Happy February!

I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day—whether you celebrated or not!

As I hinted in my last email, I have a special Valentine’s surprise for you…

It’s the cover reveal of my upcoming book! 🎉

Yes, I’ve been working on a brand-new series, and it’s coming very soon! The first book is already on pre-order, and you—my cherished readers—get to see the cover before anyone else! It’s not even on Amazon yet!

Take a peek below and let me know what you think! I’d love to hear your first impressions. ❤️

Lady Lydia Lawless is a thief. Her family fortune? A lie. To start a new, honest life, she needs to steal one last thing—a family heirloom from a charming viscount.

There’s just one problem.

The viscount is a man from her past. And to steal the jewel… she’ll have to get him naked.

Viscount Arthur Thornton has many regrets. Letting go of his first love is the greatest. Now, fate gives him a second chance… But if he claims it, he risks losing everything.

Including life as he knows it.

Pre-Order!

And while we’re talking about surprises, here’s another one:

Book 5 of the Rake Review series is FREE for a limited time! Have a Fine Valentine’s May!—I mean... day!

One Fine May…

Furious that his son was featured in the notorious Rake Review column, Evander Beauclerk’s stickler father issues an ultimatum: give up his dissolute ways and marry a respectable woman by the end of the month, or the family fortune will go to his dimwitted cousin. Vander knows plenty of courtesans and opera dancers, but only one respectable woman, and that’s his best friend’s little sister, Lady Leticia Daughtrey. Desperate, he asks Letty to help him find a suitable bride.

He'll look and see…

For one heartbreaking moment, Letty thought Vander was asking her to marry him. The notion isn’t so far-fetched—after two men issued competing proposals in the middle of a crowded ballroom, the bachelors of London have developed a newfound appreciation for the girl they’d always taken for granted.

And he will know their love was meant to be…

Now, not only does Letty have to figure out which of her own suitors to marry, she’s tasked with finding a bride for the man she’s pined after for years. But Letty isn’t going down without a fight. If she’s going to help Vander, he can bloody well help her, too. And how can she choose which man should share her bed for the rest of her life if she’s never even had a proper kiss? Letty and Vander’s tutorials quickly go from illustratory to incendiary. Which is just how Letty wants it. Because…

One Fine May, he’s gonna want her for his girl!

FREE!

Have you read my installment from the Rake Review series? Mad Duke March can be read any month of the year!

Whisky. Plenty of it. Keep it coming…

That’s all that Alexander Blackwood, the notorious “Mad Duke” of London, desires. Determined to waste his life away, he manages to offend even his closest friends. But when he carelessly ruins Miss Emily Fitzwilliam while in a drunken stupor, he finds himself chained to the only woman in England who refuses to fear or fawn over him.

It was the best day of her life… Until it wasn’t.

Emily Fitzwilliam loses everything when she is scandalously ruined by the most notorious rake London has ever known. And worst of all, the bounder refuses to marry her! But the wicked Duke who destroyed her life is about to discover that payback is hell.

A hasty marriage neither party wanted is about to become a passionate battle of wills as two warring hearts are destined to become one flesh… whether they like it or not.

Read in KU!

Now is the time when I usually recommend books in the historical romance genre—often stories written by my friends.

But today, I’m making a tiny exception.

Many of you know one of my dearest author friends, Fenna Edgewood, who has recently started writing romantic fantasy under the pen name Briar Boleyn.

Well, Briar (or Fenna!) has a dear friend, Zoë, who is battling stage 4 cancer. The diagnosis came suddenly, and Zoë’s children have put their jobs on hold to care for their mother, doing everything they can to support her.

When a friend is in need, a village comes together to lend a helping hand. As authors, we decided to unite our stories and create a fundraiser anthology. Since romantic fantasy is Fenna’s new genre, this anthology features fantasy and paranormal romance stories.

I’ve contributed a hot and funny short story about a shifter goose—yes, you read that right! 😄

If you’re in the mood for something quirky and want to help a family in need, please consider:

💖 Pre-ordering the anthology

💖 Sharing this anthology to spread the word

Every purchase and share means the world.

Pre-Order!

A little fun fact about my connection to Zoë’s family:

One of Zoë’s children, Mel, has Lupus—the same condition that Helen, the heroine of Seducing Her Wicked Rogue, battles.

Mel played a vital role in my research for the book, generously sharing their experience to help me portray Helen’s struggles with authenticity and care. Their insight made the story so much more special—and realistic.

Wishing you and your loved ones health, strength, and resilience.

Cheers,

Sadie
