member of The Rakes of St. Regentâs Park, has a secret: he leads a double life.
He sits on a progressive parliamentary committee by day, crafting laws to
benefit the less fortunate. But by night, Oliver tests those values, acting as
The Sentinel, a masked protector of the underprivileged. Nothing shakes his
stoic resolve until he comes to the aid of a bold and fiery woman who turns out
to be a lady detective. She awakens emotions Oliver believed were well hidden.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Claudia Ellingford has secrets of her own. The illegitimate
daughter of a villainous duke, she spent the past ten years surviving on the
streets. Recently hired by The Galway Investigative Agency, Claudia relishes
her exciting new occupation. But nothing prepared her for seeing a masked man
lurking in the shadows and patrolling the alleys of a notorious section of
London. What is more shocking is that the stuffy viscount who hired her is the
vigilante that stirred her dormant desire.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p>

with a vicious criminal determined to discover The Sentinelâs true identity.

It was relatively painless, and the files were easily adjusted to upload to Amazon. Print books will be available at Amazon (specific markets) and Barnes and Noble.<p></p><p>I am aware few people will be interested in this, but I wanted to have the option available. I also decided to only do this for books of mine with over 50,000 words. </p><p>UPDATE: Actually, I am selling more print books than I thought, so to any authors out there wondering if it is worth itâyes, it is.</p><p>I write at my leisure and impose no deadlines on myself. I am working on Book #6 of The Rakes of St. Regent's Park, THE VISCOUNT OF SHADOWS.

<p><strong>The Worst Woman in London</strong><br /><strong>Julia Bennet</strong><br />Publication date: February 2nd 2023<br />Genres: Adult, Historical, Historical Romance</p><blockquote><p>A defiant Victorian wife fights to escape a bad marriage but her love for a forbidden man jeopardizes her chance at freedom.</p>
<p>James Standish knows how to play societyâs game. Heâll follow the rules, marry a virginal debutante, and inherit a massive fortune. At least, thatâs the plan until he meets Francesca Thorne. Sheâs not the sort of woman a respectable gentleman like James could ever marryânot least because, strictly speaking, sheâs married already.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EXCERPT:</strong></p>
<p>Ten minutes before intermission, Francesca entered the crush room and found James asleep in his chair.</p>
<p>He looked different in repose, gentle and unguarded. Faint laugh lines marked the corner of each eye and, underneath, light shadows. What had put them there? Not worry, surely. Too many late nights, perhaps? His lips, so often curled sardonically, looked different tooâsofter, capable of compassion as well as teasing.</p>
<p>Ah, sheâd seen his compassion. The remembrance made her want to smooth the hair from his brow.</p>
<p>The stray impulse took her by surprise. He didnât need her tenderness. He was an English gentleman of means. Problems melted away before the bright rays of his wealth and breeding. Sheâd long lost her tendency to romanticize men of his type, or so sheâd thought. Yet here she was again.</p>
<p>His breaths grew shallower. Soon he would open his eyes and theyâd exchange awkward greetings. His duty to Edward discharged, heâd have nothing left to say, and, anyway, how did one behave toward a man whoâd seen one fall apart? If only sheâd waited for the end of the act, Caroline would be here now and this whole encounter with James couldâve been avoided. But, even though Edward had stopped pawing Mrs. Kirkpatrick, Francesca had wanted to escape. Fleeing from trouble; a worrying tendency she needed to check.</p>
<p>Just when sheâd decided to back away slowly, James opened one eye. He smiled up at her and shut it again before she had a chance to speak. Since he made no effort to hide a broad grin, she knew he wasnât still sleepy. What did he mean by it?</p>
<p>âJemmy, are you perchance a little the worse for drink?â she asked, escape plan forgotten.</p>
<p>âCertainly not, you rude girl,â he said, though his eyes remained closed.</p>
<p>Laughter welled up in her chest, but she held it in check. âThen perhaps youâre feeling unwell?â</p>
<p>âIâm never unwell.â How he managed to convey urbane insouciance while sprawled in a chair sheâd never know. âThis is the crush room, is it not?â</p>
<p>âOf course it is.â</p>
<p>âWell, there you are, then. I slipped in early to avoid the crush.â</p>
<p>How provoking he was when not comforting crying women. She waited, but he didnât speak. âYou were sleeping,â she informed him.</p>
<p>âNonsense, I was resting my eyes.â</p>
<p>âThatâs what all the old men say.â</p>
<p>At last, both eyes snapped open. âHas anyone ever told you that you have a forked tongue?â</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZMspj-uiGC8GHPgDhLCAxOYzQMKLlO_sXhmKoUmXkeZapCdpT7W-FJ41VDdIn9Nbl5puikDRSxtvmX6hR_GDcVrBxeXn22L60nDT3iCldTQCrfG8R-bNgE3jnZyhNlSJRboONlKzF7WdLWhAwDyE39xCv9rssrdpHbftrqcgErZktoowAW3PN2bh48A/s1800/INSTA_WorstWoman%20(1).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1787" data-original-width="1800" height="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZMspj-uiGC8GHPgDhLCAxOYzQMKLlO_sXhmKoUmXkeZapCdpT7W-FJ41VDdIn9Nbl5puikDRSxtvmX6hR_GDcVrBxeXn22L60nDT3iCldTQCrfG8R-bNgE3jnZyhNlSJRboONlKzF7WdLWhAwDyE39xCv9rssrdpHbftrqcgErZktoowAW3PN2bh48A/w368-h366/INSTA_WorstWoman%20(1).png" width="368" /></a></div><br /><p><br />

<p>âWhat a mess,â the woman said, brushing at her coat with the napkin Sassy handed to her. âIâm not usually such a klutz.â She gave up dabbing at the cider soaking into the white cashmere and looked to Bo again. âThank you for catching me before I fell. Iâm Juniper, by the way. Juniper Haynes.â</p>
<p>âJuniper,â Bo mumbled, finally managing to gain a miniscule amount of control over his tongue. However, his heart pounded so fast and loud, it echoed like a bongo drum in his head.</p>
<p>âThatâs an awesome name,â Sassy said, with the enthusiasm summoned by a teenager impressed by someone older and more worldly. âIâm Sassy, and this is Bo Jensen.â</p>
<p>Juniperâs smile widened as she looked up at him. Even with her high-heeled boots, she barely came up to his chest. Then again, at six-four, he tended to tower over a lot of people.</p>
<p>âSassy and Bo. Itâs so nice to meet you. Thank you, again, for catching me. Happy Christmas Eve.â Juniper turned away and took a lopsided step, but her foot slid on a patch of hidden ice. She would have fallen if Bo hadnât caught her a second time, his arms looping beneath hers from the back. She tilted her face upward and offered him a look of gratitude.</p>
<p>Something that felt like an electrical current trailed up his arms, threatening to short circuit what few working brain cells he had left.</p>
<p>Words.</p>
<p>He needed words.</p>
<p>To speakâto say anythingâbut nothing seemed to be able to work its way from his overloaded brain to his mouth. The sharp elbow Sassy jabbed into his side didnât help any more than her questioning glare to rattle something loose.</p>
<p>Bo stared at the woman, fascinated.</p>
<p><em>Juniper.</em></p>
<p>What an intriguing name for an entirely captivating woman.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>

cheekbones were chiseled, his forehead high. The short cut of his hair added to
the austerity of his features. There was no gentleness to be found. The leather
coat he wore added to the rough image, made him seem even more imposing. A
chill raced down her spine. This man would be a relentless opponent. He also
wasnât human, but she couldnât tell what he was.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"></span></p><div style="text-align: left;">

upon a time N.J. had the idea that she would like to quit her job at
the bookstore, sell everything she owned, leave her hometown, and
write romance novels in a place where no one knew her. And she did.
Two years later, she went back to the bookstore and her hometown and
settled in for another seven years.<br /><br />One day she gave notice at
her job on a Friday morning. On Sunday afternoon, she received a
tentative acceptance for her first romance novel and life would never
be the same.<br /><br />N.J. Walters is a New York Times and USA Today
Bestselling author who has always been a voracious reader, and now
she spends her days writing novels of her own. Vampires, werewolves,
dragons, time-travelers, seductive handymen, and next-door neighbors
with smoldering good looks--all vie for her attention. It's a tough
life, but someone's got to live it. </span>

