In for a Penny

IN FOR A PENNY

No more drinking. No more gambling. And definitely no more mistress. Now that he's inherited a mountain of debts and responsibility, Lord Nevinstoke has no choice but to start acting respectable. Especially if he wants to find a wife--better yet, a rich wife. Penelope Brown, a manufacturing heiress, seems the perfect choice. She's pretty, rational, ladylike, and looking for a marriage based on companionship and mutual esteem.

IN FOR A POUND

But when they actually get to Nev's family estate, all the respectability and reason in the world won't be enough to deal with tenants on the edge of revolt, a menacing neighbor, and Nev's family's propensity for scandal. Overwhelmed but determined to set things right, Nev and Penelope have no one to turn to but each other. And to their surprise, that just might be enough.

"Georgette Heyer, watch out! Rose Lerner serves up a sprightly and splendid Regency romance." --Lauren Willig, Author of The Secret History of the Pink Carnation

"The grit of Dickens and the true-to-life, breathing characters of Austen. Rose Lerner is a new star in the Regency firmament." --Judith Laik, author of The Lady Is Mine

"As a debut Regency novel, In for a Penny really hits the mark. Unlike so many other Regency novels, this one really dealt with the grit of day-to-day life for a Lord and Lady. I was drawn into the story from page one...beautifully drawn characters in richly painted setting."--Book Binge

"Rich in subtle characterization, deftly seasoned with danger, and tempered with just the right dash of tart wit and historical grit, Lerner's historical romance is to be savored."--Booklist

"Not infrequently, I find myself reading debut novels with heart. However, finding a brand new author who writes a first novel that not only has life, but also beautiful writing, charming characters, and attention to the small details happens far less often. In for a Penny is just such a book, and I adored it."--All About Romance

"Lerner's prose is apropos of the era, yet updated enough to delight today's reader. Her debut's quick pace and smart dialogue are perfect as the adventure and passion unfold."--Romantic Times Book Reviews

"In for a Penny is a wonderful, unusual, well-written Regency romance that is easily one of the best of the year so far. Leisure has a real gem in Rose Lerner and I can't wait for her next release."--The Romance Reader
