Hi, Mary!
Here's a definition of "whuff"from the Oxford English Dictionary:
"Whuff," verb: (intransitive) to make a sound as of a forcible blast of breath or wind; (transitive) to utter with such a sound. Also as (interrogative), imitating such a sound.
It's a little anachronistic for NOT QUITE A MARRIAGE; the OED dates the first print occurrence as 1896, in H. G. Wells' WHEELS OF CHANCE: "He huffed a contemptuous laugh." But I liked it so much that I used it anyways...

Hi, Morgan! Thanks for your note. I'm glad you've enjoyed the Pennington series.
I've been working on a new late-Regency-set historical series for the past two years now, but health and family issues have made the writing process much slower than I would like. I'm finally getting back to focusing on writing full-time this month, and am revisiting and revising the first half of the manuscript for the first book in what I think will be called the UNEXPECTED INHERITANCES series. You'll get a taste for it in my next newsletter (which I see you've just signed up for--thanks!), which I hope to be sending out in the next week or so.
Who are your favorite romance writers?

I'm working on the third book in The Penningtons' series, which features Kit's eldest brother, Theo. Some money has gone missing from the Saybrook estate, and Theo, the new Viscount Saybrook, has to find out where it's gone. Too bad Theo and numbers have never got along...