<p>He lifted his head for the briefest of moments and gave me a slip of a smile. I loved this little power exchange we had going. Heâd demand, and Iâd push back. Not a lot, just enough to get him to smile.</p>
<p>âIs this a hostile takeover?â It was a valid question since the man gobbled up companies like I did chocolate candies.</p>
<p>Mark laughed. âNo, itâs something new.â He brought a pen to his mouth and chewed on the end, then laid it on the deskâ top. âItâs a partnership.â</p>
<p>I was tempted to snatch the pen heâd been chewing on but let that thought go. Instead, I leaned in like I would if I were to tell him a secret.</p>
<p>âCan I be candid with you?â</p>
<p>He leaned in like every word I uttered was important. âI always want you to be honest with me, Jess.â</p>
<p>I lifted my head so we were eye to eye. âForgive me for saying, but you donât come across as the kind of man who plays nicely with others.â</p>
<p>He looked up at me with eyes the same color as a smog-free California sky. âOh, Iâm really quite good at playing, Ms. Stone.â</p>
<p>He only used my last name when he was making a point he didnât want me to forget, but what was his point? His words seemed naughty in nature. Combined with his sly smile, and I was certain he was teasing me.</p>
<p>âIâd love to see that, Mr. Cantwell.â I made a note to get him the report within the hour. âBut in all honesty, you donât seem the type of man who likes to share, and a partnership implies sharing.â</p>
<p>He sat back and folded his arms across his broad chest. The smooth fabric of his custom suit gripped his muscles. âWeâre talking about two different things. I can play all day and never have to share.â He took the last bite of his muffin and watched me for a second. âI never share. Once something is mine, itâs mine forever.â</p>
<p>A shiver ran down my spine. He was probably talking about money or possessions, but when he looked at me and said those words, my heart beat wildly. What would it be like to be Mark Cantwellâs woman for a minuteâa dayâforever?</p>

thrust into the role of the Duke of Chellenham. His loathsome and debauched
father was too busy indulging in his vices and left the dukedom in shambles.
Damon turns to Althea Galway, co-owner of the Galway Investigative Agency, to
assist in unraveling the tangled mess. Since meeting Althea months ago, he
hasnât been able to get her out of his mind, for he is captivated by her
intellect, compassion, and confidence. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Althea Galway has never been impressed by money or
title. Or by looksâalthough Damon, the devilishly handsome, golden-haired duke,
caught her attention at first glance. Arrogant and egotistical, he is called
Dorian Gray by society because of his reprobate reputation. But Althea senses
deep loneliness, perhaps even inner scars, and is compelled to find the
honorable man she believes is hidden behind the cool exterior. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal">
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Damon and Althea are swept up into a maelstrom of
revelations: a conspiracy involving the late duke and others from the privileged
class. Add a personal crisis into the mix, and finding a way to a shared future
together seems hopeless. But they cannot deny the scorching attraction between
them. Finding a way to make it all work will be a challenge. But it is one the
duke and the lady detective are determined to overcome.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p> </p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio8UtEjGFvJwBCcbVxKl2gmmvJHBmp_39lSnJ46uDTTfgLiYrXObO753zXNelcgO4_Ue-Z7thUafae7fLLGAo-AczoMqUpbPEeIQyVNJ3HpRFzLdWgZwNvyH1mJk92dL17gMIKlGOhuJKtcKzu2VzEWg9mMaP-E9BaF4v6tTUzbMb2MnBRTMPAu4WO/s1050/thenotsoperfectduke1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="1050" height="348" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio8UtEjGFvJwBCcbVxKl2gmmvJHBmp_39lSnJ46uDTTfgLiYrXObO753zXNelcgO4_Ue-Z7thUafae7fLLGAo-AczoMqUpbPEeIQyVNJ3HpRFzLdWgZwNvyH1mJk92dL17gMIKlGOhuJKtcKzu2VzEWg9mMaP-E9BaF4v6tTUzbMb2MnBRTMPAu4WO/w523-h348/thenotsoperfectduke1.jpg" width="523" /></a></div><p></p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<p style="font-weight: bold;"></p><p></p></blockquote><b>
FROM THE AUTHOR: </b>Hello! This book is all new material! I had lots of fun writing this, as Damon is quite the rogue. But ultimately, this book is about lost family found, how love can be transformative, and how various crises can make one stronger. Hey, love <i>can </i>conquer all! :)<div><br /></div><div>I have also started book #6 (working title, The Viscount of Shadows) and it will concern Oliver Wollstonecraft (grandson to Aidan, the hero of <b>Love with a Notorious Rake</b>-Men of Wollstonecraft Hall #3) Will there be more after #6? The potential is there, as Oliver has lots of cousins *wink* but I am taking this one book at a time. Cheers!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGAMD6jCgVIICowqHMCF64iA9ZiQLop9fK8LCJ9XxXMwmlP73696HfFxFnnWOpWiGUqc0f8i_pRK2wpTYVPLoIjWgWhWYuO-7hYnIHQ7eYB-ye7bRECsLn3zaYaAlByTcavEVTi1XGq83DxWUJ66XA_RflSuOeb1_7ag21sLCU-ljWCpSqumDrWg2X/s267/c-%20excerpt.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="146" data-original-width="267" height="146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGAMD6jCgVIICowqHMCF64iA9ZiQLop9fK8LCJ9XxXMwmlP73696HfFxFnnWOpWiGUqc0f8i_pRK2wpTYVPLoIjWgWhWYuO-7hYnIHQ7eYB-ye7bRECsLn3zaYaAlByTcavEVTi1XGq83DxWUJ66XA_RflSuOeb1_7ag21sLCU-ljWCpSqumDrWg2X/s1600/c-%20excerpt.png" width="267" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><p class="MsoNormal">And there was the haughty, imperturbable duke. Why she kept
trying to see any good in him was beyond her typical sound reasoning.
Disappointed, Althea fussed with her notebook and pencil. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âThen, by all means, letâs keep this professional. What can
I help you with?â Althea replied using her business-like voice.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âI want you specifically to handle the case. Wenlock and
Watford sing your praises. And Allenby, obviously.â Damon reached into his coat
pocket and removed a small cloth bag. âThe first payment. Twenty gold
sovereigns.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âMoney, though welcome, is not an inducement for me to
take <i>any </i>case. I will need more information first.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âThe money is a bonus for the stipulations that will be part
of this investigation. I want to be involved every step of the way, as Allenby
was with his situation. This is non-negotiable.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Althea scowled as she disliked anyone establishing
conditions on her inquiries. âWonât that interfere with your thoroughly
debauched lifestyle? How will you cope?â she replied sarcastically. Honestly,
this man brought out the worst in her, and Althea did not like it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âStill interested in my private life? Do you wish to ask me
probing questions as you did in Allenbyâs case?â Damon replied with mockery in
his tone.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Althea shook her head, embarrassed at her statement. His
personal life was none of her business.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">She was ready to apologize when he said, âI will make a pact
here and now. Throughout this case, I will live as a proverbial monk, be at
your beck and call, day or night. For the investigation, of course.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âI will not ask for such a sacrifice from you, but I will
involve you should I take your case. What can you tell me?â She held her
pencil, ready to take notes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> âFirst. In the matter
of death. My father passed away late last night. I was called to his town house
at two this morning and have not been to bed since. I need you to send your
police surgeon to St. Thomasâs to assist with the autopsy. My fatherâs doctor
will be in attendance as well.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âWas the death suspicious?â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Damon explained how his father was found as Althea furiously
took notes. Good Lord, these peers were a depraved lot.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âIt could be a heart attack, as the detective alleged. How
old was your father?â she ventured.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âFifty-seven. As far as I am aware, no heart problems. But
how am I to know? We were not close. We rarely spoke, let alone exchanged
private information regarding health or other sensitive topics.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">She looked up and met his gaze. Damon was watching her
rather intensely. âTo be clear, you wish Doctor Buchanan to assist in the
autopsy. Is the mortuary doctor at St. Thomasâs aware of this?â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âYes. And yes.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âIs your carriage outside?â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âYes.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Damon looked weary; no wonder with no sleep. Blast it all
for feeling concerned about his welfare and state of mind. Besides all the
other conflicting emotions he brought forth, he also awakened the protective
instinct within her.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âDoctor Buchanan is at my uncleâs precinct this morning. I
will write a note, and your driver can take it to him. What time do you wish
him to be there?â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âTwo oâclock. Sorry for the short notice. My fatherâs
physician, Doctor William Breaks, will also be there. I want a complete report.
And I want Buchanan to thoroughly question Breaks as to the state of my
fatherâs health.â <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Althea continued to write her note. Without looking up, she
said, âIt has been my experience that many doctors do not reveal their
patientâs personal health details unless compelled to do so.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âThen write in your note if he doesnât give details to
Buchanan that he will deal with my team of solicitors,â Damon snapped. âThat
should compel him.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Althea met his gaze, an eyebrow arching at his irritable
tone.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Damon rubbed his forehead. âI apologize.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âDamon,â she said softly. His penetrating gaze grew heated
at her saying his name. âNo apology is necessary. You said in your note that
your being here concerns life and death. Is there something else beyond your
fatherâs death you wish to hire the agency for?â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âYes. It is rather complicated and does concern my late
father.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âThen we will deal with your fatherâs death first. Youâre
exhausted. Go home and sleep for a few hours. As soon as I have any
information, I will come to you. Will you be at 10 Clarendon Place?â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He rubbed his temple. âYes, perhaps that is wise. And I will
be at the Brookton town house.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âAfter your driver drops you home, he can deliver the note
to Doctor Buchanan, and I will take it from there. If you havenât guessed, I
will take your case.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âThank you. I will try to catch some sleep and await your
arrival.â He stood and turned to leave, but halted. âI thank you for your compassion.â
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He was gone, and Althea sat back in her chair. Never had she
seen him so vulnerable. It touched her deeply. She made a vow then and there.
To be more sympathetic in her dealings with him. To not allow him to infuriate
her or, worseâarouse more than her exasperation. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For she was correct, Damon Cranston, the new Duke of
Chellenham, <i>was</i> a danger to her heart.<o:p></o:p></p>

