Guest Post with Author Ellie Macdonald and Giveaway

Meet Ellie Macdonald, author of The Governess Club series.

Ellie Macdonald has held several jobs beginning with the letter t: taxi-driver, telemarketer and most recently, teacher. She is thankful her interests have shifted to writing instead of taxidermy or tornado chasing. Having travelled to five different continents, she has swum with elephants, scuba dived coral mazes, visited a leper colony and climbed waterfalls and windmills, but her favorite place remains Regency England. She currently lives in Ontario, Canada. The Governess Club series is her first published work.

5 Random Facts About Louisa

1. This story took the shortest time to write: less than three months from brainstorming to submitting it to my editor.

2. Louisa took over the story – she did and said things in it that I had no idea would ever happen!

3. Trying to find information on roofing techniques in the Regency era was really difficult. After a discussion with my father who sells home renovations and improvements, I made educated guesses about the technique and materials used.

4. My favorite scene is when they are in disguise, going to the Rose and Crown. That was one of the unplanned scenes that Louisa created. Side note: The Rose and Crown is an actual pub chain in England and is no relation to the one in my book.

5. John is the innkeeper of the Beefy Buzzard. This is a reflection of himself: he is bald and a large, muscular man, a ‘beefcake’ if you will. But he doesn’t hover around carcasses, looking for food.

Louisa Brockhurst is on the run - from her friends, from her family, even from her dream of independence through The Governess Club. But sometimes it’s easier for her to hide from those she loves in order to escape the secrets of her past.

Handsome but menacing John Taylor is a former prize-fighter turned inn-keeper who is trying to make his way in society. When Louisa shows up at his doorstep he’s quick to accept her offer to help - at a price. He knows that she’s hiding something and he can’t help his protective instincts around the beautiful woman.

Their attraction grows, but will headstrong, fiery Louisa ever trust the surprisingly kind John enough to tell him the dangerous secrets from her past that keep her running? Or will the power of her feelings scare her into running yet again?
