Lancelot Nowlton, Viscount Lakehurst, writes gothic novels.

The widow Lady Cassandra Tidemark, Marchioness of Darkford, is living a gothic nightmare.

The young marchioness is haunted by nightmarish visions of a past she can't escape. The memory of her husband's death, shrouded in a ritualistic mystery reminiscent of Sir Francis Dashwood's notorious Hell Fire club, casts a chilling pall over her life.

By chance, Cassandra reads a bestselling gothic novel penned by the elusive ‘Anonymous’ that describes what happened that night. To her shock, she discovers that Viscount Lakehurst is the author, and she accuses him of her husband's murder.

It was supposed to be one night with the marquess…

Everyone loves Lord Julian Batchelor, Marquess of Ormonde. The golden boy of the ton, he knows everyone, and they think they know him, too. But Julian harbors dark secrets, and he’s determined not to let anyone discover them—until he meets the one woman immune to him…

Society may be run by the men of the ton, but six scandalous sisters are determined to take it by storm one gentleman at a time.

Iseabail Blair has one chance to save her sisters and restore her family’s standings among the ton—a marriage of convenience to a dying man. Her husband’s strategy for her to conceive a child and produce an heir after his death, however, gives Iseabail even fewer choices, especially when she finds herself in the arms of the man responsible for her family’s demise. But is she truly trapped if the passion between her and the Duke of Ross is everything she’s ever desired?

In a world where reputation is everything, three daring outcasts risk all for love. From brooding lords to rebellious ladies, Barbara Russell’s Victorian Outcasts delivers heart-pounding romance, sharp wit, and unforgettable characters who defy society’s rules in pursuit of passion. Perfect for fans of Bridgerton and historical love stories with a rebellious twist.

A duke who needs to be tamed...a lady who refuses to be rescued.

No one expected anything of Adam Chamberlin, the third son of a duke, known for gambling and drinking. And then tragedy strikes. Now Adam is the new Duke of Rothford, determined to right his mistakes. Except a secret in his past means helping the one woman who doesn't want his help at all...

She fled with stolen jewels. He offered protection. Neither planned to risk their heart.

With her mother dead and her father lost at sea, Inez De Costa has nowhere left to turn. Alone in England, she is hunted by a dangerous man and hiding a fortune in stolen jewels—wealth that could save her or destroy her. When her employer leaves London to claim a forgotten Cornish estate, Inez makes a desperate choice and hides herself among his belongings…straight into temptation she cannot resist.

Could a person fall in love with a stranger when she doesn’t know his name or see his face? Can she do it while engaged to someone else? All Stasia Dunn wants to do is hide from the fortune hunters at a Midsummer Night’s masquerade ball. Looking far more like Peaseblossom than Titania, she and her fairy wings have escaped to the conservatory. Unfortunately, she is discovered by a man dressed as Nick Bottom, complete with massive donkey snout covering his head. For some reason, he makes her feel safe. Worse for her fiancé, she suspects she might be falling in love. But since she hasn’t met her fiancé, how can she compare?

In the Wolf's Lair . . .

Determined to stop her wayward brother from squandering their dwindling fortune, Lady Eliza Brentford decides to follow him to his favorite den of depravity. There, among the candlelight and raucous revelry, she encounters her brother's role model in debauchery, the notorious Marquess of Haddan, Gryffin Dwight. Staring into his smoldering green eyes, Eliza can't help but find the rakehell nobleman seductively charming-and sinfully attractive.
