Love caught him completely off guard and forced him to question
everything…

When Brody Evans, Duke of Corwin, goes incognito at a printing press, he
doesn’t anticipate meeting Mr. Michaels, a charming young man with
whom he shares an instant connection. Soon he’s questioning everything
he believed to be true of himself, while losing his heart in the process.
Accepting the way he feels is not only hard, it’s also illegal and
downright dangerous. Until he learns the truth and is forced to wonder
whether or not the person he fell for is real, or just an illusion.

Dressed as a boy, Harriet Michaels acquires a job at a printing press so
she can support herself and her younger sister. It seems like a good idea
until she meets Mr. Evans, the new assistant editor. Her attraction toward
him cannot be denied, but it must be concealed if she’s to avoid
detection and the risk of losing her job. The more time she spends with him,
however, the closer she comes to heartache and ruin. For as it turns out,
Mr. Evans is not who he claims to be either.

The Art of Love, Book 1

Regency Romance

Date Published: 06-14-2023

A marquess with an inheritance problem.

When his father dies, Raph Bromley, new Marquess of Waneborough inherits
more than his father’s title. He inherits a crumbling estate, an ocean
of debt, a valuable art collection, and a most unusual stipulation in his
father’s will. No piece in the art collection can be sold unless Raph
first creates a brilliant work of art. But his imagination is as nonexistent
as his artistic experience, and that’s never going to happen.

Thank goodness for heiresses. Raph will simply marry for money. Problem
solved. Except his mother’s new companion, a dark-haired, clever, poor
beauty tests his resolve and makes him think …

Maybe painting won’t be so hard.

(It is…)

A companion with no home of her own.

Matilda Bellvue has worked as a companion for fifteen years, but
she’s inherited a cottage in Cumbria, and she’ll soon make it
her home. She plans to spend her days reading scandalous novels and
redecorating every room. But first, she must complete one final job, serving
as companion to the Marquess of Waneborough’s mother.

Her task is simple: help the grieving marchioness, argue with the
hard-headed marquess, avoid matchmakers, and resist spying on naked men
swimming in the lake. Above all else, she must not fall in love with her
employer, a man who makes her feel like she’s finally found home.

Because she has no money. And he must marry rich. And that way only lies
heartache.

Funny, sweet, and definitely steamy, book 1 in the Art of Love series is a
late Regency romance that’s as lighthearted as it is hot!
