I’m so excited! Avon offered me a contract for a NEW SERIES!!!

From Publisher’s Marketplace:

USA Today bestselling author Vivienne Lorret’s next regency romance series, pitched as reminiscent of Jane Austen’s EMMA, centered around a trio of matchmaking sisters who have a talent for uncovering secrets, but must adhere to one simple rule: never fall in love with the client, to Nicole Fischer at Avon, in a three-book deal, by Stefanie Lieberman at Janklow & Nesbit (World).

Many thanks to my editor and agent for such a spectacular (3-book mass market paperback) deal, and also to my wonderful readers whose support means the world to me. <3

Warm wishes and happy reading,

Viv

WHEN A MARQUESS LOVES A WOMAN received a beautiful review from Isha Coleman at I Love Romance!

5 out of 5 stars:

For me the measure of a good book is never wanting to say goodbye. There are stories that just wrap around a reader to the point that the book becomes like an addiction. You never want to put it down. When a Marquess Loves a Woman was mine. Max and Juliet’s relationship is all encompassing. Taking on many stages, it’s intensity keeps drawing them back to each other. An enchantment built on something beautiful takes on a life of it’s own ricocheting between a powerful love, a heated attraction or a consuming hate. Obsessive, vindictive, heartbreaking or passionate Juliet and Max are a temptation that can’t be denied.

It was a wonderful surprise to discover this morning, and I’m feeling truly blessed. <3

Warm wishes and happy reading,

As a young, penniless gentleman, Maxwell Harwick knew he had little to offer Juliet White—the most beautiful debutante of the season—except his love, and one thoroughly scandalous kiss. But when they were discovered in a compromising position, a nearly ruined Juliet fled into the arms of a rich, older lord… taking Max’s heart with her.

Now a widow, Lady Juliet Granworth intends to use the fortune she inherited from her odious husband to build a new life in London. Five years have passed, but she’s never forgotten Max… or his soul-searing kiss. Yet it’s clear the newly-minted Marquess of Thayne has not forgiven her—after all, the infuriating man can barely stand the sight of her. But Juliet has endured far too much to give up without a fight and if it’s a battle of wills he wants, it’s a battle he’ll get.

He hates her for breaking his heart. She detests him for destroying her future. But beneath all the loathing simmers an intoxicating passion that neither can ignore… and the harder they resist, the harder they will inevitably fall.