REGENT'S PARK SERIES</span></b></p><p><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17.12px; margin-bottom: 12pt;">In a private meeting place, in an old bank office behind Colosseum Terrace on Albany Street, a group of gentlemen attended a gathering. It had nothing to do whatsoever with financing, investments, or stocksâunless you counted moral bankruptcy. The central rules of this club: no serious attachments to anyone, and the pursuit of oneâs own pleasures, especially of the carnal variety, were to be of the utmost importance.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17.12px; margin-bottom: 12pt;">But weariness and boredom were setting in. Along with something more worrying: loneliness. A disquiet of the soul. These bad boy peers of Victorian London were damaged, hiding their inner torture beneath a thin veneer of devil-may-care dissoluteness.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17.12px; margin-bottom: 12pt;">It takes an exceptional group of women to capture the hearts of such men. To see past the outer shell. The ladies are determined to live and love in their own way, with no relinquishment of their independence and no compromises. How satisfying to find that deep down, these progressive men are in total agreement.<o:p></o:p></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17.12px; margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17.12px; margin-bottom: 8pt;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G4FmDfAiqRI/YEZi7f8uHMI/AAAAAAAAMwA/CxsfyF9p9aon-lBEWkKH2ZNxBN-Dt_UUQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/ProtectiongTheDuke-HiRes%2B%25281%2529.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G4FmDfAiqRI/YEZi7f8uHMI/AAAAAAAAMwA/CxsfyF9p9aon-lBEWkKH2ZNxBN-Dt_UUQCLcBGAsYHQ/w240-h360/ProtectiongTheDuke-HiRes%2B%25281%2529.jpg" width="240" /></a><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Blurb for PROTECTING THE DUKE (The Rakes of St. Regent's Park #1)</span></b></p><p><br /></p><p>The fact that women couldnât join the London Metropolitan Police was an injustice to Eleanora Galway. She found her way around such an obstacle: by forming a detective agency. When a note arrives from a duke concerning a mysterious and gruesome delivery, Eleanora agrees to investigate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Despite the pursuit of pleasures by The Rakes of St. Regentâs Park, weariness and boredom were setting in. Along with stark loneliness. No one felt this more than Christian Bamford, Duke of Allenby. Once the Galway Agency arrives, Christian is fascinated by Eleanora and her razor-sharp deductive mind and bold confidence. She attracts him as no other woman has done before.</p><p><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17.12px; margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span></p><p>When Christian proposes assisting her with her inquiries, Eleanora initially balks. But the temptation of being in the darkly handsome dukeâs company is hard to resist. Swept up into an adventure and a passion neither had counted on, the blending of unlikely lives, occupations, and societal standing seems insurmountable. But for the independent Eleanora and the progressive-minded Christian, nothing is impossible. Not even love.</p><p><br /></p><div class="css-901oao r-18jsvk2 r-1qd0xha r-a023e6 r-16dba41 r-rjixqe r-bcqeeo r-bnwqim r-qvutc0" dir="auto" id="tweet-text" lang="en" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;

Due to his wretched past, he often refers to himself as the Duke of Pain. He selfishly breezed through life with no thought for anything or anyone. All that changed when Gideon met Olivia Durham at an exclusive club. The passionate encounter has him reeling, as he never experienced these powerful emotions before.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400; text-align: left; white-space: normal;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Olivia also has a dark past. Hiding behind a fictitious persona, she provides a particular service to her clients. One that doesnât involve physical intimacy, for Olivia cannot stand to be touched. In all her years at the club, no man has sparked her interestâuntil Gideon. Despite trying to ignore the intense feelings swirling between them, Olivia finds the darkly handsome duke hard to resist. When secrets from her past come to light, the complications become insurmountable.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400; text-align: left; white-space: normal;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">There are multiple obstacles to overcome, including shared doubts about their capacity to feelâanything. For two emotionally closed-off people to find and accept enduring happiness? Gideon and Olivia must believe that love can conquer all.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400; white-space: normal;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;

Valentine gripped the handle of her rolling carry-on luggage as she watched the
tiny regional plane taxi toward her gate at the Charlotte Douglas International
Airport. She honestly wished she hadnât seen it. Then she could pretend it was
a larger plane. A stable plane. The kind sheâd become accustomed to flying in
over her past thirty-nine years of life. Not one of those little puddle jumpers
sheâd always taken great pains to avoid.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Body-TextCxSpFirst">She loosened her grip when she realized her nails
were stabbing her palms. She opened her hand, studying the row of angry
semicircles that trailed across her skin. Chandra took a deep breath, her eyes
drifting closed momentarily. When she opened them, she was greeted by a
penetrating dark gaze.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle">The incredibly handsome man tipped his chin in
greeting as he rubbed his full beard. Typically, sheâd considered a full-grown
beard a turnoff. Who knew exactly what might be lurking in that thing? But for
this brother, sheâd make an exception.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle">He was dressed in an unbuttoned, green and black
plaid shirt over a black Henley shirt, distressed jeans and brown Timberland
boots. His lop-sided smile made her belly flip in ways it hadnât in longer than
she cared to admit.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle">Chandra gave him a quick nod and an awkward wave
before sauntering away.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle">The man was <span class="ITALIC">fine</span>. In
ways she could wax poetically about for days. But this wasnât a girlsâ trip to
Vegas. She was about to board a tuna can with wings so she could meet her dad
in some small mountain town in Tennessee.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle">If she didnât feel a sense of urgency to get to
the little town of Magnolia Lake, where her dad had summoned her and her five
younger siblings, she wouldâve flown to the closest major airport then driven
the remainder of the way through the mountains. But she was worried about her
dad.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle">Abbott Raymond Valentine had turned sixty-nine on
his last birthdayâwhich sheâd missed because she was at a company retreat in
Utah. Her father had been in sort of a funk since his mother had died a few
years ago. It didnât feel quite like mourning, but something deeper. She hadnât
been able to figure out what it was, and her dad wouldnât open up about what he
was feeling. Heâd been grumpy and evasive whenever she tried to broach the
topic, which ruined the mood of their weekly calls. So sheâd stopped asking,
hoping heâd eventually be ready to confide in her.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle">But two weeks ago, her father had called a big
family meeting via teleconference to inform them he needed to see all of them
in person. Despite their pleading and threatening, her father wouldnât offer
the slightest hint of what this was about. Chandra was terrified about what might
prompt her father to gather them together like this for the first time since
her grandmother's funeral.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle">Itâd taken three days and an online calendar for
the six siblings to figure out when their schedules would permit all of them to
take time off their jobs and get together for at least a week, preferably
twoâas her father had requested. But here she was on her way to some tiny town
in the Smoky Mountains where she only hoped they had internet, cell phone
service and indoor plumbing because hiking in the woods was the limit of her
outdoorsyness.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle">Chandra settled into a seat as far away as she
could get from the handsome man with the gorgeous dark eyes who was making her
rethink her stance on beards. Because as much as sheâd like to get to know him
up close and personal, she didnât have time for extracurricular activities on
this trip.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle">She was a problem solver. Had been since she was
eight years old and returned from school to discover the <span class="ITALIC">Dear Abbott</span>
letter her mother had left on the kitchen counter.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle">Her father had been gutted. She, Nolan, Sebastian and
Alonzo had been devastated. Just like that, sheâd become the adult in the house
as her father struggled to deal with her motherâs abandonment. In some ways,
sheâd felt like the only adult in the room with her family ever since.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle">Chandra rubbed her arms against the chill in the
airport, still devastated by the painful memory.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Body-TextCxSpMiddle">Mr. Handsome stared at her from across the wide
expanse.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Body-TextCxSpLast">Chandra pulled the book on teambuilding sheâd been
reading from her purse and opened it. She couldnât afford to be distracted by
the man. She needed to get to the bottom of whatever was going on with her
father, solve whatever problem needed to be solved then return to San Diego.<o:p></o:p></p>

