Married by Mistake

by Laurie Alice Eakes

When Dante Werian, Marquess of Edenvale helps a young woman escape from a burning building, he doesn't expect to learn he rescued her from the village jail. Nor does he expect to find himself married to her before the night ends.

Neither does Gabrielle Alexandra Lyn-Edred, known as Stormy due to her initials, expect to exchange the shackles of prison for the bonds of matrimony. But in 1814 Scotland, even an heiress convicted of a felony and a nobleman running from an intolerable family situation, can make the wrong claims before witnesses and find themselves married by mistake.

About the author

Laurie Alice Eakes used to lie in bed as a child telling herself stories so she didn’t wake anyone else up. Sometimes she shared her stories withothers; thus, when she decided to be a writer, she surprised no one.

In the past three years, she has sold six books to Baker/Revell, five of which are set during the Regency time period, four books to Barbour Publishing, as well as two novellas to Barbour Publishing and one to Baker/Revell. Seven of her books have been picked up by Thorndike Press for large print publication, and Lady in the Mist, her first book with Revell, was chosen for hardcover publication with Crossings Bookclub. She also teaches on-line writing courses and enjoys a speaking ministry that has taken her from the Gulf Coast to the East Coast.
Laurie Alice lives in Texas with her husband, two dogs and two cats, and is learning how to make tamales.
