Scandalous Weddings with Valerie Bowman

I am a Regency romance author but I’m visiting Maddie’s blog and she loves all things Scottish, so I thought I’d combine the two and give a little insight into a location that plays a large and varied role in my Regency romance debut, Secrets of a Wedding Night. That place is the infamous, Gretna…

“I don’t know.” Grace glanced at the book, still pinched at her location. “I haven’t read that far yet.”
“Well,” the housewife said. “Go on.”
Grace hesitated. “You want me…to read it?” Everyone on the platform of Farringdon Station watched her expectantly. “Out loud?”

This book sounds incredible and I can’t wait to start it!!
