PRE-ORDER! The Detective and the Baroness (The Duke's Bastards #1) by Karyn Gerrard #Historical

 

Coming February 26th!

Detective Sergeant Mitchell Simpson’s only purpose is his job with London’s Metropolitan Police. But when he’s seriously injured in the line of duty, he has no idea what to do. So, when he’s offered a private investigation to work on while he recovers, he jumps at it. The problem? His client is the baroness who nursed him back to health…and stole his heart while doing it. And worse, she’s newly married…

After tirelessly working as a nurse for a decade, Lady Corrine Addington entered an arranged marriage to save her family from financial ruin. But it’s not long before she realizes her estranged husband is up to something, so she hires Mitchell to follow him. But even she realizes that she enjoys Mitchell’s company a little too much. Then a murderous turn of events changes everything…

Suddenly a widow, Corrine is free to follow her heart. But Mitchell has figured out what the baron’s murderer was looking for, and fears that Corrine will be the killer’s next target. While Mitchell desperately wants to make her his, it’s more important that he keep her safe, even if it kills him. And it might…

The Duke’s Bastards—Sired by a dissolute duke, saved by the women who love them.

Liam Hallahan, illegitimate son of a disreputable duke, carries inner scars from his childhood living on the streets. With sheer determination, he picked himself off the cobbles, acquired an education, and worked his way up to be the owner of a gaming hall. But Liam has other ambitions. Working diligently at transforming his infamous business into a respectable restaurant, Liam never expected to have a widowed Countess unceremoniously dumped on his doorstep.

 

Men have ruled Celia Gillingham’s life for as long as she could remember. Orphaned at a young age, her uncle sent her away to school until he negotiated a marriage with an older earl. Now alone and penniless, Celia’s viscount cousin drops her at an East End business, claiming she will work off a family debt. Determined to stand on her own two feet, she asks Liam for a job. Reluctantly, he puts the countess to work in his kitchen.

 

The unlikely duo soon find growing common respect and a simmering passion for not only cooking but for each other. Celia’s loathsome uncle and cousin will not stop meddling in her life. As danger nears, desire ignites, and Celia and Liam will do anything to stay in each other’s arms

BLURB: (unofficial)

Detective Sergeant Mitchell Simpson of London’s Metropolitan Police, the illegitimate son of a notorious duke, forms a club with a recently discovered half-brother. They call themselves The Duke’s Bastards and are determined to find other siblings and assist where possible. Seriously injured in the line of duty and on leave while he recovers, Mitchell takes on private investigative cases. How surprising to find his first client is the recently married baroness that had previously caught his eye—and nursed him back to health. 

Tirelessly working as a nurse for a decade, Lady Corrine Addington entered an arranged marriage to save her family from financial ruin. But the baron did not keep up his end of the bargain. She hires Mitchell to follow her estranged husband, but a murderous turn of events changes everything, including admitting her desire for the handsome detective—for he is hard to resist.

 They find themselves in a dangerous situation with a villain Mitchell has tangled with before. Now a widow, Corrine is free to follow her heart. Will they embrace their growing passion, or will the intensifying peril cause fate to take a hand?

BLURB

Oliver Wollstonecraft, Viscount Tensbridge, and recent member of The Rakes of St. Regent’s Park, has a secret: he leads a double life. He sits on a progressive parliamentary committee by day, crafting laws to benefit the less fortunate. But by night, Oliver tests those values, acting as The Sentinel, a masked protector of the underprivileged. Nothing shakes his stoic resolve until he comes to the aid of a bold and fiery woman who turns out to be a lady detective. She awakens emotions Oliver believed were well hidden.

 

Claudia Ellingford has secrets of her own. The illegitimate daughter of a villainous duke, she spent the past ten years surviving on the streets. Recently hired by The Galway Investigative Agency, Claudia relishes her exciting new occupation. But nothing prepared her for seeing a masked man lurking in the shadows and patrolling the alleys of a notorious section of London. What is more shocking is that the stuffy viscount who hired her is the vigilante that stirred her dormant desire.

 

Claudia and Oliver become swept up into a perilous situation, with a vicious criminal determined to discover The Sentinel’s true identity. But what is also in danger is their hearts, facing their doubts, and finding a path to lasting happiness.

The Ravenswood Chronicles Will No Longer be Available Soon #Historical #Paranormal @KarynGerrard @ERomNews

 

Published in 2016 and 2017, this Frankenstein Sci-Fi, paranormal, historical romance mash-up 2 book series sold few copies. A senior editor at Kensington Publishing/Lyrical Press really liked it, so I was offered more contracts. 

However, enough time has elapsed, and I have no plans to pursue further contracts with the publishing company, so why keep my books there? I already got back the rights to The Hornsby Brothers and republished them myself. So, I have formally asked for the rights back to these two books. Will I republish? Not at this time. It will be 60 days or so until they are taken down.

That leaves one series (three books) with Kensington: The Men of Wollstonecraft Hall. When convenient, I will also ask for those rights back. I will republish this series.

Regarding other writing, I signed contracts with another publisher (!) and am writing those books. Look for The Duke's Bastards (a three-book series) in 2025.

Honestly, I see a light at the end of the tunnel. I have been doing this since 2011 and have enjoyed the writing (not so much the other aspects of publishing). I can only see myself doing this a little while longer, or if I do it for a while yet, it will be sporadic and at my leisure. But who knows?

If so inclined, find Beloved Monster and Beloved Beast HERE at Amazon.

Cheers!
