An Encounter at the Museum
by Michelle Marcos, Claudia Dain, Deb Marlowe, Ava Stone

A Waltz in the Park by Deb Marlowe

James Vickers once believed honor and family duty to be his life’s work. Now he knows better—and he’s appointed himself as silent witness to his father’s sins. His greatest goal is to act as the continuously pricking thorn in his lordship’s side—and scandal is his greatest weapon. He has no use for an innocent young miss.

Propriety is Miss Adelaide Stockton’s most important asset. She must be all that is prim and proper if she’s to live down her parent’s misdeeds and have any hope of catching a husband. She must avoid scoundrels like Vickers at all costs.

Yet fate has thrown them together—and given each a key to the other’s ambition. A bargain is struck…but together they find that gaining what one desires most is far more difficult than a waltz in the park.

Also includes Charlotte's Bed by Karen Hawkins, Promises Made by Ava Stone, and Chasing Miss Montford by Claudia Dain.



Michelle Marcos' Bio

Michelle Marcos has finally reconciled herself with being thought eccentric. She lives with an unlucky number of cats and struggles with a debilitating Starbucks addiction. How a child of Cuban parents living in Miami could become such an Anglophile is still anybody’s guess. She graduated several centuries ago from the University of Miami with degrees in English and Education. Afterward, she spent several years being one of the “cool” teachers in a middle school, and had a brief but illustrious acting career playing roles like Lusty Housekeeper, Death, and (perhaps prophetically) Author.

Michelle has written a number of historical romance novels which have won several awards, including “Best Historical Romance” from both the New England and the Yellow Rose Romance Writers of America.
