Cerise shares 5 Facts in INTERLUDE WITH A BARON, HER #REGENCY in THE INCOMPARABLES

Ever wonder how much is really true about what you read in historicals?
We all do!
I want to share with you 5 statements that are true in my story in the 99 cent smash hit, THE INCOMPARABLES, INTERLUDE WITH A BARON.

1. When the book opens (and the box set), Drayton Worth goes to a ball in Brussels.

Did a ball really occur?

Indeed it did!

The Duke of Lennox was put in charge of the defense of the city. His wife, who was the Duchess of Richmond (and Lennox), gave a ball for most general staff, officers in town, foreign officers and others who were invited by any of the above.

A glittering affair, the ball is recreated each year. There was one the other night in Brussels to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the battle.




2. In the scene in the novel where Drayton follows the spy and sees part of the battle, Dray sees French Eagles captured during the fray.

Is it true that the Scots Greys (armed cavalry) seized French Eagles from men of the French line?
Already a BestSeller on
ARe's BIG LIST!
Yes. This is true.  To this day, the Scots Greys have that French Imperial Eagle and are very proud of it's capture.

3. In all of the stories in THE INCOMPARABLES, the heroes are founders of a men's club in St. James' where they house and assist veterans of the Allied forces who fought in the 3-day battles which we collectively call Waterloo.

Is there such a club?

No. The Incomparable Club is a fiction which we six authors created to give us a basis for our collaboration and to give our men a link, so to speak.

4. In many of the novels, we six authors state that veterans were not cared for after the victory at Waterloo.

Is this true?

The Incomparables: 6 Heroes of Waterloo and the 6 Ladies They Adore Amazon   ARe   KOBO Yes. It is. Men who enlisted did so with the knowledge that they would be discharged after the wars were concluded. There was no provision for pay, disability, aid to widows or orphans or death benefits. All of these are benefits which were created mostly after standing armies became the norm in the mid-1800s.

5. Our hero, Drayton Worth lives temporarily in Queen Square. He also leases a house next door.

Does Queen Square exist?

Yes. It does! Queen Square is actually a square with garden in the center in Bloomsbury area of London. Begun between 1716 and 1725, it survives to this day and is a center for medical facilities and professionals. 

Here are pictures!

INTERLUDE WITH A BARON, Fashions make perfect! #Regency dress in #historical #romance by Cerise DeLand

Nothing makes a lover of Regency romances more shivery and steamy than picturing in her mind's eye the luscious clothes of men and women who live in the novels.

With Beau Brummel the leading contender for Clothes Horse of the Ton—and his friend the Prince Regent close behind—many were dedicated to wearing proper attire for every hour of the day.

Here are just a few delights from INTERLUDE WITH A BARON, currently among the box set of THE INCOMPARABLES, the set of 6 Waterloo commemorative novels for 99 cents. (This terrific bargain features big, luscious stories of 6 Heroes of Waterloo and the 6 Ladies They Adore by 6 Incomparable Regency Authors including Dominique Eastwick, Sabrina York, Suzanna Medeiros, Suzi Love, Lynne Connelly and me, too!)

For the ball gown Emma Bedlow wears, here is a gorgeous piece beautifully preserved.  A Regency gown circa 1821, this dress is made of silk gauze with embroidered blue leaves in silk, trimmed in silk net and blue satin, puffed sleeves with silk tassels and trimmed in blue silk net and ribbons. I change the blue to aqua marine to match my heroine's eyes. And yes, our hero Drayton Worth ordered the gown made especially for her!

A Morning Dress, or robe and neglige of cambric and muslin, fastened at the front with bows and tassels. Imagine having those undone in the bedroom by the man of your choice! Drayton Worth does—and loves every moment! But then, so does Emma!

And what might he be wearing?
Well!  He has to look as on pointe as she, mustn't he?

Here is his attire when he calls on her that first day she moves in to her new house in Queen Square in London. Unbeknown to her, he temporarily lives next door in this smaller abode he owns. His main house lies in St. James Square, but a fire there months ago has meant he's had to call for renovations.

