The Bridal Contract
Publication Date: September 16,
2014
Synopsis
When a
bridal contract is struck, either parental outrage will void the arrangement or
the love of a child will sweeten the deal.
Oliver Darrington—Viscount Tralsburg—wants nothing more than
to hide out at the family property in Brighton until he can secure a sea-worthy
ship and return to adventuring the world. However, being handed his former
mistress’ child isn’t part of that plan. Neither is the sudden longing for his
pretty Italian neighbor.
Eloisa Hawthorne is in dire straits. Her older brother has
gambled away her sister’s hand to a horrible man. In order to save her sister’s
virtue and her future, Eloisa needs a fast fortune—or someone who can
immediately cover the debt. When her handsome neighbor offers a temporary
engagement contract, she accepts with alacrity. Too bad she fell in love with
his dark-haired offspring. How scandalous!
When the two attend his mother’s London dinner party, Oliver
wishes the union wasn’t merely a lark. Eloisa fears for the adorable child’s
upbringing in heathen locales, but what can she do? The contract is only for a
month, and love was never an option. Something must be done to throw over
convention before the moment is lost and matters of the heart are sacrificed.
About the Author
Sandra is a writer of romantic fiction. In the past couple
of years she’s concentrated on funny contemporary romance as well as
Regency-era romance, but she will, on occasion, write paranormal or sci-fi.
Whether you like sweet or erotic heat levels, there’s something for everyone to
fall in love with. She’s also a hybrid author, choosing to publish both with
small presses and doing the indie thing.
Offered representation in February 2014 by Scott Eagan at
Greyhaus Literary Agency for Victorian-era historical romances, Sandra’s been
hard at work researching, planning and writing a new series. When not immersed
in creating new worlds and engaging characters, Sandra likes to read, bake,
taste new teas, watch The Big Bang Theory and Psych as well as Finding Bigfoot,
and travel. Her favorite place to spend vacation hours is Walt Disney World:
it’s where dreams come true and the soul can play. When she’s not writing or
inventing new recipes, she spends time with her husband—goofing off and making
moments count. Life’s too short to be serious all the time.
Sandra loves to hear from her readers. You can write to her
