Synopsis

Coming to London has given Precious Jewell a taste of freedom, and she will do anything, bear anything, to keep it. Defying her master is at the top of her mind, and she won’t let his unnerving charm sway her. Yet, will her restored courage lead her to forsake a debt owed to the grave and a child who is as dear to her as her own flesh? Gareth Conroy, the third Baron Welling, can neither abandon his upcoming duty to lead the fledgling colony of Port Elizabeth, South Africa nor find the strength to be a good father to his heir. Every look at the boy reminds him of the loss of his wife. Guilt over her death plagues his sleep, particularly when he returns to London. Perhaps the spirit and fine eyes of her lady’s maid, Precious Jewell, might offer the beleaguered baron a new reason to dream. The Bargain is the first Port Elizabeth Regency Tale.

About this title

From the Author

I found a world, Port Elizabeth, where my inner Jane-Austen could offer a diverse set of characters ready to claim their happily-ever-after in the Regency World. Enjoy, there is a lot more to come.  Thanks for your support, Vanessa Riley

Review

USA Today Review by Michelle Monkou, Special for USA TODAYThe Bargain by Vanessa Riley
I'm a sucker for a good historical romance. Vanessa Riley's The Bargain is the first installment in a story loaded with the promise of adventure, emotional journey and, hopefully, romance for this bold heroine, Precious. This serial sets an authentic tone for this young woman's resiliency, courage and hope. I look forward to the story's continuation.

I can't wait to read the next phase. - Amazon ReviewerThe attraction between Precious and her master was felt (by Me) immediately. I was immediately drawn to Precious because of her strength and determination and will to survive and live. I love strong heroines and she was well written as such. - Amazon ReviewerGood story and I can tell by the story line that this will be an awesome series. Yes, I can't wait to see what happens next between Jewell and Lord Welling. - Amazon Reviewer