<span color="#"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">Working
as a Hollywood photographer means Riley Temple has seen it all, but
that theory is put to the test when she finds herself staring at the
chilling image of a dead woman. When her questions about the film's
origin results in an assault, a murder, and an attack on Riley
herself, she finds herself reluctantly turning to the only person who
assures her he can help: Detective Quinn Burton. Her history with the
LAPD is complicated, but to find those responsible for harming her
friends and to protect those closest to her, she's willing to do
anything. Even trust a cop.</span></span></p>
<p style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.15in; padding: 0in;">
<span color="#"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">After
more than a decade on the job, Quinn Burton knows a dangerous
situation when he sees it and Riley Temple is neck deep in trouble.
But not for the reason she thinks. Those pictures she stumbled onto
could very well overturn a notorious murder conviction--a conviction
partially secured by Quinn's own police commissioner father. Quinn
has always prided himself on being loyal, but seeing this case
through means he'll have to betray someone: his job, his family, or
the woman he's falling in love with.</span></span></p>
<p style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.15in; padding: 0in;">
<span color="#"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">As
Quinn and Riley's relationship deepens, their investigation reveals
the false conviction is only a small part of a much bigger
conspiracy. They soon find themselves targeted by The Circle of the
Red Lily, a secret society that for decades has maintained influence
and violent control over Hollywood's powerful elite. A group that,
until now, has remained hidden in the shadows.</span></span></p>
<p style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span color="#"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">A
group that will stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried.</span></span></p>

thrust into the role of the Duke of Chellenham. His loathsome and debauched
father was too busy indulging in his vices and left the dukedom in shambles.
Damon turns to Althea Galway, co-owner of the Galway Investigative Agency, to
assist in unraveling the tangled mess. Since meeting Althea months ago, he
hasnât been able to get her out of his mind, for he is captivated by her
intellect, compassion, and confidence. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Althea Galway has never been impressed by money or
title. Or by looksâalthough Damon, the devilishly handsome, golden-haired duke,
caught her attention at first glance. Arrogant and egotistical, he is called
Dorian Gray by society because of his reprobate reputation. But Althea senses
deep loneliness, perhaps even inner scars, and is compelled to find the
honorable man she believes is hidden behind the cool exterior. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal">
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Damon and Althea are swept up into a maelstrom of
revelations: a conspiracy involving the late duke and others from the privileged
class. Add a personal crisis into the mix, and finding a way to a shared future
together seems hopeless. But they cannot deny the scorching attraction between
them. Finding a way to make it all work will be a challenge. But it is one the
duke and the lady detective are determined to overcome.<o:p></o:p></span></p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</blockquote><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">LINKS </span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" style="background-color: white;

FROM THE AUTHOR: </b>Hello! This book is all new material and up for pre-order! Release date is Nov 29, 2022. I had lots of fun writing this, as Damon is quite the rogue. But ultimately, this book is about lost family found, how love can be transformative, and how various crises can make one stronger. Hey, love <i>can </i>conquer all! :)<div><br /></div><div>I have also started book #6 (working title, The Viscount of Shadows) and it will concern Oliver Wollstonecraft (grandson to Aidan, the hero of <b>Love with a Notorious Rake</b>-Men of Wollstonecraft Hall #3) Will there be more after #6? The potential is there, as Oliver has lots of cousins *wink* but I am taking this one book at a time.

REGENT'S PARK SERIES</span></b></p><p><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17.12px; margin-bottom: 12pt;">In a private meeting place, in an old bank office behind Colosseum Terrace on Albany Street, a group of gentlemen attended a gathering. It had nothing to do whatsoever with financing, investments, or stocksâunless you counted moral bankruptcy. The central rules of this club: no serious attachments to anyone, and the pursuit of oneâs own pleasures, especially of the carnal variety, were to be of the utmost importance.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17.12px; margin-bottom: 12pt;">But weariness and boredom were setting in. Along with something more worrying: loneliness. A disquiet of the soul. These bad boy peers of Victorian London were damaged, hiding their inner torture beneath a thin veneer of devil-may-care dissoluteness.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17.12px; margin-bottom: 12pt;">It takes an exceptional group of women to capture the hearts of such men. To see past the outer shell. The ladies are determined to live and love in their own way, with no relinquishment of their independence and no compromises. How satisfying to find that deep down, these progressive men are in total agreement.<o:p></o:p></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17.12px; margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17.12px; margin-bottom: 8pt;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G4FmDfAiqRI/YEZi7f8uHMI/AAAAAAAAMwA/CxsfyF9p9aon-lBEWkKH2ZNxBN-Dt_UUQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/ProtectiongTheDuke-HiRes%2B%25281%2529.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G4FmDfAiqRI/YEZi7f8uHMI/AAAAAAAAMwA/CxsfyF9p9aon-lBEWkKH2ZNxBN-Dt_UUQCLcBGAsYHQ/w240-h360/ProtectiongTheDuke-HiRes%2B%25281%2529.jpg" width="240" /></a><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Blurb for PROTECTING THE DUKE (The Rakes of St. Regent's Park #1)</span></b></p><p><br /></p><p>The fact that women couldnât join the London Metropolitan Police was an injustice to Eleanora Galway. She found her way around such an obstacle: by forming a detective agency. When a note arrives from a duke concerning a mysterious and gruesome delivery, Eleanora agrees to investigate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Despite the pursuit of pleasures by The Rakes of St. Regentâs Park, weariness and boredom were setting in. Along with stark loneliness. No one felt this more than Christian Bamford, Duke of Allenby. Once the Galway Agency arrives, Christian is fascinated by Eleanora and her razor-sharp deductive mind and bold confidence.

But the temptation of being in the darkly handsome dukeâs company is hard to resist. Swept up into an adventure and a passion neither had counted on, the blending of unlikely lives, occupations, and societal standing seems insurmountable. But for the independent Eleanora and the progressive-minded Christian, nothing is impossible. Not even love.</p><p><br /></p><div class="css-901oao r-18jsvk2 r-1qd0xha r-a023e6 r-16dba41 r-rjixqe r-bcqeeo r-bnwqim r-qvutc0" dir="auto" id="tweet-text" lang="en" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;

Due to his wretched past, he often refers to himself as the Duke of Pain. He selfishly breezed through life with no thought for anything or anyone. All that changed when Gideon met Olivia Durham at an exclusive club. The passionate encounter has him reeling, as he never experienced these powerful emotions before.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400; text-align: left; white-space: normal;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Olivia also has a dark past. Hiding behind a fictitious persona, she provides a particular service to her clients. One that doesnât involve physical intimacy, for Olivia cannot stand to be touched. In all her years at the club, no man has sparked her interestâuntil Gideon. Despite trying to ignore the intense feelings swirling between them, Olivia finds the darkly handsome duke hard to resist. When secrets from her past come to light, the complications become insurmountable.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400; text-align: left; white-space: normal;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">There are multiple obstacles to overcome, including shared doubts about their capacity to feelâanything. For two emotionally closed-off people to find and accept enduring happiness? Gideon and Olivia must believe that love can conquer all.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400; white-space: normal;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;

FROM THE AUTHOR: </b>Hello! I am almost finished this book, then it as to go through edits, so I am hoping it will be ready for release later in 2022, but as I have said many times before, I do not place deadlines on myself, so anything can happen (either in my life, or world events) that may cause delays. I am having lots of fun with this, as Damon is quite the rogue. But ultimately, this book is about lost family found, how love can be transformative, and how various crises can make one stronger. Hey, love <i>can </i>conquer all! :)<div><br /></div><div>I have also started book #6 (working title, The Viscount of Shadows) and it will concern Oliver Wollstonecraft (grandson to Aidan, the hero of <b>Love with a Notorious Rake</b>-Men of Wollstonecraft Hall #3) Will there be more after #6? The potential is there, as Oliver has lots of cousins *wink* but I am taking this one book at a time. Cheers!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>NOTE: And real life has reared its head, due to a family illness, I am 3 weeks behind, but hey!

It had nothing to do whatsoever with financing, investments, or stocksâunless you counted moral bankruptcy. The central rules of this club: no serious attachments to anyone, and the pursuit of oneâs own pleasures, especially of the carnal variety, were to be of the utmost importance.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17.12px; margin-bottom: 12pt;">But weariness and boredom were setting in. Along with something more worrying: loneliness. A disquiet of the soul. These bad boy peers of Victorian London were damaged, hiding their inner torture beneath a thin veneer of devil-may-care dissoluteness.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17.12px; margin-bottom: 12pt;">It takes an exceptional group of women to capture the hearts of such men. To see past the outer shell. The ladies are determined to live and love in their own way, with no relinquishment of their independence and no compromises. How satisfying to find that deep down, these progressive men are in total agreement.<o:p></o:p></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17.12px; margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17.12px; margin-bottom: 8pt;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G4FmDfAiqRI/YEZi7f8uHMI/AAAAAAAAMwA/CxsfyF9p9aon-lBEWkKH2ZNxBN-Dt_UUQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/ProtectiongTheDuke-HiRes%2B%25281%2529.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G4FmDfAiqRI/YEZi7f8uHMI/AAAAAAAAMwA/CxsfyF9p9aon-lBEWkKH2ZNxBN-Dt_UUQCLcBGAsYHQ/w240-h360/ProtectiongTheDuke-HiRes%2B%25281%2529.jpg" width="240" /></a><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Blurb for PROTECTING THE DUKE (The Rakes of St. Regent's Park #1)</span></b></p><p><br /></p><p>The fact that women couldnât join the London Metropolitan Police was an injustice to Eleanora Galway.

