Cheryl Bolen likes marriage-of-convenience
stories so much, all three of her Regency-set House of
Haverstock books feature that trope, and one lucky
reader will get all three books autographed by Cheryl.
This includes Lady by Chance,Duchess
by Mistake, and Countess
by Coincidence. (Look for Cheryl’s Christmas book in
the series, Ex-Spinster by Christmas.)
To win, simply read this excerpt
http://www.cherylbolen.com/wedding~ex.htm from her Oh What
a (Wedding) Night and answer this question at the
bottom of this page.
What affliction does the heroine ask her maid to feign?
As Lady Sophia Beresford (recently Lady Finkel) passes
through the gates of her new bridegroom’s country estate
and he begins to whisper in her ear of the delights that
await her in his bed, Lady Sophia realizes she has made a
most dreadful mistake. There’s only one thing to do. She
must bolt.
The bride-on-the-run is rescued by the
exceedingly
handsome William Birmingham who thinks she’s a woman
named Isadore, and though he’s the richest man in
England, she mistakes him for a common (but well-to-do)
criminal. Since she’d rather be dead than wed to Finkel,
Sophia pretends to be Isadore and take her chances with
the provocative Mr. Birmingham. But how could she have
known that her ruse would bring the gallant Mr.
Birmingham into such peril from the wicked man she
married? And how could she have known her enigmatic
rescuer would ignite passions she’d never known she
possessed?
