Her Wicked Surrender (Regency Hearts Redeemed Series, Book 1)

"Realistically dark, emotionally intense, and richly sensual."
~Booklist
"One of the best historical romances I've read this year."
~The Romance Reader
Born in a tavern to an actress, all Scher Martin has ever wanted is respectability and a family of her own. Then Kit Frazier, the fourth son of a titled family, offers for her, and Scher seizes her chance.
But instead of family, Scher encounters ridicule, mockery and Kit's cousin, Viscount Blackstone.
Scher sets Blackstone's heart afire with a single glance. He knows what she wants... what she deserves. But his life is a sham from which he cannot escape, his wealth and newly acquired title built on a public lie undergirded by murders no one will admit happened.
Blackstone also knows Scher's heart beats only for him, and he belongs to another.
FROM THE PUBLISHER: The REGENCY HEARTS REDEEMED SERIES is rich in Regency period detail and will be appreciated by fans of Jann Rowland,...

Jade Lee, a USA Today bestseller, has two passions (well, except for her family, but that's a given). She loves dreaming up stories and playing racquetball, not always in that order. When her pro-racquetball career ended with a pair of very bad knees, she turned her attention to writing. An author of more than 30 romance novels, she's decided that life can be full of joy without ever getting up from her chair.
