Lady Beast's Bridegroom

Beschreibung

Welcome to book 1 in a new series by bestselling author Jude Knight. Follow along in this exciting new twist on traditional fairy tales where the roles are reversed. Lady Ariel lives retired in the country after being badly scarred by a fire. She hides her burns from others by donning a mask, only enticing more gossip by Society who has dubbed her "Lady Beast". Now, her second cousin, who inherited her father's title but not his private wealth, wants to have her committed so he can manage-and steal-her fortune. Only finding a husband will prevent the cousin from having his way. Peter, Lord Ransome, a man so handsome Society has dubbed him "Beau", inherits not only his father's debts but also his burdens. He must manage and care for a stepmother who loathes him, her daughters, and his own two half-sisters, who spend more money than the estate can provide. His only recourse is to find a wealthy bride to save his estate and his family. For him, that means marrying "Lady Beast". It's merely a business transaction, after all. But then Beau learns that true beauty lies in the heart. When Society tries to turn them away, is the union and love of Beauty and the Beast strong enough to overcome prejudice and rejection? A Twist Upon a Regency Tale Lady Beast's Bridegroom One Perfect Dance Perchance to Dream

Have you ever wanted something so much you were afraid to even try? That was Jude ten years ago. For as long as she can remember, she's wanted to be a novelist. She even started dozens of stories, over the years.But life kept getting in the way. A seriously ill child who required years of therapy; a rising mortgage that led to a full-time job; six children, her own chronic illness... the writing took a back seat.As the years passed, the fear grew. If she didn't put her stories out there in the market, she wouldn't risk making a fool of herself. She could keep the dream alive if she never put it to the test.Then her mother died. That great lady had waited her whole life to read a novel of Jude's, and now it would never happen.So Jude faced her fear and changed it--told everyone she knew she was writing a novel. Now she'd make a fool of herself for certain if she didn't finish.Her first book came out to excellent reviews in December 2014, and the rest is history. Many books, lots of positive reviews, and a few awards later, she feels foolish for not starting earlier.Jude write historical fiction with a large helping of romance, a splash of Regency, and a twist of suspense. She then tries to figure out how to slot the story into a genre category. She's mad keen on history, enjoys what happens to people in the crucible of a passionate relationship, and loves to use a good mystery and some real danger as mechanisms to torture her characters.Dip your toe into her world with one of her lunch-time reads collections or a novella, or dive into a novel. And let her know what you think.
