With the first book in her new Hadley’s Hellions
series set to come out in March, 2016, FORBIDDEN
NIGHTS WITH THE VISCOUNT, author Julia
Justiss looks back to the events that inspired the
series.
Sometimes secondary characters get into a writer’s head
and just demand for their story to be told. Such was the
case with the boy Davie in FROM
WAIF TO GENTLEMAN’S WIFE. Playing a pivotal role in
rescuing the heroine from the villain, Davie won hero Sir
Edward Greave’s respect and affection, and inspired him
to become the boy’s sponsor. In Davie’s upcoming book,
set fifteen years later, the grown-up Davie is now a
Member of Parliament and philosophical voice of the
Oxford reformers known as Hadley’s Hellions whose
leader, Giles Hadley, estranged son of an earl, is
featured in the series debut. In honor of the new series
and as background to Davie’s upcoming story, Julia will
give away three copies of FROM
WAIF TO GENTLEMAN’S WIFE.
When a destitute governess faints on Sir
Edward Greaves's threshold, chivalry demands that he
offer her temporary shelter. However, the desire Ned
feels when he catches her in his arms isn't at all
gentlemanly….
With her large, troubled eyes and
slender frame, Joanna Merrill calls to something deep
inside this guarded man. For one who has purposely
shunned the conniving beauties of London society, just
how much is Ned risking by having this intriguing woman
under his roof…?
