Romance Historical

Where There’s a Will sets up the first full-length story of the Widow Rules series by Janna MacGregor by setting up the premise of the widows and how their lives will change in knowledge and possible scandal of a man married to three women who die and leaves a predicament for his brother and the three women he married. A woman who married for legitimacy. A War Hero who has no interest in reliving the past scandals of his father and recently deceased half-brother. A woman who wants her secrets kept and will just decide to do anything to make sure that happens.

Where There’s a Will by Janna MacGregor will begin your journey into the lives of these wonderful characters and her new series called the Widow Rules. A gruff man and a woman with secrets must work together to figure out a way to avoid scandal and not fall in love.

A Duke in Time is the first story in Janna MacGregor’s new Widow’s Rule series. Katherine Vareck didn’t love her recently deceased husband. Her marriage was to give her business and life legitimacy. She’s hoping that her dead husband’s brother can help her by giving back her dowry. Christian Vareck is the Duke of Ranford, a war hero just returning to take his place as Duke of Ranford. He isn’t interested in any woman until he sees a mystery woman on his doorstep. Katherine and Christian will face scandal, blackmail, and passion.

A Duke in Time just may be the answer to all the trouble. Janna MacGregor starts her new series called Widow’s Rule with the prequel Where There’s a Will and the first story A Duke in Time. A woman who is trying to leave her past behind will face a possible scandal when her recently deceased husband’s antics become known. A war hero who just wants to be left alone to rebuild the family Dukedom. When he was reluctantly pulled into fixing his half-brother’s mistakes, only to be pulled into the situations left behind by his half-brother’s death. A woman will face the mistakes of her husband and makes new friends. A Duke in Time will keep you wondering if secrets will be revealed, and the scandal can be avoided. These two people will have to face their pasts and must work out how to continue when love and passion become part of the bargain. A historical story of love, passion, and finding out that the person was the type of person you thought they were and only better. Lives will change and scandal that may avert when these two characters work together. Janna MacGregor’s A Duke in Time is a wonderfully written story with love passion and secrets that transport the reader into the past. If you’re a Janna MacGregor fan it’s a must-read and a good way to become a fan of this wonderful author.

SUMMARY

Katherine Vareck is in for the shock of her life when she learns upon her husband Meri's accidental death that he had married two other women. Her entire business, along with a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be a royal supplier, is everything she's been working for and now could be destroyed if word leaks about the three wives.

Meri's far more upstanding brother, Christian, Duke of Randford has no earthly clue how to be of assistance. He spent the better part of his adult years avoiding Meri and the rest of his good-for-nothing family, so to be dragged back into the fold is…problematic. Even more so is the intrepid and beautiful Katherine, whom he cannot be falling for because she's Meri's widow. Or can he?

With a textile business to run and a strong friendship forming with Meri's two other wives, Katherine doesn't have time for much else. But there's something about the warm, but compellingly taciturn Christian that draws her to him. When an opportunity to partner in a business venture brings them even closer, they'll have to face their pasts if they want to share each other's hearts and futures.
