This is another new to me, historical author with a book coming out November 2007.

I need to finish the list of upcoming books I want to keep an eye on because man there are lots. I just hope some turn out to be grand reads!

The Earl of Carleton’s sole commitment is to his hedonistic lifestyle until he makes a promise to a dying man. He must find his childhood friend a husband in three months or marry her himself.

The daughter of a notorious femme fatale, Gemma Maitland has the body of a siren, a morbid aversion to matrimony and a knack for fixing people’s lives. He needs to marry her off before she starts fixing him, but when practical Gemma suddenly discovers her inner temptress, is Carleton man enough to resist?

There is an excerpt here and you can find Wells on her blog. I really like the excerpt, which I have no business reading this far out!

I love a friends to lovers story and adore it when they are childhoold sweethearts. The biggest factor I have to over come with these types of stories is the wasted time. But that is another post ;).
