Historical romance author Theresa Romain pursued an impractical education that allowed her to read everything she could get her hands on. She then worked for universities and libraries, where she got to read even more. Eventually she started writing, too. She lives with her family in the Midwest, where she is working on her next book.

Danielle, thanks for the chance to join the Sealed with a Kiss event!
These letters feature the couple from SECRETS OF A SCANDALOUS HEIRESS, my recent historical romance. Augusta Meredith is the heiress to a cosmetics fortune, but despite all her money, she doesn’t fit into polite society. Joss Everett is the Anglo-Indian cousin to a baron; he’s from the poor side of the family and works as his cousin’s man of business. Joss and Augusta were old acquaintances who met again in Bath when he was chasing a family blackmailer and she was passing under a false identity. They kept each other’s secrets, helped each other, and (as you’d guess!) fell in love.
Joss and Augusta exchanged these Valentine letters in February 1818, about 11 months after the events of SECRETS OF A SCANDALOUS HEIRESS and 10 months after their marriage.
Letter from Mr. Josiah Everett to wife
Letter from Mrs. Josiah Everett, née Augusta Meredith, to husband
Check out Joss and Augusta's love story in Secrets of a Scandalous Heiress.
One good proposition deserves another…
Heiress Augusta Meredith can’t help herself—she stirs up gossip wherever she goes. A stranger to Bath society, she pretends to be a charming young widow, until sardonic, darkly handsome Joss Everett arrives from London and uncovers her charade.
Augusta persuades Joss to keep her secret in exchange for a secret of his own. Weaving their way through the treacherous pitfalls of a polite world only too eager to expose and condemn them, they begin to see that being true to themselves is not so bad…as long as they’re true to each other…

Cancerjanus, I love the cover art for this book. The artist really captured the feel of the story, I think.
Well, I hope you get the chance! :)
Ha! Thanks, Anon. That raises the question: should I watch a romantic movie tonight in honor of V-day tomorrow, or a scary movie because it's Friday the 13th?
The cover of this release is very intriguing as well as lovely, Theresa. And I am very curious about this story and wish to read it as soon as possible. I had it pre-ordered and then had to cancel due to family birthdays and Christmas. :-( I've loved all of your Season romances and think they are among the best of the historical romances I've read. Thank you for your writing! jdh2690@gmail.com
The letters were so sweet, Theresa. I'm looking forward to reading Joss and Augusta's story.

Man-flirting! LOL...isn't it true though that men love the attention!
I'm loving these character love letters...such a cool idea to celebrate Valentine's Day.
Loved the letters and now to read the book. Happy Valentine's
Love this series, can't wait until I read this novel!
Aw these were so cute.
Janice, how lovely! Thank you so much. I'm really glad you've liked the Season books, and I hope this one works for you too.
I hope you enjoy it, Marcy. They were a fun pair to write--two alphas, butting heads.
A little joke I carried over from the book. ;)
Thank you, Doris!
Thanks for reading them, LilMissMolly!
Thanks for stopping by, Mary. Happy Valentine's Day!
Hope you enjoy that too, Barbara. Thanks!
Happy Valentine's Day to you too, Carol!
Hee, yes! Though when Augusta mentions the notion in the book, Joss gets all touchy. Can't imagine why.
Karen, I agree. I've stopped by every day to see what's up. Danielle runs some wonderful blog events!
Oh, cool--hope you like it, Sheryl! Happy Valentine's Day.
Thanks, Juanita! You'll see some familiar characters from earlier in the trilogy--especially lots of Emily, the matchmaker.
Thanks for stopping by, Lubnaa. :) Happy Valentine's Day!
interesting sounding books
I love the cover for SECRETS OF A SCANDALOUS HEIRESS. It imparts just the right feeling of secrecy and intrigue, with just a hint of a gothic feel. It sounds like a book I will enjoy. I look forward to reading it.
Hi Theresa! You have some of the most gorgeous covers for your books! I'm looking forward to reading Joss and Augusta's story!
Augusta and Joss seem to enjoy each other. Man-flirt? New term for me. The little one kicking her feet for his return says it all.
Thanks, bn100!
librarypat, I think the same about the cover. The first time I saw that cover art, I gasped out loud! It was just so perfect.
Thanks, Anita! Hope you like it. :)
Suzanne, "man-flirt" is a term from the book. Augusta used it to describe a particular behavior of Joss's, and he was...not pleased. I couldn't resist bringing it back for their letters!
wonderful letters
Thank you for this giveaway
Love these letters, Theresa!! Thanks for a glimpse of their married life. :-D
