Clandestine Countess

No Titled Lady

She needs a man's help to protect her secret identity. She doesn't need to fall in love. Can he help without drawing her into his own tangled web? London inventor Mr. Cullen is actually Miss Cassandra Cullen, happy hiding behind her letters. When some new customers want to meet face to face, she has to trust Dr. Burke, her favorite correspondent, to help keep her secrets. Trusting Oliver Burke might not be entirely wise. Dr. Burke occupies himself with women and gin, trying to forget his soul-crushing family and the nightmares of the war. He'd rather distance himself from polite society as much as possible. One too many indiscretions, and Cass' father insists: Marry. Now. Nothing less than an earl will do. He doesn't realize his mostly deaf daughter will turn for help to the one man she thinks she knows. Can a woman who's given up on love and a man who's given up on hope find a future together? The Countess Invention is about two people who have to believe in each other to find dizzying pleasure, devastating heartbreak... and forever love. It's a historical Regency romance novel with steamy moments and sweet ones, of about 350 pages.It includes an admittedly bad attempt at cross-dressing and a woman who believes in pockets. It also includes a beautiful man who has made love to too many ladies and a Happily Ever After! The Countess Invention is a standalone book! but if you enjoyed it, check out Not Like a Lady, the Grantleys' story, or follow it with the story of Cass' cousin in What a Duchess Does.

The Countess Invention

Letty’s lost everything but one friend, and her horse. She desperately needs to convince the fierce baronet to buy any horse but hers. Now she's causing her own problems, because she cannot stop touching a man she'd been prepared to hate. The only way Sir Michael Grantley knows how to be the baronet of Roseford is to do what his father did. But he's not his father, he's a salty ex-sailor who lost half a leg in the war and has a far worse temper than his father ever did. He's desperate to get outdoors again - but for that he needs a biddable horse he can ride. He's not prepared for the horse to come with a woman who wants her own life... and who decides that the key to her future is helping him ride again. Letty has never been anything even close to a lady. Sir Michael imagines that the lady of Roseford Manor will be calm and elegant like his mother. Neither of them can resist the one person they ought to refuse. A sensual, engrossing, enchanting romance between two people who can't keep their hands off one another. Not Like a Lady is a historical regency romance novel with steamy moments and sweet ones, of about 300 pages. It includes a woman with a knack for saying what she thinks and no talent for needlework, a gallant if grumpy baronet, no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a Happily Ever After! Not Like a Lady is a standalone story! but Letty and Michael return in Cass and Oliver's story, The Countess Invention, Book 2 of Lords and Undefeated Ladies.

Dudes in Distress

The four Misses Bickering are too stubborn to marry unless it's for love. They have just enough money to rent a bakery in Leicester Square, where bohemian earls rub elbows with ladies of the night and all manner of people in between. To earn a living, they have to stick together - and as their name implies, that isn't easy! Ladies' Own Bakery is a Regency romance comedy serial. It follows the lives of four sisters on the edge of gentility and about to fall off. Together - well, mostly together - they decide to open a bakery in London's Leicester Square in 1813. Ladies' Own Bakery follows the ups and downs in love and money for four very different sisters in Regency Britain. Released as episodes for my readers, this volume is the collected edition of all the episodes of season one, now on sale.

What a Duchess Does

By day, Lady Donnatella is a duke's silly daughter. So she can save London lives by night. When she stumbles into something larger than a street fight, everything she's balancing may come crashing down... It's another lonely season for Tella, dancing and gaming madly while keeping marriage away. She cannot tell her family or friends that her true self is the one battling danger in the city's dark streets. Nor will anyone guess; she's perfected her disguise. Then her night-time alter ego is seen - just when she can no longer count on her best friend, or her beloved great-uncle. And the resulting fuss in the newspapers isn't making any of this easier. Nor is the reporter who saw her. Henry Fitzwilliam, third son of a marquess, left London society to serve in the wars, and won't go back. He's devoted his life to telling the stories Britain needs to hear, and perhaps this Caped Count falls into that category. He can't be sure until he gets much, much closer. Tella can handle a fight, but tracking a murderer is higher stakes. She might need someone at her back. Fitz might be the worst choice - or he might be more perfect than either of them suspects. A new kind of Regency romance, full of action, adventure, and forever love
