Welcome to day twenty-three
of March SWEET Madness—a month long party to celebrate the upcoming release of
my novel, SWEET
MADNESS, available April 2, 2013.
Well, apparently the
analytical side of my brain is coming out, because just as I put the two
Elizabeth’s back-to-back, it seems I followed yesterday’s Jennifer Haymore with
today’s Jennifer McQuiston!
That’s okay though…JenMcQ
won’t mind, as she is a fellow science-type turned historical romance author
herself! In fact, we appeared together in a recent RT Book Reviews magazine
article (along with Julia Quinn, Emma Wildes, Samantha Grace and Erin Knightley)
about that very thing! If you haven’t seen it, you can view the article HERE.
But, back to the important
thing—Jennifer’s book! WHAT HAPPENS IN SCOTLAND is her debut novel, and what a
debut it is!
More about the book:
She woke up married…
And then she ran.
When
recent widow Georgette Thorold wakes up in a Scottish inn with a wedding ring
on her finger and lacking all memory of how she came to be there, she does what
any well-bred lady with a modicum of sense and a distrust of marriage would do:
she panics, clocks the wickedly handsome stranger in her bed over the head with
a chamber pot, and runs.
James
McKenzie, Esquire has either spent the evening protecting a very naïve,
and—dare he say it—very drunk young lady from the advances of every
disreputable character in the town of Moraig, or he has gone and married a
pretty, scheming thief. Not that his own head is entirely clear on the matter,
but when the woman in question repays his kindness with a knock on the head,
the bill for her room, and the theft of his purse, an embarrassed James is
determined to track her down and show her she picked the wrong solicitor to
swindle.
As
Georgette sets out to discover exactly what happened during her forgotten
night, she uncovers a man that seems far more a hero than a rake. But when they
finally meet, instead of sweeping her into his arms and kissing her senseless,
he serves her with a summons, claiming she is a thief. Now the fight is on, and
the only question is was it a night worth remembering? Or a mistake they would
both rather forget?

Sweet Enemy
Beakers and ball gowns don't mix, so when lady
chemist, Miss Liliana Claremont, goes undercover as a husband-hunter to
investigate Lord Geoffrey Wentworth, the earl whose family she suspects
murdered her father, romance isn't part of her formula. But it only takes one
kiss to start a reaction she can't control...

Sweet Deception
Lady criminologist, Miss Emma Wallingford, unknowingly finds herself tangled up in the dangerous final mission of Lord Derick Aveline, a spy who also happens to be her long-lost first love. But when deception, however sweet, is the name of the game, no one can be trusted. And every love--and every life--is at risk.

And don’t forget SWEET MADNESS,
coming April 2, 2013!
There’s a fine line between love and insanity…
Ever since her husband’s sudden and tragic
death, Lady Penelope Bridgeman has committed herself to studying the maladies
of the mind, particularly treating traumatized soldiers of the Napoleonic Wars.
It is this expertise that brings the Marquess of Bromwich’s family to her door.
Gabriel Devereaux’s unexpected and
unpredictable episodes are unlike any Penelope has studied. The once proud
soldier has been left shaken and withdrawn, but she manages to build a fragile
trust between them. Strangely, Gabriel seems completely lucid when not in the
grips of his mania, and in the calm between bouts, she is surprised by how much
she is drawn to him.
Despite his own growing feelings, Gabriel knows
that he is fit for no one, and is determined to keep Penelope away from his
descent into madness. But even though she knows firsthand the folly of loving a
broken man, Penelope cannot stop herself from trying to save him, no matter the
cost.
