Compromised for Christmas by Jane Charles

Lady Elizabeth craved excitement and adventure. Unwilling to endure further boring Seasons, she convinces her uncle, who has lived a more adventurous life than anyone else she knew, to let her work for him.  A few short years later Elizabeth was established in Tuileries Castle, a servant in Napoleon’s court known as Lisette Renard.

John Phillip Trent has been working for the Home Office and in the stables of Tuileries as Jean Pierre Bouvier for the past two years. His only English contact being Lisette Renard, a lovely blond lass, who he desired but kept at a professional arm’s length.

When Lisette receives a summons to return home for Christmas, John learns that she is none other than the granddaughter of the Duke of Danby and she had named Jean Pierre as her husband, and the reason her grandfather believes she lives in France.  Their cover is compromised with the same letter and the two find themselves escaping the palace and France, knowing they could very well never see each other once in England.  

His Not So Sensible Miss

Emily Frasier has lived as the ward of Duke Ellings since her father died when she was fifteen. She also knows that soon it will be time to leave his household and make her way on her own.  When she discovers a cottage while visiting her aunt and uncle she knows this is where she wants to live and become a teacher, as her father once was.

Dillon Chambers must find a wife this season in order to please his mother.  If she didn’t have control over something more precious than his freedom and life, he would not have made the promise to marry a lady with high connections at the end of the season.  When he comes across Emily at his cottage and learns she is the ward of a duke, he feels his luck has finally changed. He could please his mother and settle with a lady he would actually want to have as his wife.

When the truth becomes known in London that Emily is only a professor’s daughter, Dillon knows his parents will never approve. Will he risk everything to have her?  Will Emily do the sensible thing or risk her reputation and heart so that Dillon doesn’t destroy all he holds dear?

Sacked (To Love a Governess Erotic Regency Short)

Sacked is the first in a series of Erotic Regency Shorts entitled To Love a Governess.

Elizabeth Claywell ran away from her uncle when he arranged a marriage with his sixty-year-old friend. She soon finds herself in the position of governess for Lord Jared Fairfield, who inherited five little girls along with the title.  Of all gentlemen she met in London, Lord Fairfield is the only one she has ever desired.

Jared has wanted Elizabeth since he first saw her in London two years ago, but only managed to secure two dances. When he stumbled across her on the street he offered the position of governess to get her into his home.  Now he intends to get her into his bed.

Announcing the Release of His Contrary Bride

His Contrary Bride is the second book in the A Gentleman's Guide to Once Upon a Time series

Sabrina Chester has been a servant at Lady Davies Academy for Young Ladies for the past four years.  Until her father’s death, which left her destitute, she had been one of the affluent students.  Sabrina is rescued from her plight by Marius Parker, who finds himself stranded in the last place he wishes to ever be.   Upon learning her identity, Marius is convinced treachery is afoot.  He is acquainted with the uncle and cousin of Lady Sabrina and both are wealthy, affluent gentlemen of society.  Marius couldn’t begin to understand why they had left Sabrina in this state of servitude.  When he discovers that her father hadn’t been a victim of war, but a victim of murder, Marius determines the only way he can keep Sabrina safe is to marry her.  Unfortunately, Sabrina doesn’t necessarily agree that this is the best option.

Announcing the Release of His Impetuous Debutante

His Impetuous Debutant is the first in the A Gentleman's Guide to Once Upon a Time series.

Lady Phoebe Johansen embarks upon her first season with two goals in mind – to remain unwed and scandal free in London.  It isn’t that she is against marriage and if her situation were different, she would welcome the opportunity for love and children. It is just not practical.  Unfortunately, her older brother is smothering any chances she has of actually enjoying the season out of fear her impetuous nature will land her in predicaments more ruinous than the physical mishaps she had suffered at home. 

Taylor Qualls, the Earl of Sandlin, is forced once again to face his own obligations this season.   He has a year and a half to find a suitable bride and produce the heir as dictated in his grandfather’s will.  Nobody needs to tell him that Lady Phoebe is the last woman on earth he should marry.  After all, given his own track record with wives and Lady Phoebe’s penchant for mishaps, she wouldn’t survive a month as his bride.
