Release day post – A Gentleman of Worth

A Gentleman of Worth is out on Kindle, KU, and paperback! l’m so excited to have Anthony and Amelia’s love story out there for everyone to read. So if you haven’t seen the blurb, I will put it below. Or if you just want to read about Anthony and Amelia, just click on the link to get your own copy or read it on KU!

A Gentleman of Worth

If you missed the previews here, just follow the links to the first 4 chapters!

Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, and Chapter 4.

 

 

Now! For the blurb!

As the granddaughter of the Earl of Richmond, Lady Amelia Montford is never in want of dance partners. Even though she finds the gentlemen tedious, she is always guaranteed good company for one set—her dance with the agreeable and handsome Sir Anthony Greene. Despite falling madly in love with the dashing baronet during her first Season, Sir Anthony has become a devoted friend and confidante. Yet of late, he has behaved oddly and has even declared he is attached to a lady! Amelia is dumbfounded. Sir Anthony claims he is in love with her? No, he could not be, not after all this time. She loved him once, but he broke her heart all those years ago. How is it possible to fall in love with someone a second time, with her best friend?

Sir Anthony Greene had not expected Amelia to react with such shock to his revelation. Worse, when it is bandied about London that he had an assignation in the garden with her at the Marquess of Ormonde’s ball, her reputation is in tatters, so they must marry. He finds himself resigned to a life with a lady he loves but who considers him no more than a friend in return! Such an existence will be a torture!

In the meantime, an old lover of Anthony’s father returns to town. Lady Lincoln holds secrets that can unravel any progress Anthony has made in his quest to win Amelia’s heart. Can Anthony thwart Lady Lincoln’s attempts to ruin his hopes of gaining Amelia’s regard? Can he prove himself a gentleman of worth?

 

 

 

 

 

L.L Diamond

L.L. Diamond is more commonly known as Leslie to her friends, Mom to her three kids, and servant to her three cats. A native of Louisiana, she has been a wanderer for the past 20 years, living in Mississippi, California, Texas, New Mexico, Nebraska, England, and Missouri before settling in Maryland.
One day, Leslie may decide what she wants to do when she grows up but for now, she enjoys writing the stories that live in her head and coaching age group swimming. She has degrees in biology and studio art, certifications to coach swimming in the United States and Britain, and numerous fitness certifications. Leslie is also a member of the Jane Austen Society of North America. Her accomplishments include drawing, watercolor, and playing flute and piano, but much like Pride and Prejudice’s Elizabeth Bennet, she is always in need of practice!

After watching Sense and Sensibility with her mother, Leslie became a fan of Jane Austen, reading her collected works over the next few years. Pride and Prejudice stood out as a favourite and has dominated her writing since finding Jane Austen Fan Fiction.

Aside from mother and writer, Leslie considers herself a perpetual student. She has degrees in biology and studio art, but will devour any subject of interest simply for the knowledge. As an artist, her concentration is in graphic design, but watercolour is her medium of choice with one of her watercolours featured on the cover of her second book, A Matter of Chance. She coaches swimming and holds a variety of fitness certifications. She is also a member of the Jane Austen Society of North America. Leslie also plays flute and piano, but much like Elizabeth Bennet, she is always in need of practice!

    The book sounds absolutely right up my alley; love, love lost, scandal, and someone coming back to stir the pot in the worst way. I would love to be the recipient of such a book. Thank you for the opportunity.

    1. Yay! Thanks, Christa!

    The story sounds interesting, and I love the way you write. I find your stories difficult to put down, but alas one needs to sleep! I enjoyed meeting Amelia and her brother in An Endeavor to be Worthy; following Amelia’s story will be a treat. Congratulations on publishing a new book.

    1. Thank you, jeannette!

    First, please don’t enter me in the giveaway as I’ve bought this book! I can’t comment on it yet unfortunately because I’d just started reading a particularly long book, I’m finding it quite hard going as I’m dying to find out how Anthony wins over Amelia. Best of luck with this book Leslie 🥰🥰🥰

    1. Thank you, Glynis!

    Happy release celebration day, Leslie! This is an enjoyable book, with all the elements that readers like: romance, steam, and angst. The hero is lovable, the heroine is sweet, and the writing is excellent. I expect there will be many people busily reading “A Gentleman of Worth” over the next few days!

    1. Thank you!!!!

    I have enjoyed the preview chapters… I have held off starting this series because I don’t like to wait for a continuing story. Now that I know that, so far, each book will focus on a different character within the group, I might just have to dive in.
    Do you know how many books will be in this series?

    1. I have 5 planned at the moment. One for each cousin then Georgiana. She’s not technically a Montford cousin but I consider her to be by marriage. Thanks, Sarah!
