Blurb for PROTECTING THE DUKE (The Rakes of St. Regent's Park #1)
The fact that women couldn’t join the London Metropolitan Police was an injustice to Eleanora Galway. She found her way around such an obstacle: by forming a detective agency. When a note arrives from a duke concerning a mysterious and gruesome delivery, Eleanora agrees to investigate.
Despite the pursuit of pleasures by The Rakes of St. Regent’s Park, weariness and boredom were setting in. Along with stark loneliness. No one felt this more than Christian Bamford, Duke of Allenby. Once the Galway Agency arrives, Christian is fascinated by Eleanora and her razor-sharp deductive mind and bold confidence. She attracts him as no other woman has done before.
When Christian proposes assisting her with her inquiries, Eleanora initially balks. But the temptation of being in the darkly handsome duke’s company is hard to resist. Swept up into an adventure and a passion neither had counted on, the blending of unlikely lives, occupations, and societal standing seems insurmountable. But for the independent Eleanora and the progressive-minded Christian, nothing is impossible. Not even love.
THE RAKES OF ST. REGENT'S PARK SERIES
In a
private meeting place, in an old bank office behind Colosseum Terrace on Albany
Street, a group of gentlemen attended a gathering. It had nothing to do
whatsoever with financing, investments, or stocks—unless you counted moral bankruptcy.
The central rules of this club: no serious attachments to anyone, and the pursuit of one’s own pleasures, especially of the carnal variety, were to be of
the utmost importance.
But
weariness and boredom were setting in. Along with something more worrying:
loneliness. A disquiet of the soul. These bad boy peers of Victorian London
were damaged, hiding their inner torture beneath a thin veneer of
devil-may-care dissoluteness.
It
takes an exceptional group of women to capture the hearts of such men. To see
past the outer shell. The ladies are determined to live and love in their own
way, with no relinquishment of their independence and no compromises. How
satisfying to find that deep down, these progressive men are in total
agreement.
Author's Note
This is an all-new historical romance set in 1897 Victorian London, and I will be folding in already published standalone historical romances into this series (revised, of course)
Here will be book 2
Book 3
Book 4 is a historical romance that I received the rights back to a few years ago. Also reworking/revising that. There may be more books in this series, but I'm not committing to anything for now.
Hoping to have these three books ready to go in the spring. I am working on my own schedule.