Here is Dray's marvelous afternoon attire. Buckskin breeches, a fabulous coat and oh, wow, to the cravat. But the boots are the Be All And End All, don't you think?

An excerpt from INTERLUDE WITH A BARON:
  “Excuse me, will you?” Dray dismissed himself from the group. He had four days to talk with all these people. What lured Dray was his favorite puzzle. The famous Marlthorpe maze.  He escaped through the French doors opening to the veranda and the complex design of the evergreens. He loved this labyrinth, its path copied from an ancient Greek oracle. For many years, he’d come here to Marlthorpe’s springtime party and sought out the serenity of the garden and the mental exercise it afforded. Puzzles were his favorite pastime when he was not making money.Starting down the entrance, he paused a moment to consider the right turn or the left. He’d tried the left last year and found it led to a circular route back to the entry. Right then, it would be. The yews had grown two inches or more since last spring and the enclosure was quiet, comforting. That is, it was until he heard giggles from another quarter of the shrubbery.  The sounds were those of a young child and a woman.  “Come now, Christine,” the female voice was low, breathless. It had a distinctive rasp.  Dray halted.  “You must put on your mask, dearest. You have the advantage if you can see!” The woman laughed though she tried to sound stern.  And Dray swallowed, drowning his instincts about the identity of the lady who chased her daughter in the garden.   The child shrieked in delight, then pattered away.  Rustlings in the bushes gave evidence of the two running.  “I found you!” the woman said.  “Not fair. Not fair, Miss Bedlow.” The girl objected but laughed nonetheless.   Miss Bedlow? How could it be?     Dray stared at the wall of greenery.   The two chuckled and chased each other.   The woman stopped. “Wait, Christine!”   He spun around, following the sounds, his head whirling with the shock and the possibility that Emma Bedlow was a guest at this party. That she played with a child.   And that she was in this garden and he was, too. After years of taking care to never cross her path, how ironic that he could come to a house party on a spring afternoon in Berkshire and be so near.   He stood, confounded by his choices. Call to her. See her. In truth, over the next three days, he would eventually be near her. To converse. To dine. To dance. Better to face her alone now than later in a room filled with curious spectators.  So be it. Following their voices, he tracked her and her charge down one path and left across another. Luck was with him and he recalled one lane with the grey stone bench…and another one with the potted white roses along the east barrier.  The noises stopped.   The girl asked a question and Emma answered, walking toward him and laughing.   Anxious, fretful, he turned a corner.   Halted.   Let his eyes revel in the sight of her.   She was holding hands with a girl and beginning a children’s roundelay.  The girl broke away from her, racing around like a little animal and not watching where she was going, she ran right into Dray.   With a grunt, she froze and peered up at him.   Dray caught the child with hands to her shoulders. She squirmed and pleaded with him to let her go.   But Dray had no presence of mind to do it. He gazed at Em, his soul drinking in her pale green gown, her fuller figure, her wealth of midnight hair. He had died of thirst for years to see her—and he rejoiced that she appeared hale and hearty, even happy, if also at the moment, shocked to stillness.  What to say to her? What to call her? He wouldn’t address her by her title. That was one she’d hated, never wanted. And since the autumn, she told it about that she wished to discard her married name for her maiden.  “My lady, how wonderful to see you again.”  She gaped at him as she blinked and stepped backward. “My lord.”  “I had no idea you were here.”    “I—I was amusing her, tiring her before…”   He tore his gaze from hers and looked at the girl with a critical eye. The child was too old to be hers and Montroy’s. Was she ten? Eleven? Twelve years old, at the very most. When he’d last seen Em after Waterloo, she’d been married only a year and the anniversary of that great battle would be five years in June. This child was not hers.  He peered at her. “You are invited to the house party?”   Emma shook her head so forcefully that her shining hair, so thick, fell from her pins, draping her shoulders with fat curls. “ Yes. But I will not attend.”   He took a step nearer. She was as lovely—no, even more beautiful than she’d been as an eighteen-year-old dancing in his arms at the Dunstables’ ball. Now she was what? Twenty-four? Twenty-five?   Her cheeks were plumper. Her exotic aqua eyes round with shock. Her form was fuller. A woman, no longer a girl. A woman who had seen too much agony and deserved all the laughter and light she could garner in her lifetime.   “I don’t understand. Are you not a guest?”  “I am acting governess to the earl of Tunbridge’s daughter. Forgive me. This is Lady Christine, my lord. My dear, I present Baron Lansdowne.”   While the girl murmured how she was pleased to meet him, he took a second to realize Em used the formal title of Naill Wainwright. Astonishing, too, was that this child was Naill’s, the one no one ever saw and often remarked might not exist.   “You are employed?”   “I am.”   That confused him. She had money. He’d made certain of it. His sum complemented that from her mother’s dowry, which her father had not been able to throw after bad schemes, grasping mistresses and cards. “Will you come inside and—?”   “No, my lord.” She stiffened and never took her eyes from him. “I cannot.”  “I am so delighted to see you, Em.”   She looked as if she were about to cry. But she took hold of her charge’s hand. “I must go.”   “Wait, Em. I must talk to you.” Make amends.   “I do not wish to speak with you. Go about your party, my lord. Say nothing, I beg you, of this or me to anyone.”   The Elgin family had invited her. They had evidently accepted that she needed careful assistance to enter society again. He didn’t understand why she hung back.   Unless she was angry at him.  And he couldn’t blame her. “Em, I mean you no harm.”   She put up a hand. “Please, Dray. I must do this my way. Let me go in peace.”
   And since she had had so little of it in her life, he did as she asked and watched her leave him. As she always did.********INTERLUDE WITH A BARON is part ofRegency Romp serieswhich begins withLADY VARNEY'S RISQUE BUSINESSfollowed byRENDEZVOUS WITH A DUKEand wihtin a few weeks, the third in series~MASQUERADE WITH A MARQUESS.

