Surrender of Trust (Book 1)
Lucy Goodwin knows more about horse breeding than a proper young lady should. Her brother’s thoroughbred business has given her purpose and independence, but when an accident leaves her solely in charge, despair and destruction threaten her every move. Trapped in an impossible position, Lucy must do the right thing and watch their dreams crumble, or save their livelihood at a cost too great to bear.Lord Philip Lyton, Marquess of Chalifour is a member of the prestigious Jockey Club, dedicated to eliminating cheating in horse racing. Trouble raises its ugly head when his business partner falls foul of an accident and he’s suddenly forced to deal with the man’s sister, who seems alarmingly out of her depth. Chalifour respects Lucy’s steely resolve, but knows that single-mindedness can be the most dangerous trait of all.
She might be beautiful and beguiling, but Lucy Goodwin is keeping secrets and Chalifour is determined to find out what they are.
Can be read as a stand-alone read.
A Gentleman's Surrender (Book 2)
Call her a romantic--or a fool, Lady Monique Cathdon is determined to marry for love. After watching her parents tolerate an arranged betrothal, life seems too short to be wasted on keeping up appearances.After all, what's the point of having a heart if one refuses to follow it?
With a smile the devil himself might be proud of, James Stanton is not what her mother would call a matrimonial prospect. Still, there's something about the young man that sends Lady Monique's heart thumping around her chest, and silences her voice of reason.
Unfortunately for Lady Monique, the stakes are high, and young ladies of the ton make for very poor gamblers. Especially when James Stanton is on the hunt for revenge, and won't let an innocent woman--or his own passionate desires--get in the way of righting past wrongs.
Can be read as a stand-alone read.
From the moment she could put pen to paper, Mariel Grey knew she wanted to be a writer. Like all good adventures however, it didn’t happen overnight; it was after several decades of working in litigation that the desire to create dramatic worlds and characters became too great to ignore. Her first foray into historical romance, Surrender of Trust, explored the grime and glamour of regency horse racing, following the determined but impoverished Lucy Goodwin and upright Lord Chalifour. Her second novel, A Gentleman’s Surrender, introduced the innocent Lady Monique and tortured Mr. Stanton, both struggling to find love in a world filled with deceit.Though entirely at home in the ballrooms and street alleys of London past, Mariel Grey is currently working on a contemporary story set in Florida, a landscape dear to the author’s heart. When she isn’t conjuring words on her computer screen, Grey can be found on the water fishing, snorkeling, and enjoying the incredible natural beauty of her home.
Mariel has a wonderful husband (the hero of her own romantic story) as well as two mischievous rescue kittens (who are quite happy to play the role of villains). In addition to being a dutiful wife and animal wrangler, Mariel is a member of the Romance Writers of America and affiliated chapter of the Ancient City Romance Authors.

I loved the sound of this one and the era it is set in, so my type of read! x
I do so enjoy a good series. It sounds like this title has a little mystery in it too.
Thank you for taking the time to read and reviewing my book. I'm truly glad you enjoyed my story.

Early morning here and my grammar is not too good, but thank you none the less.
Another great review! I love when you do giveaways :) thank you for hosting this!
I love the way you review a book; it really draws me in to want to read it! I love period pieces like this!
I wish I had more time to read novels. This looks like the perfect book for relaxing on the beach this summer.
I love books that are part of a series, but do well as a stand along read. That means the author has invited us into a world where we want to get to know the characters, places etc.
I am a huge fan of series because if I love a book I never want it to end! I may pick this one up!
I am not really sure what all the "regency" period includes. I tried to Google it, but it wasn't very clear. If I could travel back in time, the 1800s would not be top of my list. I really like present day conveniences such as indoor plumbing, heating and A/C, antibiotics, anesthesia, wi-fi, etc... :-)
I would love to live in the country side .

Maybe England or Scotland, that's where my family is from.
It looks like a great book to read! This is series is really what i love to read.
I'm not sure the regency period would be a good fit for me but I would live in the Southern US and hopefully be a part of a wealthy family. I do however love the clothing and decor from that period.
It looks like a perfect book that my MIL would love! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I love the time period that this book was written in. It brings me back to a different time when women dressed differently and men were gentlemen.
I'd love to try living in Regency England. I've read a lot about that time and place.
I love historical fiction. Romance isn't normally my thing, but this looks interesting. Good luck to the author!
I grew up in England so that would be a natural choice. These epic romance tales sound fascinating.
I would like to live somewhere in the country.
woww. this is an interesting gift for this Valentine.
I am half Scottish so I would like to see the era when Scottish clans were at the peak!!
