Widows of West End Book 1: One Night with the Duchess 'I’m really looking forward to reading future works by this new voice in historical romance!' - Goodreads 'Maggie Weston is so much more than a writer. She is a researcher and keen observer with an incredible ability for illustrating emotions, reactions, and nuances in a way that allows you to connect deeply and personally with her characters.' - Goodreads Maggie is a Victorian era enthusiast. Though she grew up voraciously consuming classical literature, she stumbled upon her first romance novel at age eleven and never looked back. When she’s not writing or researching all the weird things our predecessors did, she can be found reading, taking on home improvement projects that she thinks she can handle (but can’t), and watching period dramas. Maggie lives with her husband, two dogs, horse, and innumerable houseplants in Dallas, Texas.