Read more about Tarnished Honor By Sabrina York
Daniel Sinclair is a broken man with wounds that are physical and spiritual. He’s weighed down by grief and guilt that he could not save his friend, Graeme Lennox, and is convinced that a French lance left him less than a man. He has no prospects. Nothing left but his tarnished honor. But then he meets a vexing boy who makes him question even that.
Fia Lennox’s world turned on its end with her brother’s death. She’s gone in one fell swoop from lady to servant…to a woman on the run. The world is a dangerous place for a woman alone—even when she is masquerading as a boy—so when she meets up with a strong, valiant ex-cavalryman, she decides to become his traveling companion. Whether he likes it or not.
Battling villains, would-be-friends and their own finely-forged battlements, Fia and Daniel rush toward their destiny, a scorching passion and, hopefully, redemption. Can love conquer all? Even the ghosts of the past?
Read an excerpt of Tarnished Honor:
Glorious.There was no other word for it. Simply glorious.Daniel tipped his face up to the sky and grinned. The sun was shining and the breeze was mild. The sky was blue and tufted with fat white clouds. It was a lovely day to travel—it could have been raining, could have been cold. But since he’d set out from London, on this lengthy journey to Inverness, each day had been prettier than the last. His mood had improved too. He was swamped with the conviction that he’d done the right thing, leaving his haven. As much as he appreciated his position at the club, he’d allowed himself to sink into it, into the rut of it. He’d allowed himself to wallow in his woes. There was no wallowing on the road; there simply wasn’t time for it.It was energizing to be traveling again, invigorating to be out in the world, breathing fresh air and going somewhere. He enjoyed the solitude, the quiet, the absence of need to make conversation. That left him alone with his thoughts, his regrets, his guilt, but such specters had haunted him for so long, they were like old companions. He wouldn’t know who he was without them.Aye. This was far more healing than any medicine—the power of his mount between his thighs, the kiss of warmth on his face, the movement. Surprisingly, his leg hardly pained him at all, except when he moved suddenly. In fact, it even felt better after several days of riding. He hadn’t fallen off his horse once. Hunnam was in good form as well. No doubt he’d enjoyed the fresh air and the chance to prance once again. An hour’s exercise a day was one thing, but for a Scots Grey, the chance to run and run wild spoke to his soul.It spoke to Daniel’s too, so he put his heels to his mount’s sides and gave him his head.And it was glorious.He hadn’t realized how closed up he’d allowed himself to become. How isolated. He hadn’t realized how much he’d allowed his injury—and his guilt—to shrink his horizons.Well, his horizons weren’t limited now. They spread before him in a verdant green wash that stretched as far as the eye could see. He passed a loch and paused to admire the sparkling waters, to watch an osprey swoop down to snatch a hapless fish. And damn, but it was a fine thing to be back in Scotland. Daniel hadn’t realized just how much he’d missed hearing the lilt of his own brogue, or tasting a well-made haggis. The Brits didn’t care for haggis, a fact he’d never quite understood. When created by someone who knew what they were doing, it was delicious. And Scottish innkeepers, apparently, knew what they were doing. Or their wives did. There was no doubt about it, he’d probably gained a stone since crossing the border to his homeland. He’d never felt so vibrant and alive. And