NEW: An exclusive short story
set in the world of In for a Penny!
(Warning: the story contains spoilers for the book.)"

 

"Georgette Heyer watch out! With believable characters and a keen eye for period detail, Rose Lerner serves up a sprightly and splendid take on the classic marriage of convenience plot. Not to be missed by fans of the Regency romance."Lauren Willig, author of The Secret History of the Pink Carnation.

"[A] charming and original Regency that will make you wish a man like Nev would stroll through your front door." —Eloisa James for Barnes & Noble Review.

"The grit of Dickens and the true-to-life, breathing characters of Austen. Rose Lerner is a new star in the Regency firmament."Judith Laik, author of The Lady is Mine.

In for a Penny

A dashing and feckless lord enters a marriage of convenience with the lovely and practical daughter of a wealthy merchant in an effort to salvage the family fortune, but they find themselves unprepared for the challenges they face: scandal, rioting tenants, a menacing neighbor and, in the end, a love that is neither convenient nor practical but entirely heartfelt and enduring.

New reviews for In For A Penny.

Jan. 29th, 2010
Dorchester has bought my second book! Look for A Lily Among Thorns, in which a young woman innkeeper who has worked hard to bury her past finds herself facing the man who long ago helped her escape her life as a prostitute and is now turning to her for her help; she believes the biggest threat to her independence are the sparks that fly between them until disaster threatens and she finds they must work together to fight for their freedom and their lives, in January 2011!
