Regina Jeffers,
the prolific and award-winning
author of historical cozy mysteries, Austenesque sequels and retellings, as
well as Regency era romances.She has worn many hats over her lifetime: daughter, student, military brat, wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, tax preparer, journalist, choreographer, Broadway dancer, theatre director, history buff, grant writer, media literacy consultant, and author.
Living outside of Charlotte, NC, Jeffers writes novels that take the ordinary and adds some mayhem, while mastering tension in her own life with a bit of gardening and the exuberance of her “grand joys.”
Her newest book in her Regency Romance genre is:
Angel Comes to the Devil’s
Keep
To give you a little taste, here is a brief Description:
Huntington McLaughlin, the Marquess of Malvern, wakes in a
farmhouse, after a head injury, being tended by an ethereal "angel,"
who claims to be his wife. However, reality is often deceptive, and Angelica Lovelace
is far from innocent in Hunt's difficulties. Yet, there is something about the
woman that calls to him as no other ever has.
When she attends his mother's
annual summer house party, their lives are intertwined in a series of mistaken
identities, assaults, kidnappings, overlapping relations, and murders, which
will either bring them together forever or tear them irretrievably apart. As
Hunt attempts to right his world from problems caused by the head injury that
has robbed him of parts of his memory, his best friend, the Earl of Remmington,
makes it clear that he intends to claim Angelica as his wife.
Hunt must decide
whether to permit her to align herself with the earldom or claim the only woman
who stirs his heart--and if he does the latter, can he still serve the dukedom
with a hoydenish American heiress at his side?
Here are a couple of Early Reviews:
The story is charming, with interesting and realistic characters,
a complex plot with plenty of surprises, and a sweet romance woven through it
all. The author has a good command of what it was like to be a woman in
nineteenth-century England--almost as if she had been there. She really did her
research for this one.
Angel Comes to Devil's Keep is a well-written tale of
courage and sacrifice and what women went through in order to marry well in
Regency England. The author did her homework and it shows in an authenticity
that we don't often see in Regency romances.
