Cover Reveal - - Where There's A Will

Where There's A Will
by Janna MacGregor
Prequel to A Duke in Time
Publisher: St. Martin's Paperbacks
Release Date: June 1, 2021


Katherine, Lady Meriwether Vareck, dreads attending the reading of her husband’s will, but she’s hoping she’ll at least have her dowry returned. And meet her departed husband’s half brother, the popular war hero duke, who seems to be everywhere, including her daydreams. Though the errant duke has never bothered to write or see her, Katherine decides to go to his house and introduce herself. Their first meeting shouldn’t be at a solicitor’s office, after all.


Even though he’s just returned home from the war, Christian Vareck, the Duke of Randford, is quite tired of all the ladies vying for his attention by throwing handkerchiefs his way. That is...until he catches a glimpse of her, the woman with a handkerchief in hand, walking to his front door. When she suddenly turns and leaves without introducing herself, Christian is surprisingly devastated. Determined to discover her identity, he plans to scour the streets of London until he finds her. But first, he must locate his late half brother’s missing will, then meet his late brother’s widow, too…

PJ says:

If I didn't already have Janna MacGregor's next full-length novel on pre-order this prequel would have sealed the deal. A quick (50-page) read, Where There's A Will introduces the main characters of A Duke in Time and sets the stage for their journey with witty dialogue, an intriguing mystery, a peek into events that will help readers understand what motivates Katherine and Christian, and the stirrings of a mutual attraction that could complicate everything...or open the door to a love they could not have imagined. 

Where There's A Will will be released June 1 but is available for pre-order now. Best of all? It's FREE! 

Where There’s a Will

A Duke in Time, the first full-length book in MacGregor's The Widow Rules series, will be released June 29. It also is available for pre-order. 

A Duke in Time
by Janna MacGregor
The Widow Rules - Book 1
Publisher: St. Martin's Paperbacks
Release Date: June 29, 2021


Katherine Vareck is in for the shock of her life when she learns upon her husband Meri's accidental death that he had married two other women. Her entire business, along with a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be a royal supplier, is everything she's been working for and now could be destroyed if word leaks about the three wives.


Meri's far more upstanding brother, Christian, Duke of Randford has no earthly clue how to be of assistance. He spent the better part of his adult years avoiding Meri and the rest of his good-for-nothing family, so to be dragged back into the fold is…problematic. Even more so is the intrepid and beautiful Katherine, whom he cannot be falling for because she's Meri's widow. Or can he?

With a textile business to run and a strong friendship forming with Meri's two other wives, Katherine doesn't have time for much else. But there's something about the warm, but compellingly taciturn Christian that draws her to him. When an opportunity to partner in a business venture brings them even closer, they'll have to face their pasts if they want to share each other's hearts and futures.

  1. I've not read her but she is on my tbb list. i'm not much for short stories unless they are included in the book. i've seen more epilogues than prequels done that way but I always enjoy those.

  2. I read The Bride who got Lucky. I do enjoy prequels very much and love epilogues. They are so satisfying and give me a great feeling.

  3. Jana MacGregor novels are lovely. I look forward to reading them as I do need new entertainment. Prequels are interesting and epilogues a requirement for me.

  4. I have read only 1 book by Janna and I did enjoy it. It was titled Wild, Wild Rake and it must have been a free book from author or a contest prize. It has encouraged me to look at more of her work. I do like both prequels and epilogues and prefer they be included with the book rather than published separately. I dislike having to pay extra for part of the book I've already purchased.

  8. Yes, I have read all Janna's books! Love them. My favorite so far is "The Good, The Bad and The Duke", followed closely by "Wild, Wild Rake":) I adore epilogues as they give a glimpse into the future of the happy couple after that usually hard won HEA...For me they are dessert after the main course:)

  12. I can't wait for this book & prequel! My preference is to wait till both are out, instead of waiting for the outcome. ;) I love Janna's books, and her most recent one, Wild, Wild Rake is my favorite!

  16. I don't believe I have read any of Janna's books. I ordered the prequel earlier today. I will say the blurb for both WHERE THERE'S A WILL and A DUKE I TIME are intriguing. This sounds like a good pair of books.
    I like prequels because the build the background for the next story cutting down on the necessity for extensive flashbacks and explanations in the main story. As for epilogues, yes please. It is nice to be able to see how the characters you grew to love are doing. To catch up on how they have grown and how relationships have strengthened.
