A Match for the Marquess
by Lillian Marek
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Historical Romance (Regency)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Decisions, decisions…
Should
Lady Anne Milhaven marry the wealthy and handsome young marquess, or should she
resign herself to living out her life in poverty and disgrace, exiled from the
world she was born to?
Should
Philip Tremaine, the new Marquess of Penworth, redeem his honor and marry the
proud and beautiful earl’s daughter whom he has unintentionally compromised, or
should he prove himself as dissolute as his contemptible family?
They
are not fools, but marriage is only the beginning. Now can they learn to work
together and thwart the vile plots of their scheming relatives?
A Match for the Marquess is the prequel to the Victorian
Adventures series.

EXCERPT ONE:
“That’s
enough from you, Anne,” Mrs. Craddock snapped. “I should not have bothered
asking you. You’ve always been jealous of Corinne. Now go to your room, and the
next time I see you, I want you to be wearing your cap. And what have you done
to that dress? Put on one of the others. Remember what you owe to our charity.”
Penworth
had had enough. His wife-to-be was not going to be disparaged in his hearing.
And she certainly wasn’t going to put that hideous cap back on her head.
He
stepped into the room and struck a dramatic pose with his arms outflung.
“Beloved,” he exclaimed, “our troubles are at an end!”
“My
lord?” Anne spoke uncertainly.
“I
knew that once he saw you again, the earl would love you as I do. He has agreed
to our marriage, and the wedding can take place at once.” Penworth stepped
quickly to her side and drew her into his arms. “Oh my darling, tell me that
you share my delight.”
Anne
looked up at him, and he saw the shock in her eyes change to uncertainty and
then to amusement. “Oh, my lord,” she said, “my joy is equal to your own.”
At
that Philip gave a shout of laughter. She was indeed quick-witted, and he
doubted that her aunt could recognize the sardonic note in her voice. He pulled
her close and kissed her soundly.

AUTHOR BIO:
When
she retired after too many years in journalism, Lillian Marek felt
a longing for happy endings and stories where the good guys win and the bad
guys get their just deserts. Having exhausted her libraryís supply of non-gory
mystery stories, she started reading romance novels, especially historical
romance. This was so much fun that she thought sheíd like to try her hand at
writing one. So she took her computer keyboard in hand, slipped back into the
19th century, and began.
She
was rightówriting romance novels is as much fun as reading them.
