This is a nice start to the New Year! A License to Wed is up for Best Historical of 2016 over at the Scandalicious Book Reviews. It really is an honor to be in such great company!

A License to Wed, book 2 in my Rebellious Brides series, is a tale of forbidden love between a socialite and a scholar—who might just be an infamous spy.

The very nice review from Scandalicious says, “…there was a great balance of tension and cloak and dagger mystery that worked well beside the development of their relationship. The characters were clever, complex and full of feeling…”

BOOK 2: REBELLIOUS BRIDES

Lady Elinor Dunsmore made the mistake of falling for her older brother’s best friend, who vanished after a night of unbridled passion. Six years and a lifetime later, their eyes meet across a Paris salon. Her friends and family believe she’s dead, but Elle is very much alive. She’s now associated with a ruthless general, who wants her to seduce the man who broke her heart in order to learn his deepest secrets. Is Will a mild-mannered scholar—or the notorious agent they call The Razor?

The bastard son of an earl and an actress, Will Naismith always knew he was an unsuitable match for Elle Dunsmore, no matter how powerfully he ached for her. And yet he almost allowed his desires to spoil her glittering future. After the agony caused by Elle’s supposed death,

Will has devoted himself to the Crown, but his entire life has been leading up to this unexpected reunion. As much as he still wants her, though, he must not succumb to lust once again. For his mission is delicate—and Elle is delectably dangerous.
