Society often makes strange bedfellows—and even more surprising betrothals...
IS IT A REASON FOR ROMANCE?
In Why Earls Fall in Love by Manda Collins, young widowed Georgina Mowbray is settling into her role as Lady Russell's companion quite well—until the lady's nephew Dominic, the Earl of Coniston, arrives in Bath for a visit. Georgie's always found him shallow and too smooth, and trusts him as much as she trusts most men...which is to say, not at all. But Con turns out to be more intriguing than she remembers—and completely irresistible...
OR A PROMISE OF PASSION?
Pretty, practical Georgie is nothing like the women Con usually woos—especially since she seems blind to his charms. But his elderly aunt is so fond of her that Con is determined at least to be sociable...with the occasional flirtation thrown in just for fun. But things take a serious turn when a dangerous figure from Georgie's unhappy past appears and threatens to bring her harm. Con will do whatever it takes to keep Georgie safe. And if he can show her that all men are not menaces, he might be able to keep her in his arms and never let go... "Absolutely delightful...an emotion-packed, passionate historical romance."—Romance Junkies, five stars (on How to Romance a Rake)

Collins’s second Wicked Widows installment (after Why Dukes Say “I Do”) highlights sparkling romance amid mystery. In Regency England, Bath is still a relatively fashionable spa location. Poor, widowed Mrs. Georgina Mowbray is residing there as a companion to the elderly Lady Russell. Georgina’s previously unfavorable opinion of Lady Russell’s nephew, the Earl of Coniston, evolves into feelings of admiration as she slowly realizes that Con is as kind as her deceased husband, Robert, was abusive. She enlists his help in learning the identity of the man who has been standing outside her window at night—a man who looks just like Robert. The mystery deepens as the body count rises, and Con soon develops protective and affectionate feelings for Georgina. While their mutual attraction culminates in a delicious love scene, most of the focus is on the mystery. Readers will admire the very affable Georgina, who always finds a way to persevere despite abuse and poverty. Agent: Holly Root, Waxman Leavell Agency.
