The Shackleford Legacies are a delightful dance of romance, humour, mystery and fun. .. As the eldest daughter of the Earl of Cottesmore, Lady Mercedes Stanhope didn't expect to be still without a husband at the start of her third season. And neither did she expect to be the target of a kidnapping attempt on her journey home from Scotland. But most of all, she didn't expect to experience such an emotional connection to the man who came to her rescue…. Horrifically scarred after a bayonet wound nearly cost him his life, Nathaniel Harding lived for fifteen years in the shadows. He didn't expect to be cast into the role of hero in the attempted kidnap of a young gentlewoman. And neither did he expect to be offered the role of her protector to prevent it happening again. But most of all, he didn't expect feelings he’d long believed dead and buried to come bubbling to the surface with her unexpected intrusion into his life…. When Mercy and Nate are thrown together to help defeat the kidnapper, neither of them expected to be facing their deepest, darkest fears in confronting the very essence of evil. But most of all, neither expected that love might be found in the midst of such darkness…. And then, of course, the one thing that no one expected, was the crucial role Reverend Augustus Shackleford would end up playing in the whole proceedings…. Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humour and a little bit of steam. Praise for the Shackleford Sisters:. “I’m coming to the end of Book 9 and don’t know what I’m going to do without the Shackleford family in my life. Without doubt the best books I’ve ever read. ”. “The Shackleford Sisters series is an absolute gem in the realm of historical romance”. “I laughed, I cried, and didn’t want them to finish. ”. “My absolute favourite series. ”. “This series is not only romantic but truly hilarious. So much fun. ”. “A delightful dance of humour mystery and fun. ”. less

The Shackleford Legacies are a delightful dance of romance, humour, mystery and fun. .. Lady Roseanna Atwood was not looking forward to the annual weekend garden party at Blackmore. Oh, she was looking forward to seeing her extended family, but the thought of spending four whole days making polite conversation with a group of condescending, arrogant coxcombs was not in the least appealing. Of course, she hadn’t anticipated being caught in the middle of a political disaster, not to mention a long-standing conspiracy. Neither had she bargained on being called upon to help her grandfather keep a secret Jacobite supporter from potentially causing another Culloden. Rescued from Napoleon’s Bastille of the Seas at the tender age of eight, Tristan Bernart had grown to adulthood trusting no one but the one man who taught him how to survive and eventually prosper beyond his wildest dreams. But when a chance encounter over twenty years later forced him to relive the nightmare months during which he nearly starved to death in a filthy prison cell, Tristan recognised that only by extending his trust would he finally get retribution. However, working under cover with the Duke of Blackmore and his unorthodox family, was not for the fainthearted, and the last thing Tristan expected was to end up trying to protect a chit barely out of the school room, whose habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time had put her in the path of men for whom murder was simply a daily distraction. But no one ever said the path of true love ran smoothly…Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humour and a little bit of steam.

King William IV's most dangerous intelligence agent is everything Henrietta shouldn't want - ruthless, secretive, and devastatingly handsome. But when a conspiracy to assassinate the King erupts at the Duke of Blackmore's garden party, Henri finds herself drawn into Raphael's shadowy world—and into his arms. Raphael knows better than to let anyone close. His life is built on secrets and solitude. The last thing he needs is a country miss with hazel eyes and a talent for asking questions he can't answer.
