A historical romance set in 18th century England. Sauce for the Gander is the first book in The Marstone Series; each book is a complete story with no cliff-hangers. A duel. An ultimatum. An arranged marriage. England, 1777 Will, Viscount Wingrave, whiles away his time gambling and bedding married women, thwarted in his wish to serve his country by his controlling father. News that his errant son has fought a duel with a jealous husband is the last straw for the Earl of Marstone. He decrees that Will must marry. The earl's eye lights upon Connie Charters, unpaid housekeeper and drudge for a poor but socially ambitious father who cares only for the advantage her marriage could bring him. Will and Connie meet for the first time at the altar. But Connie wants a husband who will love and respect her, not a womaniser and a gambler. Their new home, on the wild coast of Devonshire, conceals dangerous secrets that threaten them and the nation. Can Will and Connie overcome the forces against them and forge a happy life together?

Autorenporträt
Jayne Davis was born in England, near the Welsh border, and lived in several places while growing up, including a spell in Singapore and in Malta. Malta was where she got hooked on historical romances - her parents rented a furnished house, and the owners had left most of their books there, including a whole set of Georgette Heyer novels. Loving Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, she longed to write similar novels myself. She toyed with the idea several times over the years, but real life intervened and she had several careers, including as a non-fiction author under another name. Now she is also enjoying sharing her historical romance stories with her readers. www.jaynedavisromance.co.uk
