Much Ado About a Widow
by Jenna Jaxon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Historical Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Lady
Georgina Kirkpatrick defied her family, jilted her fiancé, and married the man
she loved. But when her husband died at Waterloo, she was delivered right back
into her father’s power…
Victory
is sweet—but England’s triumph was Georgie’s rout. Now that she’s widowed, the
loathsome marriage her father first arranged has simply been renegotiated. With
neither money nor rights, and nowhere to flee, all she can do is cherish her
last weeks of freedom… Until a band of ruffians overtake her carriage and
kidnap her. When she escapes in seaside Brighton and encounters her brother’s
rather wild friend, Lord St. Just—whom she suspects aspires to be a
pirate—she’s prepared to entertain more of his adventurous suggestions than
usual…
St.
Just knows his mind and his duty, and he loves a challenge. Helping a fair lady
make her farewells to hoodlums suits his talents well. Within the hour he has
Georgie, her lady’s maid—and her little dog too—sailing for his castle in
Cornwall. Meanwhile, the lady’s entire family, her kidnappers, and her scheming
intended are in pursuit. But as he and the indomitable Georgie grow closer, he
begins to suspect that together they will prove a match for them all…

EXCERPT TWO:
A
key grated in the lock. Lulu growled and stalked toward it, the fur on her back
rising straight up.
“Not
yet, Lulu.” Georgie gathered the leash. “Don’t bite him quite yet.”
Her
dog stopped advancing on the door; however, the growling did not abate. Better
be safe. She gathered Lulu into her arms. “I’ll give you the signal.”
The
cabin door swung open, revealing Lord St. Just, an impossibly broad grin on his
face. “Wait until I tell you what my men and I just did.”
“You
don’t have to tell me, my lord. I already know.” Georgie glared at him and held
Lulu tighter. The little animal was shaking, and Georgie was sure if she
loosened her grip Lulu would launch herself at the unwary marquess. Serve him
right too.
“You
do?” He frowned and cocked his head, which made him look like a puzzled puppy.
Lulu looked just like that whenever she was unhappy. But what did he have to be
unhappy about? He was the one who had kidnapped her.
“You
have set sail, my lord, with me and my maid aboard against our wills. Many
sensible people call that kidnapping.” She’d always known this man was a
pirate. In fact, she’d told her brother so. She handed Lulu to Clara before the
dog could leap out of her arms and tear at his lordship’s throat. If anyone was
going to attack the marquess, it would be Georgie herself. Plant him a facer
and see how he liked being set upon.
“Oh.”
The impossible man was all smiles again. “Yes, we had to put out or miss the
evening tide.” His grin had returned, showing many straight, white teeth. “But
we did manage to steal your trunks, Lady Georgina. If you will consider
yourself abducted again, at least rejoice in the fact that you will have clean
linen throughout the ordeal.”
