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 Madeleine Roux!
Writes:
Many readers might know me from my bestselling horror novels, but my first passion as a reader and writer was romance! As a teenager, I spent my nights and days obsessed with authors like Jude Deveraux, imagining a time I might get to bring my own romances to life. Twenty years later, I finally get to show THE PROPOSITION to the world. The Proposition is my eighteenth novel, but my first foray into romance, and I’ve poured my heart and soul--and my love for strong, smart heroines--into this book. In this Regency romance, you’ll join Clemency Fry as she grapples with her desire for independence and her desire for revenge against the man that tricked her into a loveless match. Her prospect of happiness seems dashed until a handsome stranger comes along, offering the revenge she seeks, and much more. Clemency never expected to fall in love while getting even with a dangerous villain.
About:
Hopeless romantic seeks readers who love a twisty, breathless, forward-thinking book. Love quippy dialog and tough on the outside/gooey on the inside heroes? We might just be a good match! While I’m known for my spooky side, I’m actually a lifelong romance reader and fan of anything sweeping, fantastical, and swoon-worthy. When I’m not writing, I’m spending time with my two darling rescue pups, powerlifting at the gym, playing D&D with my friends, and cooking up my favorite dishes in the kitchen.
What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:
- Loves opinionated women who stand up for themselves
- Falls for heroes who aren’t afraid to show their tender side
- Desires a dash of intrigue and mystery
- Enjoys seeing the bad guy get what he deserves
- Craves a peek inside Regency balls and loves a good frock
What to expect if we’re compatible:
- A bit of snark with heaps of heart
- Earnest love and breathless confessions
- A couple you’ll root for and side characters you’ll adore
- Twists and turns!
- Conspirators to lovers
A woman trapped in a loveless engagement joins forces with a mysterious man bent on vengeance against her fiancé in The Proposition, a lively tale of intrigue, revenge, and romance.
What would you propose?
Clemency Fry has always been certain that marriage is a ludicrous arrangement—a notion she has believed ever since reading a scandalous feminist treatise as a girl. But her outlook on romance suddenly changes after meeting the handsome Lord Boyle. With the proposition of a different sort of union, one with mutual respect and financial security for her family, Clemency is won over, but when the wedding is set and the plans are in motion, Lord Boyle turns cold and dismissive. Clemency fears the worst has come to fruition; she had been right all along about affairs of the heart. She has fallen into the one trap she swore she never would.
Then Audric Ferrand comes to town seeking revenge against Lord Boyle on behalf of his sister, who also fell for his charm and wealth. Audric sees Clemency’s predicament as the opportunity he needs. He suggests they join forces, a proposition that is risky and outrageous, and could possibly lead to the destruction of both their reputations. Falling in love was never in the bargain, but the season has just begun—and romance is surely in the air.
