Marrying The Royal Marine

From Ugly Duckling to Beautiful Swan

Illegitimate Polly Brandon has never felt like more than an ugly duckling. So she’s amazed when Hugh Philippe Junot pays her such close attention as they sail for Portugal.

Under ordinary circumstances she knows this distinguished Lieutenant Colonel of Marines would never have looked at her, but having his protection for the journey is comforting – and something more that she’s afraid to give a name to.

Should she trust what she sees in Hugh’s eyes – that she’s turned from ugly duckling to beautiful, desirable swan?

About the author

I started writing Regencies because of interest in the Napoleonic Wars. I like writing about warfare at sea and ordinary people of the British Isles, rather than lords and ladies. In my spare time I like to read British crime fiction and history, particularly the U.S. Indian Wars. I currently live in Utah. I'm a former park ranger, and double Rita Award and Spur Award winner. I have five interesting children and four grands. Favorite authors include Robert Crais and Richard Woodman.