while he had enjoyed the occasional chat with a fellow countryman, he had never enjoyed his own company more. There was something about being alone with one’s thoughts that was very peaceful. It allowed a man to explore his soul at leisure without interruptions. It allowed a man to process all that had happened in his life. To put everything in the place it belonged. Though he still had several days of travel, at most a week, he was already lamenting the journey’s end.After he passed the Kinclaven Crossroads, the landscape changed from fields and farms to orchards. The looming trees shaded the road in a lacy pattern; the scent of crisp apples filled the air, tempting Daniel to reach up and pluck one for a taste.  He did not. That would be stealing and he was a man of honor.He pulled back on Hunnam’s reins when he spotted a white mare standing in the road. She was difficult to miss. Her lines were exquisite, her saddle and tack were the finest…but she had no rider. His brow wrinkled as he rode closer. No one would ever abandon such a fine horse. It was—“Blast.”The imprecation came from the leafy tree next to which the mare stood.Daniel glanced up; the boughs riffled. An apple fell to the ground.The mare whinnied and walked over to it, lipping up the treat.Another apple fell and the horse made short work of that one was well.“Stop eating them all,” the tree said. “Save some for me.”Daniel cleared his throat. It seemed prudent to make himself known. “Hullo?” The leaves rustled and a face peered out. Enormous blue-green eyes stared at him. Something flickered through them. Something that could have been construed as…guilt.Daniel frowned. “What are you doing up there?” he asked.The eyes blinked. “Nothing.”“Nothing?” He drummed his fingers on his saddle. “Are you stealing apples?”The chagrined expression on that elfin face was nearly whimsical. “Is this your orchard?”“Indeed it is not.”An entrancing, mischievous smile blossomed and the thief tossed him a fat red apple. “Then catch.”He did not. He did not catch. The apple bounced off his pate.“Oh really,” an amused voice echoed from above. “Let’s try again.”“Let’s not.”Too late. Another apple flew in his direction. He missed it again. It fell to the ground and Hunnam gobbled it up.“Sir, you are supposed to catch them.” “I doona care to abet you in your thievery—” Another missile flew. By the grace of God, he caught this one. “Please stop throwing stolen apples at me.” It was large and red and shiny and looked delicious. Aside from that, it smelled quite tantalizing. As he felt he had earned it, he polished it on his lapel and took a bite. Flavor exploded in his mouth and juice dribbled down his chin. They were excellent apples.The face disappeared, followed by more rustling. A satchel fell to the loam with a soft thud. Then a pair of feet appeared. Legs. Slim hips. Slender shoulders and then a mop of tousled black curls. A boy dropped to the ground with an oof. He looked up at Daniel, his head tipped saucily to the side, and then he grinned. It was a rakish grin. “Not stealing,” he said. “Borrowing.”This he said with such conviction, Daniel had to struggle not to laugh. This was no laughing matter. Thieves ended up in the gaol. “Ah. Borrowing. Surely you won’t mind explaining that to him.” Daniel nodded to the distance, where a farmer was running through the trees toward them, arms flailing. The boy’s eyes widened. He picked up the satchel and hefted it over his shoulder. Then he bounded into the saddle and shot a glance back at Daniel. His grin was wicked as he urged his mount forward…leaving Daniel behind to explain to the farmer why his apples were missing.And why apple juice dribbled from his chin.

