Susanne Marie Knight, 2024

A New Regency Time-Travel Romance! A Regency themed photo shoot, a magical wedding dress, and a mysterious "uncle" send Mattie Newcastle back to the past. A FAUX BRIDE Mattie Newcastle agrees to pose as a bride in a photo shoot to advertise her Uncle Ward's second-hand-shop, Yesterday's Treasures. Everything for the shoot looks period-piece authentic, especially the mouthwateringly hunky groom dressed in a tailcoat, top hat, and a cravat. Imagine Mattie's surprise when after she signs the chapel's register book, she finds out that she's actually married to an English marquess; she's now in London; and the year is 1816. Her husband, George, declares she's bought and paid for and insists on obtaining his conjugal rights. Sure, he's as handsome as a dream, but she has no intention of becoming his "brood mare." How did this impossible thing happen and how is she going to get back to the twenty-first century? A REAL HUSBAND The Marquess of Chesterton, George Dunning, has a gambling addiction. His latest debacle at cards has cost him 150,000 guineas payable to his arch nemesis... and, unless George marries immediately, his family's ancestral diamond ring. He can handle the enormous debt, but the shame of the ring not staying within the family is too high a price to pay. He must enter the parson's mousetrap... without delay. His man of business, Edward, arranges for an appropriate, amenable, eligible, biddable, and sight-unseen young woman to be George's bride. The more George is around Matilda Newcastle, the more he is quite happy with the marriage, except... he soon realizes she has no intention of granting a husband's privileges. How can he convince his new marchioness that she truly belongs to him? PRAISE FOR YESTERDAY'S TREASURES 5 Stars! Another exciting Regency Time-Travel Romance from popular author Susanne Marie Knight.
