Title: Marquis in a Minute
Author: Roni Denholtz
Genre: Regency Romance
Book Blurb:
Andrew Pennington’s life changes almost overnight when his uncle and cousin die, leaving him as the next Marquis of Whitbury. Now, to his surprise and chagrin, he is the most sought-after bachelor in London.
Justine Rawlings comes from a noble family. Her younger sister, Charlotte, wants to hurry and marry her sweetheart. But Justine’s father insists she must follow custom and get married first. To prevent her sister from eloping, Justine decides to find a fake fiancé—fast!
It seems like the perfect plan, and what could be better for these two family friends than to fake an engagement to solve their mutual dilemmas?
But their problems are far from over. Someone is threatening Justine even as she finds herself falling in love with her fiancé. As attempts on Justine’s life escalate, Andrew becomes increasingly alarmed.
Andrew and Justine must face their true feelings for each other—before it’s too late!
Excerpt:
“Charlotte wants to marry Kevin…” Justine began, and spilled out the entire story. She finished with her own idea for getting their father’s approval for Charlotte and Kevin to set a wedding date soon. Justine found herself twisting her fingers, and had to force herself to let them rest in her lap.
Andrew listened, asking only one or two questions.
“And I do not want to hurt a fine man’s sensibilities,” she finished, “by breaking an engagement if he has…grown fond of me.”
When she finished, Andrew appeared to be thinking.
The next words out of his mouth were quite shocking.
“Why not me?”