Along with stark loneliness. No one felt this more than Christian Bamford, Duke of Allenby. Once the Galway Agency arrives, Christian is fascinated by Eleanora and her razor-sharp deductive mind and bold confidence. She attracts him as no other woman has done before.</p><p><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17.12px; margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.6933px; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span></p><p>When Christian proposes assisting her with her inquiries, Eleanora initially balks. But the temptation of being in the darkly handsome dukeâs company is hard to resist. Swept up into an adventure and a passion neither had counted on, the blending of unlikely lives, occupations, and societal standing seems insurmountable. But for the independent Eleanora and the progressive-minded Christian, nothing is impossible. Not even love.</p><p><br /></p><div class="css-901oao r-18jsvk2 r-1qd0xha r-a023e6 r-16dba41 r-rjixqe r-bcqeeo r-bnwqim r-qvutc0" dir="auto" id="tweet-text" lang="en" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;

has a secret. The former Florrie Gubbins, music hall dancer, is now Madame
Flowerdew, one of Londonâs most renowned spirit mediums. But itâs actually her
beloved Pomeranian dog, Chou-Chou, who can see the ghosts.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #0f1111; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">One of her most lucrative seances, for the
wealthy Petrie family whose daughter is about to marry a handsome young duke,
goes chaotically awry. The dukeâs late, and very irate, grandfather demands
Flora and his grandson Benedict find the long-missing family diamondsâeven the
search becomes littered with mayhem and murder! Can Flora discover the jewels
before she loses her career, her sanityâand her heart?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Sparks fly as Flora, Benedict, and Chou-Chou
pursue the truth of the diamondsâ disappearance in this lighthearted, cozy
historical mystery set in foggy, gas-lit London</span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></b><p></p><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Purchase Links <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

vast historical epic starring all her friends as the characters, written
secretly during algebra class (and her parents wondered why math was not her
strongest subject...)<o:p></o:p></span><p></p>

a variety of time periods--Regency, Victorian, Tudor, Renaissance, and 1920s)
have been nominated for many awards, including the RITA Award, the Romantic
Times BOOKReviews Reviewers' Choice Award, the Booksellers Best, the National
Readers Choice Award, and the Holt Medallion. She lives in New Mexico with her
lovely husband, along with far too many books and a spoiled rescue dog.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

She did that often given their propensity to vex her. </span></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">At least she could tell them apartâmost could not. Dahlia Davida bore a slight scar on her neck from when her sister had scratched her, and Diana Dorothea, who preferred to be called Danielle because the man she knew as her father was named Daniel, tended to hold her left hand in a fist as if she needed to punch someone. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âWhatever has you two arguing now?â Clarinda asked as her own fists went to her hips. She decided she needed to appear more determined. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">More battle-ready. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Girls were trouble.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Twin girls were double the trouble.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Dealing with double the trouble meant girding her loins.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Dahlia and Danielle turned to face her, immediately silenced upon seeing their motherâs stance. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âSomething important, Mother,â Dahlia replied. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âTerribly important,â Danielle agreed.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Clarinda blinked. Well, they apparently agreed on something. âOut with it.â</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âItâs about making love,â Dahlia stated.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âWhatâs involved, exactly,â Danielle added. âIâm quite sure I know, but Davy seems to think otherwise.â She directed a glare in Dahliaâs direction. âShe claims she read all about it in one of Fatherâs books.â</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âI didnât just read about it,â Dahlia argued. âI examined all the color plates. They were quite instructive.â</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Clarinda blinked. So much for battle. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Glancing toward the sideboard, Clarinda had a thought to pour herself a glass of brandy before she dared attempt to answer the girls. Instead, she motioned the twins to take seats near the fireplace and rang for tea.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Perhaps she would merely add some brandy after the maid brought the tea service.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âFirst, I must ask why youâre even discussing this,â Clarinda said as she moved to her favorite floral upholstered chair. âHas one of you accepted an offer of marriage without telling me?â</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">The twins shook their heads in unison. âIf lovemaking involves bending over a library table with my naked bum pressed against some manâs bare frontside, then I shall insist Father give me my dowry so I can go on a permanent holiday to Italy,â Danielle announced. âIâll have none of that.â</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Settling back into the velvet squabs, Anthony regarded Dahlia for a moment, now worried the ghost might have had a conversation or two with his mother. He sighed. âHe had a long talk with me, too, although he didnât mention the insipid miss.â</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âWhen was this?â she asked in alarm.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âHe left only a moment ago. Just... disappeared.â</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">She sighed. âHe does that.â</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âWell, he is a ghost,â Anthony remarked.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Her eyes once again rounded. âYou know that?â</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Wincing, Anthony nodded. âI probably should be petrified with fear, but I find the old coot rather interesting.â</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âOld coot?â she repeated in disbelief. âArenât you worried that heâll... heâllâ?â</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âHaunt me?â Anthony finished for her. âWhat do you think heâs been doing these past few days?â</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">It was Dahliaâs turn to wince. âIâm so sorry.â When she noted his furrowed brows, she added, âThis is all my fault.â She couldnât help the sob that accompanied her words. Sheâd been attempting to swallow it since stepping into the coach.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âMay I join you?â he asked as he nodded to the bench upon which she sat. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">She nodded and scooted over to give him room to sit next to her. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âWhy do you think that?â he asked, his arm resting on the squabs behind her shoulders so he could sit closer to her.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âI should never have looked at that damned book,â she whispered. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">He leaned over and kissed her on her temple. âNow I know youâre upset,â he whispered. âYou so rarely curse,â he added when she gave him a quelling glance. âI take it you are referring to the book about sexual congress?â</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Dahlia gasped. âDid my father tell you about that, too?â she whined as her face bloomed with color.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Chuckling, Anthony said, âActually, your sister did.â When he saw anger in her eyes, he added, âDonât be cross with her. Iâm glad she did. Otherwise, how would I know about your fear of the marriage bed? You certainly werenât going to inform me.â</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âIâm not supposed to know about such things,â Dahlia countered. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âBut now that you do know a thing or two, is that the real reason you donât wish to marry me?â</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âI never said I donât wish to marry you,â Dahlia countered. When she saw his look of confusion, she added, âI just didnât wish for us to have to ... negotiate.â</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Anthony straightened, deciding it best he not respond to the comment about negotiating, at least not yet. âWell, youâve certainly vexed your father,â he accused.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âGood, because heâs done nothing but make matters worse,â she complained on a huff.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">âCareful what you say, or he might haunt you for the rest of your life,â Anthony warned. </span></div></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibz3YP809chYRQQh2pfyrPd2IVt3e5tREnAwpOO1j_MQZMzuYKz6CIrIbcjN6PL23IVUQy6d4zJQT_ibgoR07fMEVHSagTWP0__8rdnHLl-fzlt1qLVexyiXDZ-jSFkeJc_xrq2OghJTjz78s9CgJ5nHnJqu8sB3ZA6EHruJY1mUcjYouX4ZadOS0hYw/s1050/7%20the%20honor%20of%20an%20heir%20teaser%201.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="1050" height="294" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibz3YP809chYRQQh2pfyrPd2IVt3e5tREnAwpOO1j_MQZMzuYKz6CIrIbcjN6PL23IVUQy6d4zJQT_ibgoR07fMEVHSagTWP0__8rdnHLl-fzlt1qLVexyiXDZ-jSFkeJc_xrq2OghJTjz78s9CgJ5nHnJqu8sB3ZA6EHruJY1mUcjYouX4ZadOS0hYw/w442-h294/7%20the%20honor%20of%20an%20heir%20teaser%201.png" width="442" /></a></span></div><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><a href="https://www.silverdaggertours.com/uploads/8/2/5/5/82557464/honorofanheir-about-the-author_orig.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="100" data-original-width="533" height="60" src="https://www.silverdaggertours.com/uploads/8/2/5/5/82557464/honorofanheir-about-the-author_orig.png" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><a href="https://www.silverdaggertours.com/uploads/8/2/5/5/82557464/linda-rae-sande-small-185x240_orig.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="185" height="240" src="https://www.silverdaggertours.com/uploads/8/2/5/5/82557464/linda-rae-sande-small-185x240_orig.jpg" width="185" /></a></span></div><p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">A

