Iβm excited to be here on Fresh Fiction, one of my favorite websites. Iβm
also excited to tell you about my new book, SEDUCING THE MARQUESS. In
order to do that, I decided to step aside and let my characters tell you a
little bit about themselves, and how they got into the mess that is their love
story. First I present to you, Richard, Marquess of Devon.
βHello everyone, Lord Devon here. This is a bit awkward for me since
Iβve never appeared on a website before. I hope to tell you a bit about myself
because my author insisted. She threatened to take away my happily ever after if
I didnβt make this appearance, so here we are, old chap.
βFirst of all, I must tell you I never planned on having the type of marriage I
ended up with. Who needs all the mess and entanglement of love? Well, it turned
out I needed it. But my dear wife, Eugenia, went about it in such a
bizarre way that we almost lost each other. You see, she found this little book
that . . . . Well, maybe I should let her tell you about it.β (He smiles at
Eugenia, gives her a little kiss and pushes her forward.)
βI would curtsy, but I donβt think any of you would see it, so I will merely
say, hello, and I am happy to be here. I am Lady DevonβEugenia to my
friends. I wonβt tell you what Devon calls me because my blush would burn up the
page. Oh, dear, I mean burn up the website. So hard to keep track of all these
things, donβt you think so, my dear?
βYes, well as Devon said, I found this little book that surely opened my eyes to
what I had been missing. You see, I was merely trying to keep Devon from finding
another mistress when his mistress died so sadly in a carriage accident. All
right, I will admit I did not cry extensively when she met her deserved fate.
Oh, dear. Let me take that back. (Deep breath).
βAnyway, to get back to my book. You see I was merely wandering my local book
store, where Iβve spent many a pleasant hour reading Miss Jane Austen, Mr. Percy
Bysshe Shelley, Sir Walter Scott, Miss Susan Ferrier and Miss Maria Edgeworth. I
took a book off the shelf and it caught on another book and pulled it out also.
Well, I must tell you (leans in close and whispers) this was not a book like
anything I had ever seen before. (Looks around to make sure no one heard that).
βI am sure you want to know all about my book and what I did with it. But, Iβm
afraid my time is up. Such a rushed time period you live in. (Shakes her head)
Anyway, if you want to know more about Secrets of the Bedchamber
(blush) you must read Seducing the Marquess. You will be very happy if you do.
βNow I must sign off, or whatever it is you call leaving a website. Devon is
motioning to me, and he is carrying the book with a very devilish look
on his face. (She fans herself). Off I go!β
So there you have it. Devon and Eugenia trying desperately to tell you about
the book, but as Eugenia said, you really must read SEDUCING THE MARQUESS to
find out more about it.
London, 1819. Richard, Marquess of Devon is satisfied with his
ton marriage. His wife of five months, Lady Eugenia Devon, thought she
was, too, until she found the book. Their marriage is one of respect and
affection, with no messy entanglements such as love. Devonβs upbringing
impressed upon him that gentlemen slake their baser needs on a mistress, not
their gently bred wives. However, once married, he was no longer comfortable
bedding a woman other Eugenia. When she stumbles onto a naughty book, she begins
a campaign to change the rules.
Lady Eugenia wants her very proper husband to fall in love with her. But her
much changed and undeniably wicked behavior might inadvertently drive her
confused husband to ponder the unthinkableβhis perfect Lady has taken a lover.
But the only man Eugenia only wants is her husband. The book can bring sizzling
desire to the marriage or it might cause an explosion.
