Once Upon a Widow 7-9
Dashing and delectable earls, stubborn but stunning ladies, and destiny with a sense of humor? Three sweet award-winning Regency romances with noble heroes and strong heroines that will whisk you back to another time. Humor, angst, and passion combine to treat readers to a trio of sweeping love stories from the glittering ballrooms of London to the bustling streets of Glasgow.
Beware A Wallflower’ Wrath
Annis Craigg gave her heart—and innocence—away at seventeen. Fifteen years later, the rogue returns begging forgiveness. But the secrets she holds could upend the lives of both her son and the Englishman she’s never forgotten.
After years of an unhappy and childless marriage, Lord Robert Harding’s wife dies. He soon heads for Scotland as a free man, hoping to learn the fate of the only woman he’s ever loved.
Lies, secrets, and betrayal will challenge the fierce love of a steadfast Highlander and remorseful but determined Englishman. Will destiny find a way to bring two star-crossed souls together?
A Wallflower’s Wassail Punch
Lady Annette’s first Season was a disaster after a duke’s son pinched her by the punchbowl, and she walloped him in the nose. And broke it. After five years, she has yet to live down the scandal.
Lord Wilkinson has been a widow for twenty years, his daughter is finally betrothed, and he is ready to take another wife. At a country party, the viscount discovers a striking, intelligent woman, with a dry wit only he seems to appreciate.
When the two become allies, their partnership soon goes beyond friendship. But will Lady Annette’s age and the viscount’s interfering daughter keep them from a happy ending under the mistletoe?
The Scoundrel’s Christmas Challenge
A contest to win her fortune…
Lady Winfield, a wealthy widow of six years, is infamous for her outrageous house parties. This year, she will accept the proposal of the man who can best her at three or more competitions by Twelfth Night.
A contest to win her heart…
Lucius, Viscount Bolingbroke has held a torch for the countess since his university days. Determined not to waste this second chance at love, he presents the audacious Lady Winfield with a secret challenge that she can’t resist.
Will their midnight rendezvous and private contests end in certain victory for one or a dual attraction for both?