Laura Excerpt:
 The crowd parted. They were not dancing, having left off in favor of supper, so Paul walked straight across the room to face Hetty. His gait was loose and easy, but he ate up the ground with no regard to the careful, mincing steps of the fashionable gentleman. His Hussar uniform, one of the most flamboyant in the army, looked as good as any ever did on his broad shoulders, and tall, muscular form. Gold was so heavily laced across the front that the red cloth beneath could hardly be seen. The pelisse that hung from one shoulder, red lined with blue, was equally fine.Despite the magnificence, the man outshone the uniform, his carefully brushed dark hair and square jaw more than adequate to the task. The grim purpose delineated in every spare line of his form embellished the uniform rather than the other way about.Hetty drew her hand away from Lewis’s arm, and stood clear of him. Paul bowed to her. “My lady.”    "My lord.”    Thus, a year of silence was broken.    She held out her gloved hand, proud that it did not waver, even though her pulses throbbed and her throat had tightened so she could scarcely breathe.    He took it and bowed over it in the approved manner. Then he glanced at his cousin. “Lewis.”   “Welcome home, Sherstone,” Le

Love After Waterloo by Suzi Love       Lady Anne Melton joins her brothers on the continent after the death of her soldier husband, hoping to keep her unborn baby from the clutches of his strict relations. With one brother an army physician and the other on Wellington’s staff, Anne uses her nursing skills at the battlefields and feels safer with them than in London. Captain Gabriel Belling deems ladies near the army an unnecessary distraction for soldiers and makes his feelings known to Anne when they meet in Brussels.        But when Gabe, Anne, and her son travel with the last group of wounded to leave Waterloo, they learn to depend on each other’s skills, Gabe as a soldier and leader and Anne as a compassionate nurse, during their skirmishes with crazed deserters from both armies. In London, social restrictions force them apart, with Gabe opening his club for returning soldiers while Anne battles her son’s grandparents.       When Anne begs for Gabe’s protection, will their love be enough to overcome their troubles and form a family?