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="a-text-bold"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: #0f1111; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Temptation like never before for the fashion-loving
bluestocking when she meets an unconventional duke.</span></b></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: #0f1111; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br />
<br />
Headstrong <span class="a-text-bold"><b>Grace Bamford</b></span> is
determined to remain unwed and keep her independence. Which means interesting, marriageable
men are best avoided. Her classical studies and philanthropy are more important
to her than a husband and a lot safer.<br />
<br />
<span class="a-text-bold"><b>Angus Medley's </b></span>life is turned upside
down when he unexpectedly inherits a dukedom. He is wrenched from the career he
loves as an Edinburgh advocate to take up responsibility for the Duchy of
Evesham and the people relying on it for their livelihoods.<br />
<br />
Grace rescues Angus from a knife-wielding attacker outside the London orphanage
she helps to run. He dismisses the attack as a failed robbery but Grace
suspects foul play. Is someone from Angus's past trying to kill him? Grace
offers to help him investigate, concerned for his safety, even though it means
spending time with the most attractive man she has ever met.<br />
<br />
Marriage is the last thing on Angus's mind as he grapples with his new
responsibilities and his hidden enemy, until he falls in love with Grace. Will
Grace find the courage to follow her heart?<br />

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #0f1111; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Josie lives in the English midlands, surrounded by
towns full of history such as Evesham, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwick and
Worcester. Which is perhaps why her favourite reads are historical. Out of all
the periods to choose from the Regency Era stirs her imagination the most. The
true Regency lasted from 1811 until 1820 but dates as wide as 1789 to 1837 have
been included in the extended Regency period. For Josie the true flavour of
this period emerges after the iniquitous hair powder tax of 1795, unsurprisingly,
scuppered the fashion for hair powder almost overnight.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

combined efforts of her sister and eldest niece to set her on the path to
writing novels. Her Regency romances, with a dash of adventure and intrigue,
are the result.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

death of her cruel husband means freedom at last for Lucretia
Tiftonâuntil she learns that the guardian he chose for her
longed-for baby is the latest in a line of earls known for separating
their children from unfaithful wives. The elusive new earl is certain
to hear the gossip about Lucretia. Will he believe it and prove to be
as heartless as his ancestors?</span><br /><br /><span color="#">Giles,
the Earl of Netherbroke, wants nothing more than to work in his
London shop, building furniture with beautiful marquetry finishes. If
unexpectedly inheriting the earldom isnât bad enough, now heâs
saddled with an unwanted guardianship. Whatâs worse, the babyâs
mother is the loveliest woman heâs ever seen.</span><br /><br /><span color="#">Giles
is almost certain Lucretia is an adulteressâand the more he learns
about her, the more he understands why she might have betrayed her
husband. Nevertheless, he is determined not to succumb, like his
ancestors, to the Infidelity Curse.</span><br /><br /><span color="#">But
then Lucretia is suddenly in danger, and the only way to protect her
is to make her his.</span> </span>

is an elderly peer who lives in Gloucestershire,â Lucretia said. âSir Matthew
and the Earl of Netherbroke were enthusiastic medal collectors. They met once
at an auction and corresponded for a short while well over a year ago. Sir
Matthewâs passion for marquetry was due to the Earlâs influence. I suppose my
husband decided, judging by a brief acquaintance and some expensive furniture from
the shop the Earl recommended, that the Earl would make a suitable guardian.â
Fury swelled within her, but she strove to keep it from her voice. Surely a
doddering earl was better than horrid Mr. Welton.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: .5in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Mr.
Briggs nodded. âMost likely due to his position in society.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: .5in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">âSociety
be damned. My uncle feared for his life and the safety of his child.â Weltonâs
spittle flew. âHe knew his precious wife had cuckolded him over and over, and
then she tried to poison him with her noxious brews. What sort of mother would
she be?â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: .5in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Aghast,
Lucretia clapped a hand to her breast. âNo, no! I made him tisanes of healing
herbs.â Her voice trembled. âHe was ill. I tried to cure him!â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: .5in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">âHah!
You <i>would</i> claim that, wouldnât youâbut you donât deny that you cuckolded

Lucretia could gain control of her voice, he turned to Jellicoe, the valet.
âYou know all about this, donât you? Sir Matthew valued you. He confided in
you, didnât he?â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: .5in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">âYes,
sir, he did,â Jellicoe said. âHe believed Lady Tifton was trying to kill him.
He feared the consequences to the childâs immortal soul if it was left to its
motherâs care.â <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: .5in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Welton
shook his fist at Lucretia. âYou killed him because he was going to change his
will. No. More likely he had already changed it, using the services of a more competent
solicitor than this fellow. And then you burned it so no one would ever know.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: .5in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Lucretia
quailed, shaking her head. â<i>No</i>, thatâs not true.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Jocelyn Stafford desperately needs a husband to repair her tarnished
reputation. Her obvious choice is her neighbor James, a man who once
fancied her. If only she hadnât cruelly rejected his attentions
when she found herself wooed by a scandalous rake with a better
title.</span><br /><br /><span color="#">James
Margrave, Earl of Seaton, must have an heir to keep his estate from
falling into the hands of his cousin, which means he has to marry.
Lady Jocelyn, who still beguiles him, would be perfect if only he
could forget old slights. Instead, James asks Jocelyn to help him
find a suitable wife, a task she agrees to perform, hoping to redeem
herself in his eyes.</span><br /><br /><span color="#">When
a series of attacks put Jamesâs life in danger, an immediate
marriage becomes critical. Jocelyn is willing and available. But can
he trust a woman who once broke his heart and is it fair to wed her
when she might become the next victim?</span> </span>

Not at first. He stroked
her cheek with his knuckles, staring into her eyes as if he could discover all
her secrets there. His palm opened and moved down to the back of her neck,
raising goose bumps. When he traced the rise of her breasts above her neckline
with his forefingerâhis gaze never leaving hersâshe tingled all the way to her
toes.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";"> Parting her lips slightly, she inched so
close she imagined his mouth on hers, even though they werenât touching. When
his lips did settle over hers, she closed her eyes and pressed her body against
his. The hard ridge of his erection nudged her core, bringing a delicious ache
that swept over her until she was a maelstrom of need. She wanted his lips on
her face, her neck, her breasts. She wanted to feel his skin beneath her palms,
not the fabric of his coat.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";"> But they were in a formal receiving room
with the door open, fully clothed, close to a night footman stationed in the
hall.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";"> Footsteps echoed down the hall. They jumped
apart at the same time, and Jocelyn stifled nervous laughter behind her palm.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";"> James grinned. âI wonât say Iâm sorry. I
thoroughly enjoyed that kiss and look forward to more.â His eyes danced with
mischief. âBut not in such a public place.â<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";"> âAt least Roberts wasnât sitting in the
corner with her embroidery.â<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";"> He chuckled, enfolded her once again in his
arms, and rested his chin on the top of her head, as if reluctant to let her
go. âI am happy we arenât waiting until summer to be wed. I might try to
persuade you to anticipate the wedding night otherwise.â<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";"> She laughed against his shoulder, still
clinging to him. His observation did not make her blush. She was beyond
maidenly embarrassment. She wanted him. Her body was desperate for him. When
had she become so wanton?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";"> Reluctantly, she shifted back to gaze at
his face, not wanting to miss a single expression. âPerhaps you should consider
a special license.â<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";"> He tilted his head in amusement. âYour
mother will be disappointed because we are not going to have a big London
wedding. She would be devastated if our wedding was a simple service in front
of our vicar. As it is, the chapel at the castle is quite a comedown from St.
Georgeâs.â<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";"> âYouâre right. I suppose I shall have to
tamp down my ardor and comport myself with patience and dignity.â<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";"> Oh, if only she could.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: left;">

<p class="p" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">âLook,â she said softly, her elegant fingers touching the glass. âThe
fireworks are still burning, which means you have the final question.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">Smoke clung to the sky above Vauxhall. Within the fading cloud, embers
sparked, little stars flickering their last. Her offer was an act of kindness
so their meeting wouldnât end on rocky notes. Her gaze sought his. She was a
true artisan in the craft of humanity. Her flirtations, her laugh, her smiles
were all part of a woman of incredible depth.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">âYou tempt me in the best and worst of ways, Miss MacDonald.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">Of all the women to crave, heâd chosen herâa seductive Jacobite with a
worthy heart.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">âThe fireworks,â she whispered. âTheir light is fading.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">He consumed the shadow between her small breasts. Asking to see them
wouldnât do, not with the considerable respect his soul was building for this
woman. But he wantedâneededâsomething to sate his carnal nature.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">His gaze ascended to her silken collarbone and the pale skin covering it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">âYour shoulder,â he demanded gruffly. âI want to see it.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">Knowing glittered in hazel eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="p" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">The corners of her mouth curled up.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">âUncover it yourself.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p" style="line-height: 150%;"><span class="i"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">What a seductive taunt. </span></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">She could drive a man to his knees.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">His laugh was rough and primitive. âYou multiply my pleasure.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">Casual onlookers on the other side of King Street might see a man and a
woman framed by a window. Sharper eyes would say seduction was afoot, but the
keen observer would see the truthâa man surrendering to a woman.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">He touched the tiny well at the bottom of her neck. So light, so bare,
two reverent fingers, exploring.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">Miss MacDonald inhaled fast.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">The wispy sound struck sparks inside him. At least he wasnât alone in his
arousal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">Moonlight splashed her breastbone, a fascinating stretch between neck and
bodice. Potent. Enamoring. He dragged his fingers down her chest, and she

