Lady Eugenia Devon is a woman determined to have a better marriage than what she had been taught to believe would be hers. A mating of a man and a woman of the ton for the purpose of connections, power, and heirs. The problem is after five months of marriage, she doesn’t have the wedded bliss she desires. But then—she finds a ‘book’ in a bookstore that starts her brain churning with ideas on how to Seduce the Marquess. Will it work . . ?
The Marquess of Devon was taught that wives were to be treated gently, unpassionately, so as not to upset their delicate sensibilities. His marriage was that way—although truth be known he wasn’t satisfied with it. While he considers his dilemma, his completely predictable wife begins to behave in perfectly unpredictable ways. He wonders . . .
Check out Eugenia and Devon's love story in Seducing the Marquess.
Lord and Lady Devon have a perfectly proper and good ton marriage. Devon is satisfied. And Eugenia was. Until she found the book . . .Richard, Marquess of Devon, and his wife, Eugenia, have been married five months. They have the perfect ton marriage. Respect and affection, with no messy entanglement such as love. Soon after Devon’s mistress dies, Eugenia stumbles onto a naughty book in a bookstore. A book that explains all the things proper ladies of the ton are unaware of, and would never consent to do with their husbands.Once Eugenia acquires the book—scandalously—she begins a campaign to make sure her husband has no reason to replace his mistress.Although Devon has continued to visit his paramour since his marriage, all they’ve done is play cards. Devon’s rigid upbringing impressed upon him that gentlemen slake their baser needs on a mistress, not their gently bred wives. However, once married, he was no longer comfortable bedding a woman other than Eugenia.As bored matrons and eager widows toss him veiled invitations while he wrestles with this dilemma, his wife has begun to change. No longer the prim and proper woman he courted and married, her behavior leads him to an alarming conclusion. . .

Love the letters! Sounds a little bit of a challenging relationship! Can't wait to see how it works out!
ReplyDeleteHi Meredith, Thanks for stopping by. Yes, Eugenia has her work cut out for her, but does she win in the end?
DeleteI would love to know where you get your ideas for the stories, such as did a book like this really exist that she gets her hands on?
ReplyDeleteHi Patti. My ideas come from everywhere, movies, TV, conversations with strangers, quips I hear from my sarcastically humorous daughter. In my research I found there were quite a few of these kinds of books in this time period. And the Kama Sutra dates back to between 400 and 200 BC. Thanks for coming by.
DeleteI've the event. Great letters. I'm really looking forward to reading the books.

DeleteWhat is your favorite spot to do most of your writing?
ReplyDeleteHi Tina. I have an office in my home. I walk the short distance from my bedroom to my office in the morning, cup of coffee in hand. I'm still at my desk at 9 PM, but I take breaks throughout the day.
DeleteGreat letters, Callie! They definitely are in for an interesting time. . . .
ReplyDeleteYes, it gets 'complicated'
Deletecongrats Ms. Hutton on the new release! This sounds fabulous :) what do you have to have/do while writing?

The mistress dilemma is nothing new, yet I only know one lady who did this and several menfolk. It's nice to see a couple following the rules of the day in your writing without overstepping the boundaries of convention.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet letters
ReplyDeleteIs there another copy somewhere of Eugenia's book? I could use a copy!! It turns out that my local library system doesn't seem to have any of your books, so I'm entering the contest and hoping against hope that I get lucky! Many thanks for the opportunity.
