Can spirited Regency era heroines defy convention and find love in unexpected places?
How might it feel to live in the fascinating Regency Era?
Victoria Richardson Heland grew up in Salisbury, Maryland. Her love of history can be traced to sneaking up to the attic at Georgetown Visitation and examining some of its treasures by flashlight. She is deeply grateful to whomever it was who periodically left the door unlocked.
Right out of college, Victoria became a computer programmer. Later she taught high school English and is still in touch with some of her former students. Dozens of her articles, poems, and stories have appeared in national and regional publications, and she has edited three nonfiction books.
Her historical novels include 3 Regency Romances: London Frolic, The Artful Cousin, and Mayfair Wager.
She now lives in Richmond, Virginia with her husband, partner, and soul mate, together with their exceptional cat.

Pledged to one lord, pursued by another, and in love with a third! Just who is the stunning, chestnut-locked, latest toast of the ton? Aurora Somerset, who, at twenty-three, stakes her future on the hunch that she will be happier with elderly Lord Simsbury than with her dashing — and philandering — neighbor, Lord Egerton.
But at the Mayfair house of Simsbury's sister, where Aurora is transformed from country duckling to city swan, a third lord enters the scene. Handsome, sophisticated, and just cynical enough to pique a sheltered woman's interest, Lord Kensington escorts his uncle's fiancée about town -- while Egerton wagers he can win her heart.
