When a devil-may-care rake rescues a frosty young widow from highwaymen, their lives become deliciously entangled.

Decimus Pryor is one of London’s most notable rakes. He saunters through life, trysting with young widows and making people laugh. But rumors have spread that his skills in the bedroom are overrated. The young widows are laughing 

at

 him, not with him, and slamming shut the doors to their boudoirs.

Eloïse Fortrose, widow of the late Viscount Fortrose, has always spurned Decimus’s advances, but when he rescues her from highwaymen, she discovers that there’s a lot more to this Casanova than meets the eye.

What better way to heat up the chilly autumn nights than to indulge in a brief liaison? They’ll frolic between the sheets, laugh a little, restore Decimus’s standing as a rake, then go their separate ways.

Eloïse doesn’t believe in love and neither does Decimus . . . but love is coming for them both, whether they want it to or not.

This Regency romance contains one dashing rake, one beautiful young widow, three hapless highwaymen, a master of disguise, and a sprinkling of magic.

 

Length: Full-length novel of 77 000 words

Sensuality level: A Regency romance with steamy love scenes

 

Q & A with the author

How would you describe this series?

It's Regency England with passion, adventure, humor, romance—and a dash of magic. 

Hang on. Did you say magic?

I did. But don't worry—the books are first and foremost historical romances. Only a few characters have magic, and it’s a deep, dark secret, and no one else knows.

But … do magic and Regency England go together?

Definitely! Many years ago I read 

Sorcery and Cecelia (or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot) 

by Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevermer, and totally loved it. Ever since then I’ve thought that Regency England and magic go very well together.

How would you describe your writing?

Several reviewers have likened my writing to Georgette Heyer, which is the hugest compliment ever. I adore Georgette Heyer! She’s why I write historical romance, and I reread her books over and over. (If you’ve not read 

The Grand Sophy, 

please do so!) I’ve also had readers compare my writing to Courtney Milan and Mary Balogh, which are also massive compliments.

What order should I read the series in?

Each book, whether a novel or novella, can be read as a standalone, but many readers prefer to read them in order. And although the series is set in Regency England, a quartet of medieval novellas form the prequel.

The ideal reading order would be:

The Fey Quartet (series prequel)

Maythorn’s Wish 

Hazel’s Promise

Ivy’s Choice

Larkspur’s Quest

 

The Baleful Godmother: Original Series

Unmasking Miss Appleby

Resisting Miss Merryweather

Trusting Miss Trentham

Claiming Mister Kemp

Ruining Miss Wrotham

Discovering Miss Dalrymple

 

The Baleful Godmother: Garland Cousins Series

Primrose and the Dreadful Duke

Violet and the Bow Street Runner

 

The Baleful Godmother: Pryor Cousins Series

Octavius and the Perfect Governess

Decimus and the Wary Widow

 

Happy reading!