Love After Waterloo by Suzi Love
“Mama, why doesn’t that man like me?” Daniel asked, his singsong voice echoing loudly around the walled chamber. Slowly, the Captain turned to face them. He took two steps closer to Daniel and squatted as low as he could manage on one leg, while keeping his bandaged leg straight and using it for balance. “I apologize, your lordship.” He spoke directly to Daniel. “My name is Gabe, and I don’t dislike you. In fact, you remind me of my three nephews and I like them. A lot.” He sighed. “I have several decisions to make, difficult decisions, but that isn’t an excuse for bad manners.” He glanced up at Anne. “As I’m certain your mother has told you.”Daniel nodded. “Uncle Bren told me to be good for Mama, and you, ‘cause you’re the Captain and you’re taking me and Mama to En…En…” He tugged on her hand. “Where we going, Mama?” Lady Melton smiled at her son. “England, darling. We’re going to England.”Daniel pulled his hand from hers and stepped up to the Captain, careful to avoid his bandaged leg. His tiny hand rested on Gabe’s shoulder and he patted him. “My mama will help. Mama knows ‘bout Englin, and she makes sores better.” He pointed at Gabe’s outstretched leg. “Kisses make it better.”Anne gasped, while Gabe chuckled. His amber eyes held a twinkle as he spoke to Daniel. “I’m sure your mama’s kisses would make any man feel better.” He looked up at her and smirked. “Will you kiss me, Lady Melton?” Anne groaned and put her hands to her burning cheeks, thankful that Daniel’s focus was on his new friend and not her red face. When Gabe stood and slowly drew his bandaged leg under him, Anne realized that he didn’t have his crutch. “Captain, please, lean on me.” She moved closer and was relieved when, with a muffled groan, he slid his arm around her shoulder and settled a little of his weight on her. His eyes closed momentarily and he shuddered. Daniel reached up and again patted Gabe’s hand, before turning begging eyes towards her. “Mama, make man’s sore better?”  She’d planned to evaluate the Captain’s capabilities from a distance, thereby avoiding another discussion about scandalous ladies who assisted surgeons, but between her son’s pleading and the Captain’s obvious pain, she had no choice. Years of caring for the sick meant she could no more turn her back on a person in pain than she could feign interest in endless drawing room discussions on the weather. Treating the Captain’s wound, and reducing his pain, might also lead to a shorter journey, because his focus would be on maps and roads rather than his leg. “Captain Belling−”“Please, as we’re to live in close quarters for a time, let’s dispense with formality.” He gave her the sort of winsome smile that would cause many women to swoon. “My name is Gabriel, or Gabe if you wish.”She hesitated. A week ago, she’d thought the man insufferable, so suddenly becoming the recipient of his debonair charm made her squirm. The first lesson she’d learned when making her social debut was that rogues and rakes should never be trusted. Still, if a temporary truce ensured an easier journey for Daniel, she’d disregard her previous impressions of him as narrow-minded and condescending, and treat him as a friend.She nodded. “Gabe, will you allow me to inspect your wound? I’ve had considerable experience with slashes from swords, and I know several methods to increase blood flow, reduce the swelling, and lessen the pain.” He stiffened, stood to his full height, and removed his arm. “Thank you for the offer, Lady Melton, but a surgeon will treat my laceration when we reach London.”“But that could be a week. Ten days.” She glowered at the obstinate man.
“And my name is Anne.”“I’m hoping for a quicker trip than that, Anne, depending on how many problems we encounter.”“You mean, how many deserters.” She glanced down at Daniel who had returned to lean heavily against her side, a sign he was ready for a meal and bed. After picking up her son, she followed Gabe as he hobbled back to the table, took up his crutch, and used it instead of her shoulder. Not that she’d tell him, but she often missed the feel of a strong male arm enclosing her. Missed a man’s body touching hers, even if that heavy maleness meant extra weight to support. Gabe watched Daniel carefully and took his time replying. “We’re planning on a straightforward journey directly to the coast, and then a smooth sail across the Channel. So let’s not dwell on what may or may not happen along the way. Every soldier in our group suffers from some sort of injury, but we’re well trained and will keep you safe.” He smiled at Daniel and reached out his hand. “You’ll soon be in England, young sir.”

