his preferred vices: liquor and ladies. But the gin
did more harm than good—as did Henry’s romantic entanglements, since he was
supposed to be finding a suitable bride. Next stop: The tiny village of
Gloucestershire, where Henry can finally sober up without distraction or
temptation. Or so he thinks…
A simple
country schoolteacher, Rachel Everett was never meant to cross paths with a
gentleman such as Henry. What could such a worldly man ever see in her? As it
turns out, everything. Beautiful, fiercely intelligent Rachel is Henry’s dream
woman—and wife. Such a match would be scandalous for his family of course, and
Rachel has no business meddling with a resident at the famed, rather draconian,
Puddling Rehabilitation Foundation. All the better, for two lost souls with
nothing to lose—and oh so very much to gain.

EXCERPT:
Wenna
“Does the color suit me?”
“It looks better on Mrs. Brook,” she said, her chin
raised. “With respect.” Evading his gaze, she scooped one hand around the
bodice of the at his chest height and the other under the fullness of the
skirts. The top of the gown dropped onto her arm, but the bottom didn’t move.
She tugged.
He might have not noticed the lace had caught
beneath the placket of his fly buttons had she not given an almighty jerk,
which almost pulled him forward. Strangely, his voice came out husky. “You’re
gripping my fly. I don’t mind, of course, but if you leave your fingers there,
I’m liable to think far too kindly of you.”
She reared back, only to be stopped by the skirts
again. “Can you—oh dear Lord—untangle the lace from yourself?”
He glanced down, trying not to laugh again. “I’ll
likely need to unbutton my trousers.”
“Better you than me,” she said, staring at his fly
with exasperation.
“I don’t want to damage the gown. You’ll be
quicker.”
“Stand still.” She worked the fingers of one hand
into the material, apparently trying to feel her way to the right button.
“That’s good,” he said encouragingly. “A little
lower.”
She lifted her head. “I’m not doing this for your
amusement.”
“I’m not as amused as I was. Now I’m downright
interested, which you will feel if you keep groping blindly in that area. You
can either get down on your knees to see what you are doing, which will
maintain my interest, or we can go into my bedroom, where I can fiddle around
with my trousers without an audience.”
“Well, there’s a choice,” she said, sounding
frazzled.
Her fingers moved faster, his cock twitched for
attention, and suddenly the material came free.
“Chenoweth!” He turned his head and saw Patricia
standing at the end fo the passage, her eyes narrowed and her mouth tight.

Maggie Robinson
Maggie
Robinson didn’t know she wanted to write until she woke up in the middle of the
night once really annoyed with her husband. Instead of smothering him with a
pillow, she decided to get up and write—to create the perfect man—at least on a
computer screen. Only to discover that fictional males can be just as resistant
to direction as her husband. The upside is that she’s finally using her English
degree and is still married to her original, imperfect hero. Since she’s
imperfect, too, that makes them a perfect match. Until her midnight
keyboarding, she had been a teacher, librarian, newspaper reporter,
administrative assistant to two non-profits, community volunteer, and mother of
four in seven different states. Now Maggie can call herself a romance writer in
Maine. There’s nothing she likes better than writing about people who make
mistakes, but don’t let the mistakes make them.
