The daughter of a powerful marquess, she has come to the notice of the Duke of Kent and may well become his royal duchess. Jonah is charged with stopping that from happening by fair means or foul.

ReplyDeleteHow do you do it Mia?
I just listen to what my characters tell me and then I write it down.
Deleteso now I'm curious about the rest of that list!
ReplyDeleteIt's entirely scandalous, I assure you!

DeleteHi, Mia! I love your books and this one sounds like another winner. Loved the letters between Jonah and Serena.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cathy. I had to dig around in an old trunk before I found them. ;-)

ReplyDeleteThanks, Em. My heroine in Touch of a Scoundrel is named Emmaline and I frequently shortened her name.
DeleteI really want to read this!
ReplyDeleteI hope you can, Kim.
DeleteI loved getting to know the two characters a bit better through their letters. This story sounds like such a romp that I look forward to it.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I always want to show in my books is why these two need each other. Obviously, Serena needs Jonah to protect her, even from herself. And he needs her to liven him up and help him feel again.
DeleteI loved the letters and the book sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lori!
DeleteI want to read the rest of that!!! Big fan and I can't wait to read this

DeleteAwww... great letters! Congrats to Mia on the newest release :) This is definitely on the top of my want list!

ReplyDeleteThanks for those kinds words about my work, Trudy.
DeleteAdorable letters!! It's nice to see the woman as the aggressor for a change. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSerena definitely knows what she wants.
DeleteCute! One of the main reasons why I love reading love letters...they are more romantic. If only the old days would come back with these kinds of letter. Sweet and romantic. I still need to read this book...haven't gotten a chance yet
ReplyDeleteI still have a shoe box filled with letters from my DH from before we married. Guess I ought to get those down and re-read them sometime just to see how we've changed.
Deletethere is nothing better than historical romances.....
ReplyDeleteAmen!
Deletelove the excerpt and premise for the story