Read an Excerpt from The Captain’s Heart!
Mont-Saint-Jean farm, Belgium
June 21, 1815Gazing down at the shrunken figure lying on the hospital bed before him, Captain Edward Hathaway searched for signs of the perpetually happy young man everyone knew and loved. Why was it that men always looked so much smaller in stature when stretched out on a bed?Or in a coffin.His mind shied away from that image. He’d seen more than his share of death recently, but he’d also seen men survive worse wounds than the loss of a leg. And if anyone deserved to live, it was Private Freddie Reynolds. It should have been him in that bed. Freddie had come between him and a bayonet aimed directly at his back during that final, bloody battle on the fields near Waterloo. The private had fielded off that blow, but his heroism had been rewarded with a musket ball to the leg. Edward still didn’t know what exactly had happened. They had managed to break through the front line of Bonaparte’s infantry and the enemy had been everywhere. Time had passed in a blur of blood and battle frenzy as every man fought for his very survival.But he did know one thing. If not for this man, he would probably be dead. He never knew what to expect each day when he walked into the field hospital that housed far too many of his men. The number of injured in the ward dwindled daily as men were discharged, transported, or succumbed to their wounds. But Freddie survived and Edward clung to the hope that he would shake off the fever that seemed to plague him.He was rewarded when the young man opened his eyes.“The nurses told me you were awake earlier today. I was beginning to think you were pretending to be asleep to avoid speaking to me.”“Not at all,” Freddie said with a strained chuckle as he drew himself up into a seated position on the bed. Neither of them said anything about his grimace of pain, or about the visible absence of one of his legs underneath the blanket. “I was hoping to see you today, Captain.”Edward lowered himself onto the stool by the bed. “It eases my mind to see you up.” He’d been thinking about what to say to this man, but how did one adequately thank someone for saving their life? “I am forever in your debt,” he said, having decided that the prosaic words would have to suffice. “It has been an honor to serve with you, Captain.”It sounded as though the man was saying his farewells, but Edward shook off that morbid thought. “The honor has been mine. If there is ever anything I can do for you, you have only to ask.”Freddie looked him square in the eye and in their depths Edward could see his determination. “In case there is no future, I do have a request to make of you.”“There will be a future,” Edward said, refusing to believe otherwise.Freddie looked away for a moment, struggling to form his next words. “I have written a letter to Grace. I’d like you to take it and deliver it to her personally. It is vital that she receive it.” He pulled a folded square of paper from under the corner of his pillow. “I wrote it earlier today and one of the nurses was kind enough to seal it for me.”Edward balked at the implication that the man before him would not be seeing his oft-spoken-about betrothed again. “I’m sure you will see her yourself soon enough.”Freddie tried to hand the letter to him, but he was weaker than he appeared. When Edward didn’t take it right away, his hand sank to the bed. “I would consider it a personal favor.”Edward couldn’t deny the request, but he hated that Freddie was even considering the possibility that he wouldn’t recover. He took the letter from his hand.“Promise me that you’ll deliver it in person, Captain.”“You have my word, Private. But I won’t be returning to England for at least another few weeks. I hope, by that time, to be delivering it to you and you can give it to your future wife yourself.”His promise seemed to put the young man at ease. His shoulders visibly relaxed and he could only nod in reply. Taking that as a sign that Freddie needed to rest again, Edward stood and took his leave. When he reached the hallway, out of sight of Freddie and all the wounded men in the ward, he had to stop and gather the composure for which he was famous. Seeing Freddie in such low spirits had unsettled him more than he would have thought possible. The man in that bed was not the person he’d come to know. The Freddie he knew had buoyed the mood of every man in their regiment at one point or another. He was the eternal optimist who refused to give up hope even in the most dire of circumstances. Edward had to struggle against the impulse to march back into that room and order the private to get better. The sound of a single pistol shot came out of nowhere, unnaturally loud in the quiet hospital environment. Without thinking, Edward’s hand flew to the hilt of his sword, but then he remembered where he was and that he didn’t have the weapon that had seemed a part of him for so long. He waited, listening for signs of a battle. But instead of hearing the clash of swords or the return fire he expected would come from the men stationed outside the makeshift hospital, a woman’s cry of alarm came from the room he’d just vacated.Dread settled in the pit of his stomach as he rushed into the ward. What he saw there affected him more than anything he’d seen on the battlefield. More about Suzanna Medeiros:

What’s hotter than a hot firefighter? @desireeholt has your answer!

