THE WIDOWED BRIDE: A Time-Travel Regency Romance Novel   

NO MORE HUSBANDS... PLEASE!

Culinary chef Constance Atkins married twice and was widowed twice. She has more important things on her mind than thinking about marrying again, especially since husband number two’s murderers are now after her. After doing a good deed for her young neighbor, he returns the favor by using the dragon his 3D printer created to grant her wish for safety. Sure, Constance wakes up the next morning safe, but definitely not in her own bed, or apartment, or city, or even century. Stranded in the year 1814, she must use her cooking skills to survive during London’s Great Frost Fair--a celebratory event where merchants hawk their wares on the frozen River Thames. She comes across a lost, motherless girl who happens to belong to the impressive Earl of Granville, Damien Delacroix. First he hires her as a cook, then he wants her to be his children’s nanny, then he proposes that she become his mistress, and then...

WIFE NEEDED. WHO SHALL HE CHOSE?

Damien Delacroix, the Earl of Granville, has a dilemma. He has been happily widowed for a year, but now realizes his son and his daughter need the steadying influence of a mother. A woman to warm his bed would also be a good idea. While he considers possible candidates for the position as his countess, his daughter Katherine turns up missing at the Great Frost Fair. He finds her being held by an unkempt guttersnipe, and threatens the street urchin with prison, only to become aware that his daughter’s so-called abductor is not a man but a woman. Constance turns out to be a very intriguing woman indeed. So much so that Damien can’t stop thinking about her. Soon Constance sweeps all other candidates aside, leaving him to desire her... and only her... as the future Countess of Granville.  

ABOUT THE BOOK: 

A Widow and a Dragon, and Impossible Second Chance

Constance Atkins has built a life around two certainties: she is an accomplished culinary chef, and marriage is no longer part of her plans. After losing her second husband--and attracting the attention of the people responsible--she wants only one thing: a safe place to begin again.

Instead, an unexpected favor, a young neighbor, and an ingenious 3D-printed dragon send Constance far beyond the dangers of her own time. She awakens in 1814, where the Great Frost Fair has transformed the frozen River Thames into a bustling world of shops, food, and spectacle. Her cooking skills earn her a place at the estate of Damien Delacroix, the Earl of Granville, but the household brings complications of its own.

Damien needs a mother for his children and begins to see Constance as far more than an intriguing stranger. Constance has sworn off husbands, yet the earl’s family, his desire, and the unfamiliar world around them challenge every promise she has made to herself. For readers who enjoy Regency romance, time travel, determined heroines, family drama, danger, and a touch of the impossible, The Widowed Bride offers a spirited journey from modern peril to unexpected love.
