Millicent and the Blue-Blooded Merchant is OUT!

The plan was to run away from him, not right into his hands…

For years, Millicent Westwood looked forward to the life that had been planned out for her: where she would travel, what she would do, when she would marry, and what place she might have in society (titled, of course). Even with the war and a mysterious decline in the prosperity of her family, she was sure everything would turn out as promised. But when the will of an eccentric relative proposes an arranged marriage for her (to a mere merchant!) with an enticing fortune attached to the union, her promised future takes a sudden and unwelcome veer off course.
Vigorously urged by her mother and father to accept the arrangement, Millicent takes matters into her own hands, only to be waylaid by broken wheels, sick servants, snowstorms, and the very man she is running from.

Alex Dearborn has worked for everything in his life and has vowed never to ask for any loans or favors. Hard knocks are a part of life, and he would not be bullied by his straightened circumstances into marrying a member of the very upper class he has loathed for years just for the sake of a fortune. But just as he thinks he has found his way free of the matter, the very woman with whom he wants nothing to do tumbles into the same inn as he, pickpocketed and stranded.
Marooned by storms, Alex and Millicent must navigate their mutual dislike of one another, their close quarters giving each a reluctant view of the other’s real characters and giving them the choice to either follow their hearts or their prejudices.

The best of enemies and worst of friends…

Lady Anthea’s relationship with Lord Desford has never been easy, but always entertaining. After ending a short, disastrous engagement, the two spend the next decade in a verbal sparring match, jabbing each other as much as possible, with London accepting them as an eccentric, amusing pair. It’s a position that suits them both, and they continue poking each other with their wit whenever they can. So, when word goes round that Desford is looking for a bride, Anthea is certain their relationship won’t change, and focuses her energies on how to dampen her beautiful niece’s infatuation with Desford’s cousin, the handsome Richard Tiverton.

Finally yielding to the pressures of his family, Lord Desford agrees to find a wife, and flatly refuses to help either Richard or Anthea in the situation revolving around Molly Wakefield, Anthea’s niece. With his considerable fortune, and title to go with it, it will be easy to find a suitable woman to fill the position. He knows full well that love will not play a part in his marriage. How could it when the woman he’s really wanted all these years won’t have anything to do with love?
