   • bioText:

     USA Today bestselling author Jade Lee has been scripting love stories since she first picked up a set of paper dolls. Ball gowns and rakish lords caught her attention early (thank you Georgette Heyer), and her fascination with the Regency began. An author of more than 30 romance novels and winner of dozens of industry awards, she finally gets to play in the best girl-heaven place of all: a Bridal Salon! In her new series, four women find love as they dress the most beautiful brides in England. Lee lives in Champaign, Illinois.

What the Groom Wants

fullDescription

"This book has it all: suspense, humor, sexy love scenes, and enough sweet words to make a girl swoon."—Romantic Romp

Seamstress Wendy Drew knows she deserves better than the darkly seductive ways of the nefarious Demon Damon. Fortunately, Radley Lyncott is on hand to show her what she does deserve: a man who loves her like no other.

Radley Lyncott has been in love with Wendy Drew as long as he can remember. When he went to sea, she was too young to court. Now that he's returned to take up his Welsh title, he is appalled to find that debt has ruined the Drew family, and—even worse—Wendy is being courted by another man.

Family comes first for seamstress Wendy Drew, who is forced to settle her brother's debt by working nights at a notorious gambling den. But her double-life hasn't gone unnoticed—she has captivated none other than Demon Damon, a nefarious rake who understands Wendy's darkest desires and is hell bent on luring her into his arms.

      Danger and desire steam up Lee’s second wedding-themed Regency romance (after What the Bride Wore). Wendy Drew, co-owner of a popular dress shop, has spent months working at a gambling den to pay back her brother’s debts to underworld enforcer Demon Damon. Demon, however, makes it clear that what he wants is Wendy, and he will stop at nothing to get her. When her brother’s friend Radley Lyncott returns from sea and expresses his ardent and honest passion for her, she’s glad to encourage his suit—until Radley is unexpectedly named Duke of Bucklynde, after smallpox kills all the distant relatives who were ahead of him in the line of inheritance. Naturally, Wendy fears that a duke wouldn’t want a woman with her simple upbringing, even though Radley insists otherwise. Meanwhile, Demon’s obsession with Wendy spirals out of control, and he threatens the lives of those she loves most. Regency romance fans will stay glued to the story of this courageous heroine as she fights for love and safety.

      January 1, 2014
      No matter what she does, Wendy Drew just can't get ahead. Just when Wendy thinks she finally has enough money to pay off her brother's gambling debts, Demon Damon, the owner of the gaming hall, informs Wendy she miscalculated the interest owed on the debt. To make matters worse, Wendy learns she has less than two days to vacate the apartment she and her mother have lived in for years. However, when an old family friend, Radley Lyncott, returns home from sea, Wendy thinks her luck may finally have changed for the better. But before Radley can even begin courting Wendy, he discovers that he has unexpectedly inherited a title. Wendy is convinced that the new Duke of Bucklynde would never consider marrying a common dress-shop owner like herself. Strong, vibrant characters and a compelling plot that doesn't ignore the grittier aspects of Jane Austen's world will keep readers engaged in the latest sexy addition to Lee's Regency-set series (What the Bride Wore, 2013) revolving around a London dress shop.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
