Aloha to Samantha Grace and MISS HILLARY SCHOOLS A SCOUNDREL



"Gravitation can not be held responsible for people falling in love." - Albert Einstein

Today I spotlight debut author Samantha Grace as she takes us to Regency England with MISS HILLARY SCHOOLS A SCOUNDREL:

There’s no taming the wicked. Jaded heiress Lana Hillary learned this lesson the hard way when the dashing man of her dreams turned out to be a lying scoundrel. With two Seasons behind her and the memory of his betrayal still fresh in her mind, Lana seeks a match with a respectable gent. But why must they all be so properly boring? Unable to rein in her bold nature for long, Lana flirts with trouble and finds herself entangled with the exact type of man she’s vowed to avoid.

Love ‘em-and- leave ‘em Lord Andrew Forest lives for pleasure and offers no apologies. But he receives a dose of his own medicine when his family’s innocent houseguest beds him then disappears without a by your leave. Rejected by the most captivating woman in England, Drew is determined to intercept Lana Hillary before she reaches London and convince her to marry him. Then he’ll teach the little vixen a thing or two about how to love a man.


Edmund Blair Leighton's SIGNING THE REGISTRY

Grace delivers a humorous story of falling in love while navigating (or circumventing) the marriage mart, house parties, family interference, and Mother Nature.   Perhaps Grace draws from her own experience:

With a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Social Work degree, Samantha has worked several years as a clinical social worker with a background in behavioral health and geriatrics. It is her belief that everyone has a story worth remembering, and she cherishes her work with aging adults, immersing herself in their tales of eras gone by.

HEA for all!

  7. Kim -
    Thanks for introducing us to Samantha! I love "discovering" debut authors and am thrilled that not only does Samyantha have Miss Hillary School's a Scoundrels available now but also that she will also have Llady Amanda's Mess and a Half coming out to start off our summer!

    My guilty pleasure this week-end is going to be taking some time to read! I've found that after a hectic weeks at work I need a chance to sit back and relax in front of the fireplace with a great historical romance and have my own special "Calgon" moment to be taken away to another time and place!

  9. My pleasure this weekend is going to the Renaissance Festival. We went a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. I just love looking at all the people who dress up in such amazing and very beautiful costumes. I can almost imagine that I'm back living in Medieval times. :-)

    Thank you for this opportunity Kim.
