The Reasons for Marriage: A Regency Romance

by Stephanie Laurens

Overview

Be swept away in the romance and elegance of this classic Regency story by #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens.

Miss Lenore Lester was perfectly content with her quiet country life, so she took steps to remain inconspicuous when managing her brothers’ house parties—but to no avail! Though Lenore hid behind glasses and pulled-back hair, she couldn’t disguise her beauty. The notoriously charming Jason Montgomery, Duke of Eversleigh, easily saw behind Miss Lenore’s brilliant disguise, and while she was determined not to be thrown off balance by this charming rake, he was equally determined to loosen the hold she had on her heart.

Editorial Reviews

Needing to marry but not wanting his current lifestyle altered, a worldly duke zeroes in on an intelligent, country-bred lady who has no intention of falling victim to his charms. With its lively banter, clever wit, and exquisitely depicted Regency setting, this classic charmer is a breath of fresh air and will appeal to fans of the traditional Regency and others who like their historicals simmering with sexual tension but light on explicit sex. One of Laurens's early titles and sweeter than her current offerings, the first hardcover edition was originally published by Mills & Boon in 1995 and subsequently reissued in various collections. It is the first of the "Lester Trilogy."
