Wedding Gamble, The Wellingfords

A beleaguered young lady and a dashing marquess navigate the rocky waters of a marriage of convenience in this Regency romance.

Sarah Wellingford would do her duty—even if that meant putting herself on the Marriage Mart during a London season she could ill afford. Now ironic circumstance had wed her to the compelling Marquess of Englemere, a fabled gamester, who had awakened passions she was honor-bound not to express.

A marriage of convenience could be deucedly inconvenient—even for a marquess—when one was perilously close to loving his own wife! But that was impossible, Nicholas Stanhope knew, for hadn’t his tragic past proven that women—especially wives—were not to be trusted?

Julia Justiss

Long before embarking on romantic adventures of her own, Julia Justiss read about them, transporting herself to such favourite venues as ancient Egypt, World War II submarine patrols, the Old South and, of course, Regency England. Soon she was keeping notebooks for jotting down story ideas. When not writing or traveling, she enjoys watching movies, reading and puttering about in the garden trying to kill off more weeds than flowers.
