Kristin Vayden | Author-Reader Match: FORTUNE FAVORS THE DUKE

amazonbookbubgoodreadstwitterfacebookInstagram

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Kristin Vayden!

Writes:

First in a sweet and sparkling Regency romance series.

About:

I write the glitzy, gossipy, and dramatic regency romance genre! My newest release, FORTUNE FAVORS THE DUKE, is a sweet romance with forbidden love and friends-to-lovers themes! You’ll love the strong independence of Catherine—loosely based on Catherine the Great of Russia—and Quin, her late fiancé’s brother (no scandal there*winks*) who is a duke, of course. Writing is too much fun!  I love my job, especially since I write from home, which means I get to chase all five of my kids around—sometimes literally, can anyone relate? Of course, my hubby tag teams with me, so that’s usually when I get to write! He’s one in a million. Plus, I can write from my patio and watch my mama and baby goats frolic around on our little hobby farm in Washington State. Not to mention, I can walk to a winery for wine tasting and a billion coffee shops are nearby, what’s not to love?

What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:

You’ll love FORTUNE FAVORS THE DUKE! It’s a perfect mix of sweet romance, all the feels, historical relevance, and strong characters that show how the power of love conquers all.

What to expect if we're compatible:

If you like:

Forbidden romance

Friends to lovers

More sweet, less spice

Scandal

...You’re going to LOVE this book!

FORTUNE FAVORS THE DUKE by Kristin Vayden

Cambridge Brotherhood #1

Fortune Favors the Duke

The new Duke has a proper scandal brewing.

Quinton Errington is perfectly happy teaching at Cambridge, with his elder brother carrying the duties of being the Duke of Wesley. But when a trip to celebrate Wesley's last week of bachelorhood ends in tragedy, Quinton, who becomes the Duke, would give anything to have his brother back.

Wesley's would-be bride, Catherine Greatheart, is left heartbroken and alone. Her grandmother has fallen ill, and Catherine has nowhere left to turn but to the family she was so close to being part of. The new Duke is kind, and she could use a friend.

Between learning how to be the head of his family, mourning his brother, and trying not to fall in love with his late-brother's fiancée, Quinton will need some help—and it's a good thing he's not alone.

"Flawless storytelling! Vayden is a new Regency powerhouse."—Rachel Van Dyken, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Romance Historical [Sourcebooks Casablanca, On Sale: December 28, 2021, Mass Market Paperback / e-Book, ISBN: 9781728234311 / eISBN: 9781728234328]

About Kristin Vayden

Kristin Vayden

Kristin's inspiration for the romance she writes comes from her tall, dark and handsome husband with killer blue eyes. With five children to chase, she is never at a loss for someone to kiss, something to cook or some mess to clean but she loves every moment of it! Life is full—of blessings and adventure! Needless to say she’s a big fan of coffee and wine…and living in Washington she’s within walking distance of both!
