Dear reader,
In three days, my new book, “Duchess Out Of Nowhere,” will be released.
This Tuesday, Miss Henrietta Bellinger takes centre stage. Or rather, she enters her friend’s bedchamber and finds a wedding gown lying lonely and abandoned on the bed.
The bride has fled. The groom has vanished.
It seems a pity to leave such silk and lace unattended.
One cannot be expected to ignore it entirely, of course.
And perhaps to try it on.
For a moment. A very small moment.
So she slips into silk and lace and turns toward the mirror for one indulgent look.
A mistake.
He stands in the doorway, watching.
The Nightmare Duke.
Also known as the Duke of Blackburrow.
The very man Henrietta despises has just found in her the perfect solution to a scandal.
There will be a wedding.
And he will make the wallflower his Duchess.
No one is more surprised than Henrietta herself when she accepts his grumpy, matter-of-fact, and decidedly unromantic proposal (which scarcely qualifies as a proposal at all).
But a ruined lady with neither fortune nor prospects cannot afford to be particular.
And when, half an hour later, she is the Duchess of Blackburrow, she has only one thing left to make clear to her gloomy new husband.
She cannot have children.
Which is rather unfortunate, since the duke seems determined to try every single night.
Is it really only three days until the book is released? I think I need to distract myself so I don’t get too nervous. I’d better continue writing the next story right away. It’s about a certain lady who enlists the help of a grumpy duke to… but I’ll tell you another time. giggle
Duchess Out Of Nowhere is available on Amazon.
Don’t wait too long. The special launch price is ending soon.
With love,
Emmi West
