About the book

Originally published May 2000 in the UK and April 2002 in the USA, Miss Verey's

Jane Verey and her friend Sophia are fifteen when they discover the Legend of the Eve of St Agnes and go to bed without their supper, convinced that if they do so they will dream of their future husbands. Sure enough, that night Jane sees an enigmatic stranger...

Four years later, a marriage is arranged for Jane with Lord Philip Delahaye. But Jane is determined she will not marry Lord Philip. Not only is he rude, insulting and a drunkard but he is not the man she saw that night four years ago...

Alex, Duke of Delahaye, is the man Jane saw that night but he has arranged the match with Jane on behalf of his brother and is determined that it will go ahead. Yet every time he sets eyes on Miss Jane Verey, Alex finds he wants her for himself...

Miss Verey's Proposal was  first published in the UK in May 2000 and in the US in April 2002. It was reissued in the UK as part of the regency Lords and Ladies Collection in January 2009.

Praise for Miss Verey's Proposal:

"This Regency is quite delightful. The pacing is quick, the leads are intelligent and almost magnetically attracted to each other, and the plot has a few delightful twists...  You’ll be glad you picked this one up." The Romance Reader.

"Witty and clever..."  Romantic Times.

"It certainly has the kind of hero I like - dark, enigmatic and sexy as all get-out!" A reader from England.

Nicola's Notes:

Miss Verey’s Proposal is the first book in a three book linked series with The Virtuous Cyprian and Lady Polly.  It was originally inspired by the poem by Keats, “The Eve of St Agnes”.

It is what I would call a romp! No deep or dark plot here, just pure Regency fun!
