And why can't she breathe? less

This is a sequel to "An Apple Pie for a Duke" Here we are, back again, for another jolly ride through Ruby's delicious Regency world. This time, Flora Parker is the star of the episode. Hardly can she know what awaits her when she joins Eugenia and Dominic St. Yves on their trip to Italy. Not only do they receive a rather knee-break visit by the notorious Lords Lackerby and Darlington (a fact which causes turmoil in the heart of some of the castle residents) but then there is this impossibly handsome Italian Prince who lives just across the lake from the Surrey's Italian castle and who happens to be the Duke's unloved cousin! Only one thing is sure: There will be blood! And Mr. Wimple. If you enjoyed "An Apple Pie for a Duke", this novelette is the thing for you. Otherwise it can be strongly doubted. General Information: "Red Wine For Miss Parker" is a novelette of approx. 20.000 words/100 mass paperback pages. Ms. Royce does not attempt to be historically acurate and prefers to leave those works to the authors who lived in the respective times. Level of intimacy: Spicy! less

Lady Clara St.Yves and James Crawford, the Earl of Darlington are about to be married. They have been terribly in love with one another for ages, but are unfortunately unaware of the other party's feelings. That problem should resolve itself rather quickly, one might suspect, if it was not for the tiny inconvenience of James's secret occupation as a spy for the crown... and while Clara is getting hysterical over the upcoming nuptials, James has a far more pressing problem... moreLady Clara St.Yves and James Crawford, the Earl of Darlington are about to be married. They have been terribly in love with one another for ages, but are unfortunately unaware of the other party's feelings. That problem should resolve itself rather quickly, one might suspect, if it was not for the tiny inconvenience of James's secret occupation as a spy for the crown... and while Clara is getting hysterical over the upcoming nuptials, James has a far more pressing problem. His target - who also happens to be his lover - the stunningly beautiful suspected terrorist and smuggler Baronessa Natasha Osipova is on her way to London and eager to find herself in Lord Darlington's bed. To make matters worse, the Cartwrights have their fingers in the pie and so do Prince Francis and Princess Flora of Lombardy. Plus: Lackerby, Mr. Wimple, a super-handsome ex-pirate gone Marquis and a very nifty red-headed Miss. less

Here comes Nell's story. As the well informed reader may remember (if not, we may refer you to "Two Pistols for Clara"), Nell Barnham has been abducted by the malignant Marquis of Malincourt. This occurred much to her delight. Malincourt tries his best to behave most gentlemanly towards his hostage, not having at all planned to return to his wicked ways of yonder, but Nell will have none of it. What is a man to do?

As the well informed reader may remember (if not, we may refer you to "Two Pistols for Clara"), Nell Barnham has been abducted by the malignant Marquis of Malincourt. This occurred much to her delight. Malincourt tries his best to behave most gentlemanly towards his hostage, not having at all planned to return to his wicked ways of yonder, but Nell will have none of it. What is a man to do? Mr. Wimple, and some minor characters such as General Cartwright and the Earl of Darlington are in hot pursuit of the escapees. Well, rather.. or perhaps, not so much. Have a good ol' time! less
