Tempting Juliana
by Lauren Royal

It's a good thing Juliana Chase takes such pleasure in playing matchmaker, because there's nothing she wants more than to see her loved ones happy. Her latest pairing involves Dr. James Trevor, Earl of Stafford, and her friend Amanda. So why does the handsome physician insist on ignoring Juliana's good intentions and shaking up her sensible plans?

Since James lost his wife, he has buried himself in his work—until Juliana starts meddling with his heart. Instantly smitten with the determined beauty, he now must find a way to outwit Juliana at her own game—and convince her that the right match for her is under her very nose.

Lauren Royal's Bio

Lauren Royal became interested in the Restoration period at the age of fourteen, when she sneaked a valuable first- edition copy of Forever Amber out of her great-uncle's library. She began amassing a collection of history books and taking copious notes with the intention of someday writing novels of her own. A fourteen-year career as the CEO of her own jewelry store chain delayed those dreams, but she never forgot them. Lauren lives in southern California with her family.