Blurb: Montana Wade was home after writing off the past ten years of her life, but she needed one more night of courage before she faced her family. Boone Crider, hotshot firefighter, was burned out form the rash of malicious fires. They thought one night as strangers would cure them both, but the fire they started between them soon became a barely controlled burn.
Excerpt: “See something you like?” He signaled the bartender for another.“You didn’t answer my question.”When the bartender set a fresh drink in front of him, he took another deliberate swallow of beer then set his bottle down carefully. “Question?”“Yes. Are you drinking to forget the wrong kind of woman?”He turned on his stool, studying her from beneath hooded lids for so long she felt compelled to meet him eye to eye. Mistake. Big mistake. Sexual heat surged through her, the muscles in the walls of her cunt vibrating as if they were doing a two-step, and her nipples became so hard she thought they’d poke holes in her tee shirt. Her mouth suddenly dry, she lifted her drink and finished it in one swallow. This time, it burned going down, but she was grateful. It distracted her from the other reactions of her body.“Maybe,” he said, at last. “Are you the right kind of woman?”Montana had a feeling she could climax from nothing more than listening to his voice. She tapped her glass on the bar to signal for a refill and wondered what in the fucking hell she was doing, anyway?Ooh, fuck! Andy would have a shitfit. Another naughty word.She barely suppressed a laugh.“Something funny?” Mr. Hotstuff asked.“Just a private joke.” The fresh drink arrived, and she took a tiny sip. “Maybe I am. The right kind of woman. What does that mean to you?”He draped his arm across her shoulders and threaded his fingers into the mass of curls at her neck. His touch was like the kiss of a match, igniting any nerve endings that might have still been sleeping. And, oh, god. If her panties hadn’t been wet before, they were soaked with her juices now. She squeezed her thighs together, trying to fight back the need radiating from her.He nudged her around on her stool again, so he stared into her eyes once more.Oh, god!“It means maybe we both came in here for the same thing tonight.”“Yeah? Explain.”“A night out of time. Would you go for that?”Would she?There was certainly no mistaking his meaning, even if he hadn’t said the words. Well, hell. She definitely wanted to forget a whole lot of bad business. Getting naked with him would be so much better than getting drunk. And probably leave her in a better mood.Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Controlled-Burn-Desiree-Holt-ebook/dp/B00VCETG94/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1427655713&sr=1-2&keywords=Controlled+Burn

For Lover or RevengeBy Dominique Eastwick Captain Roarke Wooldridge returned from Waterloo a different man than the one who left. Captured and detained as a prisoner of war, he endured both torture and betrayal at the hands of his captures and a single traitorous turncoat. Now those who survived the nightmare of that cellar in France are determined to get revenge.Read an Excerpt!
“She is utterly—amazing.” His face lit with genuine love as he spoke of her. Getting back to his feet, he moved to his chair on the other side of the hearth. “Perhaps when you are in town for the season, I can introduce you to her. I think she would enjoy your friendship. She complains about the lack of honorable people within the ton.”“One of the many reasons I stay away. It took very little time for the shine to dull on ton life. But I think I would very much like to meet her.”If he felt Alex and he would run into one another out in society, his family must be part of the ton. His manners and speech spoke to a man who had been well-educated. “I would like that, as well.”She couldn’t remember the last time she had looked forward to parties or balls. Unfortunately, shortly after her marriage, her husband had placed her in his country estate, fearing she would take a lover and try to hoist her bastard off as the earl’s. But, she would never have cuckolded him or caused him embarrassment. Life in the country fit her best. And he had treated her far better when they were away from the expectations of society. The few times they’d been required in London had been the most miserable of her married life.Alexandra hadn’t attended a season in nearly ten years. And that had been for her own. Bad memories had a way of keeping a person from returning. During her marriage, she hadn’t wanted to be paraded out as the young countess, a title she never quite felt comfortable with. And after the earl passed, she saw no reason to head into town for the season when everything she wanted lay within these walls. She had no desire to remarry, and, as children required the act of copulating, she had long ago resigned herself to a life without them. Although she had desired children, she was long past hoping for them. Until now, that is, when this handsome captain had come into her life, weakening her knees and causing a pool of desire to form in her belly.Picking up a fan from the side table, she waved it near her overheated face and neck, the temperature of the room having suddenly risen.“What about you, Captain? Are you married?”
