Kate Bateman (also writing as K. C.
Bateman), the #1 bestselling author of Regency, Victorian, and Renaissance
historical romances, is kicking off her new Regency romance series, The Bow
Street Bachelors, with the charming new novel, THIS EARL OF MINE (St. Martin’s Paperbacks; October 29, 2019,
$7.99)!
I’m delighted
to announce that the cover for this tantalizing new book is now LIVE and I can
share it with you today.
The first book in a new Regency romance
series, an heiress and a rogue accidentally end up in a secret marriage of
convenience.
In a desperate bid to keep her fortune
out of her cousin’s hands, shipping heiress Georgiana Caversteed marries a
condemned criminal in Newgate prison. The scoundrel’s first kiss is shockingly
heated, but Georgie never expects to see her husband again. Until she spots him
across a crowded ballroom.
Notorious rogue Benedict Wylde never
expected a wife. He was in Newgate undercover, working for Bow Street. To keep
their marriage of convenience a secret, Wylde courts Georgie in public, but the
more time they spend together, the more their attraction sparks.
Could an heiress with the world at her
feet find happiness with a penniless rake? Kate Bateman's This Earl of
Mine is a delightful start to the Bow Street Bachelors series, with
witty banter, dynamic characters, and swoon-worthy romance.
THIS
EARL OF MINE is available to purchase HERE.
For those of you unfamiliar with the
author, here’s a bit of background on her.
Author Kate Bateman |
Kate wrote her first historical romance in response to a $1 bet with her husband who rashly claimed she'd 'never finish the thing.' She gleefully proved him wrong. When not traveling to exotic locations 'for research', she leads a not-so-secret double life as a fine art appraiser and on-screen antiques expert for several TV shows in the UK, each of which has up to 2.5 million viewers. She splits her time between Illinois and her native England and writes despite three inexhaustible children /monsters and a number-loving husband who still owes her that dollar.

ReplyDeleteWith interest added, how much has that dollar grown to now?
Funny that it all came about from a bet!
