GENRE: Regency Romance
About the Book
In
bestselling author Ella Quinn’s intriguing new Regency trilogy, a dashing
suitor must decide if love and marriage are mutually exclusive . . .
Viscount
Gavin Turley is convinced that love matches cause nothing but trouble. Still,
after months of courting, he’s fallen for Miss Georgie Featherton. He’s
passionate about her, in fact. But words of love are not an indulgence he will
allow himself. When he presents Georgie with his marriage proposal, he will
lead with his head—not his heart. His qualifications as a husband are
excellent, after all. What could go wrong?
No
sooner does Gavin kneel on one knee than Georgie’s heart goes aflutter with
joy. Finally, the proposal she longed for had arrived. Yet Gavin seemed to be
listing his credentials for a business partnership, not a romantic union.
Without a declaration of love, Georgie can only reject his offer—unless the
ladies of the ton, and Georgie’s grandmamma, have anything to do with it. For
sometimes it takes a wiser eye to see the love behind a guarded heart—and a
clever scheme to bring it out of hiding . . .

Read an Excerpt
A light tap sounded on the door to Georgie’s parlor. Smith
opened it and stood aside as Adeline swept into the room.
“I did not think you would be resting.” She sounded pleased
to have been right. “How are you doing?”
Georgie shrugged. “I wish I knew.”
“I can tell you that he does want very much to marry you.”
Georgie pulled a face. “Yet he is still haunted by his father.”
In an attempt to help, Littleton had told Adeline who in
turn told Georgie about the mess the former Lord Turley had made of everything
after his wife had died. “I understand why he thinks he should not love his
wife, but I do not understand how one can stop oneself from falling in love.”
And that was the essence of the matter. Georgie firmly believed that love was
the thing that held two people together during difficult times. She began
pacing the room again, changing directions so as not to wear a path in the rug.
“Do I give him another chance? Or would I be wasting my time? If he is so
certain he will not love his wife, I do not see what I can do to change his
mind.”
Adeline’s forehead creased in thought. “Allowing him until
the end of the month to convince you would still give you time to go back to
Town before the Season ends, and it would answer your questions.”
“I suppose you are correct.” Georgie stopped pacing. Why was
this so hard? She closed her eyes and reached deep into her heart. There was a
chance that there might be another gentleman out there who was even more
perfect for her than Lord Turley only because this unknown gentleman loved her.
But until she knew for certain that Turley would never love her, she would give
him an opportunity to prove himself. “I shall give him one more chance.”
“I need to tell you one more bit of information.” This time
her friend had a wicked grin on her face. “Your grandmother and her friend the
duchess arrive tomorrow. They are staying with Mama-in-law.”
“And Turley.” Georgie felt her eyes widen. “Oh my. That will
be interesting. What I would not give to hear what they have to say to him.”
“That is exactly what I thought,” her friend agreed. “Frits
has suggested that he be allowed to come here as often as he wishes in order to
court you. Do you have any objections?”
Georgie began pacing again. For some reason, she could not
remain still. Littlewood really was the perfect place for a courtship. Other
than the house party entertainments, they could spend time out of the eyes of
the ton. It would give her—them—both the opportunity to attempt to resolve the
differences in what they each wanted in a marriage. “No.” She wondered what
role her grandmother and the duchess would play. “No. I have no objections.”
Having a course of action would, at the very least, help her shake off the
malaise she had been experiencing. “In fact, I believe I am looking forward to seeing
how he intends to convince me I should enter into a loveless marriage.”
