THE WRONG MARQUESS is on sale this month!
One of my favorite things about writing this book was delving into Elodie’s character as a semi-hypochondriac. Even when she was falling in love with Brandon, she had no idea what was happening to her. 🙂
Here is a snippet from one of my favorite scenes from The Wrong Marquess:
“And is your pulse racing?” He didn’t wait for her answer. Instead, his fingertips drifted down to the quick hummingbird wingbeat at the side of her throat. “And has your mouth gone dry just now? Your lips plump and tender?”
She nodded, mystified. “You’re very good. Doubtless, you could have become a physician. Do you think we should summon Dr. Lockwood?”
“No. Lockwood cannot help you with this,” he said, his tone edged with a low growl, which left her to wonder if this was more serious than she thought. Before she could ask his opinion on her chances of survival, he leaned in and said, “Only I can.”
Then he eased his mouth over hers.

USA Today bestselling author Vivienne Lorret continues the Mating Habits of Scoundrels series with a debutante who believes she is destined to marry the lord next door until a fateful encounter with a rogue makes her wonder… if she might be falling for the wrong marquess!
The wrong place…
Elodie Parrish can feel spinsterhood breathing down her neck. That’s the trouble with waiting for the marquess next door her entire life. But Ellie knows if she gives him one last Season, he’ll finally propose. The only problem is, her path keeps crossing with the arrogant Lord Hullworth, who is convinced she has designs on him.
The wrong time…
Brandon, Marquess of Hullworth, never wanted to be “London’s Most Elusive Bachelor,” or have a horde of hopeful debutantes and their scheming mamas follow him around. His past has left him too jaded to consider marrying any of them. At least, that’s what he thinks… until he meets Ellie. She’s quirky, opinionated, blushes easily, and drives him absolutely wild. The only problem is, she believes she’s in love with someone else.
Ellie never imagined that one sultry summer could change everything. But the more time she spends with Brandon researching her book on the mating habits of scoundrels, the more she wonders if she might be falling for…
