When a Marquis Chooses a Bride
by Ella Quinn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Historical Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Thanks to their large extended family and unconventional
courtship, the Worthingtons have seen their share of scandal and excitement.
But nothing has prepared them for this...
The Dowager Lady Worthington isn’t quite sure what to
make of country-girl Dorothea Stern. As the granddaughter of the Duke of
Bristol, Dotty is schooled in the ways and means of the nobility. But her sharp
wit and outspoken nature has everyone in a tizzy. Especially their cousin,
Dominic, the Marquis of Merton.
Prematurely stuffy, Dom was raised by his cheerless
uncle to be wary of a host of things, including innovation, waltzing, and most
perilous of all: true love. Still, there’s something about Dotty, beyond her
beauty, that Dom cannot resist. But the odds are against him if he intends to
win her as his bride. Will he choose loyalty to his family—or risk everything
for the one woman he believes is his perfect match…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
“Kimbal,” Dom called to his valet.
“Yes, my lord.”
“I shall be dining at White’s.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Dom scribbled a note to his friend
Viscount Fotherby asking if he would like to join Dom for dinner. By the time
he was dressed and had donned his hat, Fotherby’s answer affirming the
invitation had arrived.
A short while later, just as a light
sprinkle turned into a persistent rain, Dom handed his hat and cane to the
footman at White’s and found his friend lounging in the room that held the
club’s famous betting book. William Alvanley, another of Dom’s friends, was
seated next to the window with another man staring intently at the rain.
He turned to Fotherby. “What are
they doing?”
“Five thousand quid on which
raindrop will reach the bottom of the sill first.”
Despite being close with many of the
Prince Regent’s circle, Dom could not abide the excessive wagers his friends
made. Alvanley would end up ruining himself and his estates at the rate he was
going. “Are you ready to dine, or are you waiting the outcome?”
“Famished.” Fotherby tossed off his
glass of wine. “Thought you weren’t coming to Town this year.”
“My plans changed.” Dom and Fotherby
entered the dining room. “I have decided to take a wife.”
“Wife?” Fotherby choked. “Any idea
who?”
“Not yet, but I have a list of
qualifications. She must be well-bred, not given to fits of temper or strange
starts, quiet, biddable, easy to look at—I must get an heir on her after
all—know what is expected of a marchioness. And not prone to scandals. You know
how my uncle hated them. I think that about covers it.”
“A paragon, in other words.”
Dom gave a cut nod. “Indeed. I could
wed no one less.”
