Book Description
Excerpt from The Vicar of the Marches What a contrast presented itself upon my awakening! Below, from the great paved court yard, the clash of weapons and the sound of mad contention rose with frightful insistency. From my cozy nest amid the cushions I bounded as though ejected by an arbalest. In three leaps I crossed the tower room, and peered from one of the oblong apertures opening upon the court. Little could I distinguish but a confused welter of men who shouted and swung their swords. Step by step, as I continued to gaze upon them, fasci nated by the sanguine scene, I saw that those who wore the garb of our service were being forced back toward the inner castle entrance. This, I well remember, kindled my boyish wrath, and I began crying shame upon them, but my weak treble carried no further in that medley of blows and oaths than the empty pipings of a bird.

Book Description
"Matthews' tale hits all the high notes of a great romance novel...Cue the satisfied sighs of romance readers everywhere." -Kirkus Reviews A World-Weary Rake After years of unbridled debauchery, Tristan Sinclair, Viscount St. Ashton has hit proverbial rock bottom. Seeking to escape his melancholy, he takes refuge at one of Victorian society's most notorious house parties. As the Christmas season approaches, he prepares to settle in for a month of heavy drinking...until an unexpected encounter changes his plans--and threatens his heart. A Prim Vicar's Daughter Valentine March is not the drab little spinster she appears to be. When her new job as a lady's companion lands her smack in the middle of Yorkshire with England's most infamous rake, she resolves to keep her head down and her eyes fixed firmly on her future--a future which most definitely does not include a sinfully handsome viscount. A Match Made in Scandal A friendship is impossible. An affair out of the question. But when one reckless act binds them together, will two star-crossed souls discover there's more to each other than meets the eye? Or will revelations from the past end their fragile romance before it begins?
