The Winter Bride
by Anne Gracie
Award-winning author Anne Gracie delivers an enticing new romance about four young women facing a life of destitution—until a daring act changes their fortune and turns them each into a beautiful bride...
Damaris Chance’s unhappy past has turned her off the idea of marriage forever. But her guardian, Lady Beatrice Davenham, convinces her to make her coming out anyway—and have a season of carefree, uncomplicated fun.
When Damaris finds herself trapped in a compromising situation with the handsome rake Freddy Monkton-Coombes, she has no choice but to agree to wed him—as long as it’s in name only. Her new husband seems to accept her terms, but Freddy has a plan of his own: to seduce his reluctant winter bride.
Will Damaris’s secrets destroy her chance at true happiness? Or can Freddy help her cast off the shackles of the past, and yield to delicious temptation?

Anne Gracie's Bio
Anne Gracie was born in Australia, but lived in Scotland, Greece and Malaysia, as well as different parts of Australia, because of her Dad's job. The moving taught her a) that it's horrible being "the new girl" b) that the world is a pretty terrific place and c) that moving teaches you to be good at accents.
Anne's first job was in a dog and cat boarding kennels,
where she soon realized the job was not playing with the
animals, but scooping up lots of you-know-what. 
She's
also a whizz at giving pills to cats. A voluntary job
teaching women with little kids English in their home made
her decide to become a teacher and she's done it ever
since, with bouts of traveling in between.
From her family she inherited a love of books and story- telling, a deep romantic streak (her great-grandfather wooed her great-grandmother with poetry and horses), a love of music and a penchant for keeping honeybees.
One year while traveling Anne started writing a story (very badly) in a series of notebooks. That story never got published, but the writing bug had bitten hard and she kept trying. Her first published book was a Rita finalist, and she recently won the National Readers Choice Award and the Australian Category Romance Book of the Year.
