Book News
Eagerly awaiting news from Dragonblade as to when Duke of Aces will go up on preorder. One of the wagers Lady Isadora and the Duke enter into is on a horse race. Did you know that horse racing as we know it, is said to have begun in the 18th Century? In 1776, the St. Leger, was England's first modern horse race followed by the Oaks in 1779 and then the Derby in 1780.
Did you enjoy this scene from Season 2 of the Bridgerton's?
I'm working on the last few chapters of King takes Queen, book 3 and the final book in the Ladies of Risk series. I say the last few, but Lady Minerva is rather enjoying having Anthony, Lord Drake on tenterhooks right now.

This month only I'm offering Secrets of Lady Lucy, book 1 of the Agents of the Home Office for FREE to my newsletter subscribers.
It’s never easy keeping secrets…
Only her desire to crush the Crown’s enemies could induce Lady Lucille Stanford to endure another Season. For years she has worked secretly for the Home Office, and she has come to London with one purpose: foil the attempted kidnapping of a highly valuable target, identity unknown. Inconveniently, Lord Harrington—Lucy’s brother and guardian—has other plans. He won’t be satisfied until she is at long last married.
He never forgets a face …
After years on the Continent, Blake Gower, Earl of Devonton, returns to England in need of a wife. He should not be surprised when his best friend Harrington’s sister recaptures his attention. But there’s more to the woman Lady Lucy has become than the delightful girl Blake remembers. When she takes an unexpected jaunt to the country during the height of the Season, Blake is determined to know why—and to discover all Lady Lucy’s secrets.
Unwilling to give up her patriotic mission for marriage, Lucy is conflicted when she meets the enigmatic Lord Devonton. She never expected to feel this way about a man again.
When the ransom demand comes due—will it be for Lady Lucy’s heart?
Secrets of Lady Lucy is the first book in the steamy Agents of the Home Office regency romance series. If you like unconventional heroines, hero’s with hidden talents and romance with a twist, then you’ll adore Rachel Ann Smith’s fast paced series opener.

Love against the odds
The Earl of Seahaven desperately wanted a son and heir but died leaving nine daughters and a fifth wife. Cruelly turned out by the new earl, they live hand-to-mouth in a small cottage.
The young dowager Countess’s one regret is that she cannot give Seahaven's dear girls a chance at happiness.
When a cousin offers the use of her townhouse in York during the season, the Countess rallies her stepdaughters.
They will pool their resources so that the youngest marriageable daughters might make successful matches, thereby saving them all.
So start their adventures in York, amid a whirl of balls, lectures, and al fresco picnics. Is it possible each of them might find love by the time the York horse races bring the season to a close?
A battle over one house leads two hearts to their forever home.
Melinda Havilard, Countess of Bellevue, is finally a free woman after her wastrel husband does the decent thing and dies in a carriage accident, albeit found in a compromising position with his madam mistress. The newly minted widow may be swathed in scandal but at least she will finally gain back her family home.
After scrimping and working for years, Jack Smith, aka the notorious crime lord Seven Dials Jack, is this close to owning the city’s premiere pleasure house. There’s only one intriguing and beautiful woman standing in his way.
The battle begins and the sparks fly, but when Jack’s business partner turns up dead at the hands of a high society member with ties to Melinda’s deceased husband, the two are thrust together to investigate a murder with more twists and turns than a London back alley at midnight.
Add in a brassy aunt, two educated young ladies, a pug and a peg leg for a humorous and romantic adventure set in the Regency era.
Lady Grace Ravensdale is the darling of London society — beautiful, gracious, and a celebrated piano prodigy. It’s no surprise that when she becomes engaged to a handsome concert violinist, it promises to be the wedding of the season. But Grace harbors a dark secret that she shares only with the keys of her piano — she’s in love with the gardener’s son. And after years of believing he died in the Boer War, Teddy has returned.
Theodore Nash grew up at Burton Hall in the shadow of the wild Ravensdales, loving Grace from afar until that one blissful summer long ago. But nothing would ever change the fact that he's the gardener's son and she's a beloved London socialite. Theodore didn't expect a hero's welcome after returning from war anymore than he expected to hear of Grace's engagement. Now he must decide to fight for her, or give her up for good.
With all of society against them...can their love survive?
Publisher's Note: THE LADY'S FORBIDDEN DESIRE is inspired by Secret Garden. It's a sexy slow burn, second chance romance between childhood sweethearts.
Until next time...Happy Reading!
