From the Author
Dear Reader,
I love New York City. The people are damn serious about the way they live life. They work hard and play hard and needless to say, it got me thinking. Were the people of New York City just as hard core back in 1830 as they are now? You better believe they were. And those poor bastards didn’t have our modern conveniences, either. Back in 1830, people were trying to pave dirt streets with gold, even though they had nothing but sweat. So what happens when an American-Irish woman named Georgia with only coal clutched in each hand meets a British aristocrat who only ever had gold? You get a story known as the Prince and the Pauperette. But why stop there? After all, there is so much more to a story than poor vs. rich. I wanted to get down and dirty and twisted, digging into the real facets of life back in 1830, while giving you a good laugh and a good cry. As a writer, I get to play god (bwahahaha) and the idea of a person starting over against their will has always fascinated me. So I took away the hero’s memory and made him crawl back to the basics in life. Basics he forgot to appreciate. Basics he never thought he’d be able to return to. And he does it all while touching the life of one very special woman who makes him realize true love is not only real but priceless. I hope you enjoy my historical version of the Prince and the Pauper.
Much love,
Delilah Marvelle

From the Back Cover
Roderick Gideon Tremayne, the recently appointed Duke of Wentworth, never expected to find himself in New York City, tracking down a mysterious map important to his late mother. And he certainly never expected to be injured, only to wake up with no memory of who he is. But when he sees the fiery-haired beauty who’s taken it upon herself to rescue him, suddenly his memory is the last thing on his mind.
Georgia Milton, the young head of New York’s notorious Forty Thieves, feels responsible for the man who was trying to save her reticule from a thief. But she’s not prepared for the fierce passion he ignites within her. When his memory begins to return, her whole world is threatened, and Roderick must choose between the life he forgot and the life he never knew existed….
My thoughts:
Oh my sweet, sweet Delilah, you had me perplexed in this book, but in a good way. From the get go I was trying too hard to figure out who everyone was from Forever mine. And when I finally found out, I bawled like a baby. Oh course I can’t say what or who, but OH MAN!!!!
Forever & A day is book one in Delilah Marvelle’s Rumor series released on Dec 20, 2011. In Forever & a Day we find Georgia suddenly in charge of a man with no past, well he has a past he just can’t remember it.
The struggle that Georgia and Robinson go through to understand, cope and ultimately love each other was great. Georgia is a strong and feisty woman who knows what and who she wants out of life. Unlike Robinson who doesn’t remember anything of his past life. But he does know that he doesn’t care who he was, all he know is that he wants Georgia. That is until he learns who is really is…..