<span color="#"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">Gina's
fate was sealed when her mom read aloud the poem, <em>The
Highwayman</em>âthe perfect historical romance hook. But, Gina grew
up in California where no dukes or Vikings live. She always did
prefer stone castles over sand castles and books over beaches.<br /><br />Years
ago, she fell in love with her favorite hero, Brian, and they eloped
to Vegas at midnight. Together, they raised two sons who like history
almost as much as their mom.<br /><br />Nowadays, Gina pens sparkling
Georgian romance with a dash of Scots or Viking romance with heat and
adventure. When she's not writing, you can find her wandering a
museum or with her nose in a book. </span></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">âAh, Lord Stanton. Would you care for a
drink?â She held up the jug. âI donât think Iâve seen you touch a drop all
evening.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Her narrow nose drew his gaze down and he studied
her full, soft lips, which were a pretty petal-pink, although her smile looked
stiff and her voice was clipped.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">He gave her a brisk smile in return. âThank
you, but no. I am here out of duty, not pleasure.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Her gaze turned glacial, her face taut, and
he knew instantly that she liked his kind as much as he liked hers. Was she
just putting on a show for her brotherâs guests, as he was for his King?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">âAnd ale only serves to cloud the
judgement, donât you think?â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">âWell, we canât have that,â she mocked. âWe
all know your sound judgement is whatâs keeping us <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">all in check.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">His brow furrowed at her blatant
disrespect. He was used to being revered and well-regarded by the people of
Termarth. âYou must be referring to my judgement on the Crowe situationâmy wisdom
in demanding that you show mercy to a man already broken and on his kneesâŚâ
Clearly she was just looking for someone to blameâand he was it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">âWisdomâŚwas that what it was? Or
interference? Crowe killed my father, Lord Stanton. You took the side of my enemy
and denied me my revenge.â <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">He could detect the anger simmering beneath
her words, the fire in her personality, and it was igniting an unwanted spark
inside him.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Ash inclined his head slightly, as if to
acknowledge the weight of her claim. âI didnât know that at the time.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">âWould your actions have been different had
you known?â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">âProbably not. I donât believe in taking
the law into your own hands. What you did was reckless.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Her eyes flashed in the flickering
firelight. Svea was headstrong, she was impetuousâshe was everything heâd been
brought up to see as dangerous in a person. And judging by the way his lower
body was responding to hers, she was most certainly a danger to himâŚ<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">âIâd waited years⌠I think that was long
enough to consider my feelings on the matter.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">He sighed, but was careful to maintain his
steady tone. âI have had the man locked awayâa satisfactory outcome for us
both. Yet, if Iâm not mistaken, youâve avoided me each time weâve met since.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">She shrugged one slim defined shoulder,
unwittingly drawing his attention to the material of her dress stretching
across the generous swells of her breasts. âYou flatter yourself, Lord Stanton.
To ignore you would imply I am even aware of your presence.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">He clicked his jaw. He found her scorn
irritating, but her indifference was maddening. Her hand on her hip, she gave
him a challenging stare. His eyes dropped to her shoulder, where a dark,
intricate design swirled its way over her collarbone and behind her hair. She
had another dark symbol he didnât recognise etched into her wrist. He wanted to
tug her closer and inspect it, but he didnât dare touch her. Her whole
demeanour screamed for him to stay back.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">âSome people may find your status as the
Kingâs right-hand man something to be lauded, but others know itâs easy to make
it in this world with a father in high places,â she added.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">He forced a dismissive laugh, but her open
assault on his position in life took him aback. And he understood. She was
still angry. She wanted to lash out and hurt him, as he had hurt her in denying
her the chance to avenge her fatherâs death. But if only she knew the truthâŚ
How heâd had to fight to make it in this world, cast out of his parentsâ home
when he was just a boy, unwanted. And he still had a battle on his hands even
now, to keep his title and his inheritance. His pride.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">âAnyway, we are at my brotherâs wedding,
and unfortunately I have a duty to be gracious to all his guestsâyou included.
If you donât care for a drink, I shall have one for you. I suddenly feel in
need.â <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">She lifted a tankard from a nearby table
and proceeded to pour herself a cup of ale. Raising it up in the air, she made
a toast. âTo the happy couple. And <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I hope you enjoy the rest of your eveningâŚâ<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">âDoubtful. I have no interest in weddings.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">âWe are in agreement about that, at least.
Skol!â she said, before downing the tankard of ale in one go. Afterwards, as if
to disrespect him further, she drew her sleeve across her mouth, wiping the
tiny beads of moisture away.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">He stared at her, incredulous. He had never
known a beautiful woman try so hard to disguise her allure. It intrigued him.
âStill, you played and certainly looked the part today,â he said. He wanted to
rake his eyes over the soft, feminine curves of her body, but he was careful to
keep them trained on her face. He knew how important it was to treat a woman
with respect. âUp until a moment ago, I thought you looked lovely.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Her face darkened and she gave an
unladylike disdainful snort. He wished the words back the moment heâd uttered them,
knowing heâd made a mistake. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">She placed the empty tankard down on his
table. âYou seem to have a knack of imparting your opinion upon people who
donât want to hear it, Lord Stanton. And, as Iâve been sweating like a pig on
its way to the smokehouse all day, I think you should save your compliments for
the bride.â<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">by Lara Temple <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(Release 28 April 2022)<o:p></o:p></p>
<h2>Excerpt: 784 words<o:p></o:p></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This scene takes place after Lily convinces Marcus, Lord
Sherbourne to agree to release her sister from their engagement so she can
marry her childhood sweetheart. He agrees, but he has some conditions that Lily
is only too happy to fulfill⌠They will meet three times and share three
midsummer kisses. This is from their first meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âDo you often hold yourâŚyour meetings in the back room of a bookstore,
Lord Sherbourne?â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âNever. But I needed some placeâŚneutral where we wonât be
disturbed. And Iâm too old to collect the kisses Iâm owed in carriages.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">She laughed, that tumbling joyous sound that had caught his
attention from the beginning. He should have known he was in trouble when every
time she laughed he had to struggle to stop himself from searching for her face
in the crowd. And now he was not only free to look his fill, he was about to
taste as wellâŚ<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âCome. A toast. To midsummer madness.â He kept his voice
quiet and clean of triumph.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He handed her the glass carefully, trying to fight the surge
of heat that coursed through him as her grey eyes met his, her mouth still
curved in a tentative smile.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He looked away from her lips to the slight scars that
zigzagged up her jaw and ended near the lobe of her ear. He wanted to know how
they had happened, whether it had hurt, whatâŚ<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Not yet.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âI thought you were jesting,â she said. âAbout the kisses.
Punishing me a little.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âDid you? I rarely jest.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âYou always jest. It is a perfect façade.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">His smile widened against his will. âIâll amend my
statement. I rarely jest on matters of importance.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âAnd kisses are important?â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âOf course. What is more so?â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">She considered. âLoyalty? Duty?â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âImportant, but very dull. I have enough of those without
seeking them out.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âRumour indicates you have enough of the other. Without
seeking them out.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âRumour is wrong. I am far more discerning than you give me
credit for, Lily. Are you here only out of loyalty and duty? If so, tell me and
I shall return you to Brook Street, your debt repaid in full.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It was a risk and even as he said it he cursed himself, but
she merely shook her head.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âIt is not merely that.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He waited for her to add something, but she sipped her
brandy and looked about the room.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âWill we meet here for all three kisses?â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">His heart hitched and he set down his glass. Heâd never felt
so gauche in his life. Or if he had, he couldnât remember it. âTo be honest, I
havenât thought that far ahead. I didnât know if you would come. For all I knew
you might have accepted your victory and hared back to Birmingham.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The frown line appeared between her brows. âI would never
have done that. At least not without informing you. And I could hardly leave
Annie now. Not while the household is stillâŚseething.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Annie. Of course.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âWhy not? She has what she wanted. Freedom from the odious
attentions of the reprobate.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">She smiled and shook her head. âNonsense. In any case, I
didnât wish to leave. And I find it rather insulting you think I would go back
on my word.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âI didnât mean it in that way. Merely that you might have
changed your mind about the terms of our agreement. I meant what I said, Lily.
If at any point you do change your mind you tell me, yes?â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">âVery well. But I shanât.â<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Her voice was light and she looked younger, too, like a girl
on an excursion. She certainly didnât look like a sacrifice chained to a rock,
awaiting a dragon. His nerves slackened a little more and he gave in to
temptation and took her hand. Her fingers curved over his palm, settling so
naturally that for a moment he merely stood there, watching the tan-coloured
glove against his skin. Heâd wanted to kiss her but right now what he wanted
most in the world was to feel the soft slide of her palm shaping itself against
his, her fingers pressing between his, tightening as he moved towards herâŚ<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When she pulled her hand away his breath caught and he had
to stop himself from taking it back.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rules. Boundaries. He rarely had to remind himself, but he
rather thought today he would have to do quite a bit of that.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When she unfastened the button, he wasnât quite certain what
she was doing. It took him three buttons and two fingers to realise she was
pulling it off. Then she held out her hand once more and he took it. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tingling heat spread through him like fire in dry
hayâsnatching cell after cell, licking and burning its way along nerve ends,
deep into his muscles, making them stretch and ready as if he was about to
enter the boxing ringâor head into battle.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Absurd.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Undeniable.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He was on fire from holding this womanâs hand. A kiss from
her would likely incinerate him.<o:p></o:p></p></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimaMFc8sWrXBotghHvPw86g6J6vlBTGeAnSBA05bm1NAQjVckTs8Oti6268iQ8wQngKwwvqPYv_477m3pgliax08tFlCfz7-xJQukypJIz9d2q49Yxy3UGoITxNzd7mUr-snV44sZBIXfQaPqsk_fEC75Js5UHp-1nFj5JbFfzPDk3Ic-t22vTIKovYA/s1600/The%20Earl%20She%20Should%20Never%20Desire%20Lara%20Twiter%20Banner.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimaMFc8sWrXBotghHvPw86g6J6vlBTGeAnSBA05bm1NAQjVckTs8Oti6268iQ8wQngKwwvqPYv_477m3pgliax08tFlCfz7-xJQukypJIz9d2q49Yxy3UGoITxNzd7mUr-snV44sZBIXfQaPqsk_fEC75Js5UHp-1nFj5JbFfzPDk3Ic-t22vTIKovYA/w488-h274/The%20Earl%20She%20Should%20Never%20Desire%20Lara%20Twiter%20Banner.png" width="488" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRtDIq5r8hnOJdEhFlrCn_alSj_B_z3me2Eo4Iodd03KuBJMzSbAEudzksARLOjUjRv04NhMBYHLO1D4rzxKrjKI9DnF0hRB7JDJz6Yc1pgYlaiMQEATTb53q2rKKQ9rRi8A31wJCEOSzzLVgPmNux-gUaIlCW30V1ZsWh0QnLAr8YX1c7uy_ICDeUFQ/s576/c-about-the-author_25_orig.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="145" data-original-width="576" height="81" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRtDIq5r8hnOJdEhFlrCn_alSj_B_z3me2Eo4Iodd03KuBJMzSbAEudzksARLOjUjRv04NhMBYHLO1D4rzxKrjKI9DnF0hRB7JDJz6Yc1pgYlaiMQEATTb53q2rKKQ9rRi8A31wJCEOSzzLVgPmNux-gUaIlCW30V1ZsWh0QnLAr8YX1c7uy_ICDeUFQ/s320/c-about-the-author_25_orig.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAZ5xIeTRxjYX8yIlALFfMBdsGkk7be3L5j0SfWDDPJfRhR-2ceumskNWt1tqabMn9nrXMG9ft2K2iPQ6HUplBgutKMtaNlebbBtpF_wu0ypIyhr2eQTb59dwLfXMsa3Gx5wYmFvPOuXGK0ZHdgWtTLD8jdw279DYvmFwfE-dzhhCD7PS2TYG8aTCHQA/s756/The%20Earl%20Author%20Photo.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="756" data-original-width="756" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAZ5xIeTRxjYX8yIlALFfMBdsGkk7be3L5j0SfWDDPJfRhR-2ceumskNWt1tqabMn9nrXMG9ft2K2iPQ6HUplBgutKMtaNlebbBtpF_wu0ypIyhr2eQTb59dwLfXMsa3Gx5wYmFvPOuXGK0ZHdgWtTLD8jdw279DYvmFwfE-dzhhCD7PS2TYG8aTCHQA/s320/The%20Earl%20Author%20Photo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Author Bio <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

