Quills Volume 1
This book in the timeless new series, Regency Rakes, contains two irresistible historical romances.
'The Wagering Widow': The marriage gamble…
Guy, Lord Keating, laden with his father’s debts, elopes with ‘heiress’ Emily Duprey… only to discover she is as poor as he! Now his only hope of saving his family and dependants is a reluctant return to the gaming tables.
Emily has to escape marriage to a gamester like her father. But she needs more money than she can garner as Lady Keating, so she becomes ‘Lady Widow’—a card-playing masked seductress! Then Guy recognises the beautiful Widow as his quiet, mousy wife, and their inconvenient marriage takes an unexpected turn…
'The Bridegroom's Bargain': The wedding day deal…
‘Till death us do part’—a solemn wedding vow, and one Lord Deverell’s young bride ardently wishes to bring to fruition sooner rather than later, it seems! For only minutes after the wedding Alexandra is brandishing a pistol at her husband, accusing him of ruining her father and killing her brother.
So Deverell makes one more, wholly unexpected, vow: that he’s completely innocent of both crimes and will prove it. If after six months she isn’t totally convinced, then he’ll take the consequences. What he must do now is win Alexandra’s trust… using every means at his disposal!
