Lady Mercy Granville never wanted to marry a man that was chosen for her, even if her parents had made a promise to the prior Viscount of Westbrook before his death. Why should she have to suffer a lifetime of unhappiness because of a vow she hadn’t even agreed upon? But since she knew her duty to her family as a gently bred lady, she acquiesces to the match, but not without vowing to have a bit of fun first. So, after convincing her ladies’ maid to take her place for a fortnight, she heads to Brighton to enjoy the last of her freedom at a scandalous house party at the renowned Mansion, never knowing what awaits her there. Malcolm Grant, Viscount Westbrook, has always found marriage rather distasteful, but since he’s the sole heir, he has no illusions that his mother might cease about honoring some long ago pact that was made. He agrees to marry Lady Mercy…just not yet. He coerces his valet to take his place to entertain the lady in London while he hies off to Brighton—only to find more than he expected when he arrives. However, both of them quickly learn that fate can never be outrun.

Tabetha Waite is a hybrid romance author, published with Soul Mate Publishing, and upcoming works with Dragonblade and Wolf Publishing, although she enjoys the control and flexibility that being an Indie provides. She currently has more than 40 books to her credit. Tabetha grew up in a small town in Missouri with big dreams of being an author after her fourth grade teacher said she liked reading her stories. She began her journey by putting pen to paper writing anything from fantasy to mystery, but it wasn’t until she started high school that her grandmother introduced her to the classic, Gothic novels. As her love of romance grew to encompass Harlequins, it wasn’t until she read “Midnight Bride” by Kathleen Drymon did she develop a fascination for historical England. After discovering Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters, she was hooked! It wasn’t until 30 years and 63 rejections later that her debut novel, “Why the Earl is After the Girl,” the first book in her Ways of Love series was picked up for publication to critical acclaim in 2016 by Etopia Press. She's won several awards for her books. When she’s not writing, Tabetha is reading as true bookworms do, checking out any flea market, antique mall, or doll show she comes across.
