Part of Series

Cecilia is desperate to put the evils of her first marriage behind her, but as society’s most notorious and wealthy widow, she finds herself adrift in a sea of rakes, cads and fortune hunters. With each attempt at flirtation a greater disaster than the last, she despairs of ever leading a happy life, until the Duke of Solworth asks for her hand. Yes, he’s only looking for an heir and yes, he insists she must live in Egypt, but he’s kind, handsome, and steady. At least, he seems that way, until the moment Cecilia says ‘I will.’Other books in the Under the Shadow of the Marquess seriesThe Archaeologist's Daughter

Summer Hanford grew up on a dairy farm in Upstate New York. She earned her bachelor’s degree in experimental psychology and went on to do graduate and doctoral work in behavioral neurology. Eventually turning away from long hours spent in research, Summer returned to her childhood dream of being an author. Summer writes in three genres; Epic Fantasy, Historical Romance, and Pride & Prejudice Variations. Summer’s complete five novel YA fantasy series, Thrice Born, was published by Martin Sisters Publishing and is available wherever books are sold. Starting in 2014, Summer was offered the privilege of partnering with fan fiction author Renata McMann on her well-loved Pride and Prejudice variations. Since then, they’ve had over a dozen amazon number one best sellers, in the US and several other countries, in both Europe and Latin America. In 2020, Summer launched her Crown & Dagger Historical Romance Series and in 2021, she launched her new Epic Fantasy Series, Rise of the Summer God. Summer’s Sweet Regency Romance Series, The Ellsworth Sisters Quartet, concludes in 2022 and is available on amazon. For more about Summer, visit www.summerhanford.com.
