Wilde in Love by Eloisa James
Series: The Wildes of Lindow Castle #1
Publisher: HarperCollins – Avon
Publication Date: October 31, 2017
Lord Alaric Wilde, son of the Duke of Lindow, is the most celebrated man in England, revered for his dangerous adventures and rakish good looks. Arriving home from years abroad, he has no idea of his own celebrity until his boat is met by mobs of screaming ladies. Alaric escapes to his father’s castle, but just as he grasps that he’s not only famous but notorious, he encounters the very private, very witty, Miss Willa Ffynche.
Willa presents the façade of a serene young lady to the world. Her love of books and bawdy jokes is purely for the delight of her intimate friends. She wants nothing to do with a man whose private life is splashed over every newspaper.
Alaric has never met a woman he wanted for his own . . . until he meets Willa. He’s never lost a battle.
But a spirited woman like Willa isn’t going to make it easy. . . .
The first book in Eloisa James’s dazzling new series set in the Georgian period glows with her trademark wit and sexy charm—and introduces a large, eccentric family. Readers will love the Wildes of Lindow Castle!
Hello!
I’m so thrilled to be introducing my new series and the amazing, eccentric cast of characters that stars in it—including the Duke of Lindow, his third duchess, his ten children, his ward, his twin sister, a peacock… Wilde in Love takes place at Lindow Castle during a house party to celebrate an engagement, and everyone attends. That includes the duke’s former ward, Mr. Parth Sterling, who’s a beloved part of the family, and now one of the richest men in England.
Carole’s Random Life in Books is kind enough to help me introduce the Wildes to the world. This blog is part of a scavenger hunt, and here is a link to the contest form for you to fill out after visiting Carole’s Random Life in Books. (or you could just grab Wilde in Love and learn all about the characters that way!).
Daily prizes range from an adorable skunk purse to a complete collection of my 20+ Avon novels. —be sure to check my Facebook page every day to find the new blog link! Good luck!
Today we are highlighting Parth, who is positively brilliant when it comes to making money. He’s turned all the Wilde inheritances into fortunes. He’s glad to be home with his “brothers” and would be enjoying the house party if it weren’t for the vexing Miss Lavinia Gray and her sassy insults!
5 Reasons to Adore Mr. Parth Sterling
1. He’s a very successful businessman, now one of the richest men in England.
2. He made his first fortune hunting down fancy tea in China while disguised as a “night soil” man.
3. He’ll wade into a stream to save a cat, even a yowling old tom.
4. He grew up the ward of the Duke of Lindow—but he’s not stuffy or stuck up.
5. Miss Lavinia Gray despises him…just as much as he despises her.
