Romance Historical
When a perfectly proper lady...
Lady Mercy likes her life neat and tidy. She prides herself
on being practical—like her engagement to Viscount Grey,
whose dark coloring coordinates very well with her favorite
furnishings. But things start to get messy when her best
friend abandons her fiance at the altar, leaving it up to
Mercy to help the couple. There's just one problem. The
jilted man is Rafe Hartley—Mercy's former husband. Flirts with a reckless rogue
Rafe has not forgiven Mercy for deserting him when they were
seventeen. Their hasty marriage was declared void by law,
but in his eyes the bossy little vixen was still his wife,
even if the marriage lasted only a few hours. And Mercy
"Silky Drawers" Danforthe still owes him a wedding night. A scandal's never far behind

Hi Jane!
I fell in love with your stories as soon as I read The Most Improper Miss Sophie Valentine and can't wait to read Lady Mercy Danforthe Flirts With Scandal!
I can't wait to find out just how improper Mercy can be and how long it will take for Rafe to be tamed!

These characters sound just delightful---I think I will enjoy this book.
(Sue Farrell 9:48pm June 20, 2013)
Wow, that's a lot of rules. Before that law was enacted could anyone
perform marriages or were the clergy the only ones who could marry a
coupe?
(Laura Gullickson 10:01pm June 20, 2013)
Your book sounds great! I have added it to my "pick up" list! TY

Rafe is definitely a bad boy that I can love hang out to go out of my comfort zone. He does things that is beyond the rules of society. He can spice up some excitement in my life.
(Kai Wong 12:59pm June 21, 2013)
I'm really disappointed!! I got so engrossed in the excerpt, and when it ended, it left me wanting more!! I know that's a good thing, but I was in the mood for a good story this morning. The excerpt stopped too soon!! Your book sounds wonderful, and I can't wait to read it in its' entirety!! The cover is very chic as well. Congratulations on your book. I know that I'll have some good reading ahead of me this Summer!!
(Peggy Roberson 8:56am June 21, 2013)

Loved your book excerpt. Would love to win this book so I can read it.
(Carol Woodruff 11:40am June 21, 2013)
Thanks so much to all of you for stopping by! Laura, before the Hardwicke Law a marriage could take place ANYWHERE as long as it was conducted before an ordained clergyman of the Church of England. After the law passed marriage had to take place in a parish church of chapel of the C of E to be legally binding. That restriction was eventually removed though, by Parliament in the Marriage Act of 1836 which allowed non-conformists and Catholics to be married in their own places of worship.
The Act in 1836 also made it possible for non-religious civil marriages to be held in register offices which were set up in towns and cities.(info from the UK Parliament site - very interesting!)
(Jayne Fresina 1:54pm June 21, 2013)
Peggy - LOL - so sorry the excerpt cut off when you were engrossed! I hope you get the chance to read the whole book!
(Jayne Fresina 1:56pm June 21, 2013)
What an amazing storyline - I am so in love with this book already!! A Must read!!
(Carla Carlson 1:57pm June 21, 2013)
Sounds interesting would love to get a chance to read it!
(Lazydrag0n Puff 10:57pm June 21, 2013)
The Act didn't apply in Scotland, which is why eloping couples crossed the border and got legally married by a blacksmith at the first town, Gretna Green. But given that the fastest most people could travel was eight miles per hour in a coach, and it could easily be a few days' travel, the girl's relatives could try to catch up with them....
(Clare O'Beara 11:19am June 22, 2013)
Good point, Clare! When she was very young Lady Mercy was quite fond of the idea of running off to Gretna Green - although she mistakenly called it "Gretna's Greens"! Unfortunately she didn't get quite that far with impatient Rafe!
(Jayne Fresina 5:44am June 23, 2013)
Congratulations on the publication of Lady Mercy Danforthe Flirts With Scandal! I love historical romance and will be adding this book to my TBR list. Thanks for sharing the excerpt.
(Bonnie H 8:25pm June 23, 2013)
You're a new-to-me author, but the book sounds great. Thanks for the excerpt.