only remaining original member of The Rakes of St. Regentâs Park, Gideon
Broyles, the Duke of Watford, has grown weary of his debauched escapades. Due
to his wretched past, he often refers to himself as the Duke of Pain. He
selfishly breezed through life with no thought for anything or anyone. All that
changed when Gideon met Olivia Durham at an exclusive club. The passionate
encounter has him reeling, as he never experienced these powerful emotions
before.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Olivia also has a
dark past. Hiding behind a fictitious persona, she provides a particular
service to her clients. One that doesnât involve physical intimacy, for Olivia
cannot stand to be touched. In all her years at the club, no man has sparked
her interestâuntil Gideon. Despite trying to ignore the intense feelings
swirling between them, Olivia finds the darkly handsome duke hard to resist.
When secrets from her past come to light, the complications become
insurmountable. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">There are multiple obstacles to overcome,
including shared doubts about their capacity to feelâanything. For two
emotionally closed-off people to find and accept enduring happiness? Gideon and
Olivia must believe that love can conquer all.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">LINKS: </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" face="TwitterChirp, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.03);

god or a saint, gilded and unearthly beautiful, and her heart ached and yearned

at her.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

down next to her, her large straw hat concealing her face, her bracelets
jingling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>âThe sun does agree with you,
Rose dear! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You look very <i>content</i>.â</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Liberation Serif";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rose wondered
wryly if she often looked <i>dis</i>content these days, and she smiled and
wriggled her toes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>âI always feel happy
at Pryde.â</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Liberation Serif";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>âAnd you are
always most welcome here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I meant
what I saidâperhaps some time away could do you some good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I always feel invigorated by travel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The London Season is most wearying, to even
the most hardy souls among us, and city air is so unhealthy.â</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Liberation Serif";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>âI will certainly
consider it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I enjoy the
distractions of London.â<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And so she did;
at a party, the theater, a gallery, she had no time to think.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But travel was sounding more tempting all the
time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Liberation Serif";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>âYes, my dear,
do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I should not recommend Baden with
the royals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your sister is truly worthy,
of course, but it all sounds so <i>dull</i>.â</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Liberation Serif";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were silent
for a moment, listening to the breeze rustle through the trees like whispers,
the laughter of the others, the splash of oars in the waters of the lake
drifting lazily past.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Paul claimed
Beatrice for a game of boules, leaving Jamie alone.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Liberation Serif";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>âOh, Byson, why
donât you take your wife for a row on the lake?â Lady Madewell called.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>âIâm sure the water breezes would do her
good, itâs become such a warm day.â</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Liberation Serif";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rose, shocked by
Lady Madewellâs suggestion (had she turned to matchmaking like Lady Heath?),
glanced at Jamie, sure he would protest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After their kiss last night, the glory and regret, surely he would not
want to be alone with her in a tiny boat, adrift in the middle of the lake,
only the two of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What would they
say?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What would she <i>do</i>?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Grab him again?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Liberation Serif";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But he just
shrugged, and kept smiling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>âOf course,
I should enjoy that very much, if Rose agrees.â</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Liberation Serif";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>âI donât thinkâŚâ
Rose began.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She looked the lake, the
shiver of the breeze on the water, the couples laughing close together in the
boatsâŚ</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Liberation Serif";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She gasped at a sudden vision, a memory, of
another summerhouse, a kiss that led to desperate lovemaking against the
wall...</span><o:p></o:p></p><br /><p></p><p><br /></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Purchase Links â<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

â </b><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Amanda wrote her first romance at the age of sixteen--a vast
historical epic starring all her friends as the characters, written secretly
during algebra class (and her parents wondered why math was not her strongest
subject...)<o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> She's never since used
algebra, but her books have been nominated for many awards, including the RITA
Award, the Romantic Times BOOKReviews Reviewers' Choice Award, the Booksellers
Best, the National Readers Choice Award, and the Holt Medallion. She
lives in Santa Fe with a Poodle, a cat, a wonderful husband, and a very and far
too many books and royal memorabilia collections. </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> When not writing or reading,
she loves taking dance classes, collecting cheesy travel souvenirs, and
watching the Food Network--even though she doesn't cook. </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
