Clean Regency Romance
Can Lady Laura continue to love the Duke of Wimberley when she has evidence that he has committed a terrible crime?
Growing up in the shadow of her parents’ estrangement, Laura has learnt to mask her feelings. She is also unused to company. Her father, though an earl, was a recluse.
Now she must go to London during the Season where she will meet her mother - the mother she had pined for and resented in equal measure.
Laura finds herself a success. She has suitors offering for her but is secretly in love with the Duke of Wimberley. She isn’t sure about his feelings. Does it even matter? The duke is most attentive to the beautiful widow, Lady Mannering.
And then Laura learns a shocking truth about the duke. He is not the man he appears to be.
Anthony, Duke of Wimberley is in London to find a wife for the second time. Seven years ago he had made a love match. He knows better now. He is looking for someone who will take charge of the duties of duchess and also be a mother to his daughter.
His intention to guard his heart disappears as he comes to know Laura. Before he can proceed to court her, he becomes mired in perhaps the biggest Scandal of all time.
To his utter shock, not only does Lady Laura believe the worst about him, she goes out of her way to thwart him!
Not Just Lovely Laura is Book 2 of the Sisters by Marriage Series. It follows the book, Not So Sweet Maria. The books can be read in any order and also independently.

About the Author
Gita V. Reddy is a versatile author who writes children’s books and women-centric fiction. But when she needs a break from the serious stuff, she indulges in her guilty pleasure: regency romances. The kind that are clean, sweet, and witty, just like the ones she writes under the penname Jessica Spencer.
She started writing regency romances after completing a rather intense collection of stories in 2016 – A Tapestry of Tears – that left her exhausted and emotionally depleted. She needed some light-hearted fun, and what better way to have it than by creating characters who fall in love in the most unlikely ways?
Not So Sweet Maria was her first attempt at this genre, and she was so nervous about it that she hid behind a penname. Little did she know that it would become the first book in the Sisters by Marriage Series, and that Jessica Spencer would become a separate persona with a loyal fan base.
Gita V. Reddy lives in India with her husband of thirty-seven years and her son. She used to be a banker but always dreamed of being a writer. When she turned forty-nine, she quit her job to pursue her passion for writing. Her only interests are reading, writing, and occasionally illustrating her picture books. She also exercises, but only because she must.
