Release Day for THE DETERMINED DUCHESS!
[image error]It’s release day for THE DETERMINED DUCHESS, book 2 in my Gothic Brides series! I had a lot of fun writing this novella, which features a duke unsure of his place in the world, and a scientifically-minded heroine who is learning to deal with new emotions while conducting strange experiments to bring back her guardian to life. Felicity is not a neurotypical heroine, and it was an absolute joy to get to show how she reacts to the possibility of romance with the boy from her childhood that she always viewed as a necessary annoyance.

2018 Release Schedule Changes
Hello everyone! I’ve made a few changes to my release schedule for 2018, so I wanted to update you.
The books slated for release in 2018 are:
It Started with a Whisper (anthology, already released on 1/23/18)
The Determined Duchess (Gothic Brides #2)
The Scandalous Widow (Gothic Brides #3)
A Lord for Every Lady (boxed set with several other authors, featuring The Mad Countess)
The Lady Rebels (The Rookery Rogues #5)
For Your Spy Only (Covert Heiresses #2)
While all of these books will still be released, there’s been a few modifications to the dates.
The Scandalous Widow was originally slated to release on June 19, 2018. It will now release on April 24, 2018. This book is up for preorder at Amazon, iBooks, Kobo, and Nook. It will be available on Google Play after release.
The Lady Rebels was slated to be released on May 29, 2018. I may still hit this release date, but to give myself a cushion for editing I have moved the date to July 24, 2018*. This book is up for preorder at Nook, Kobo, and iBooks, at a special preorder price of $0.99 to thank you for your patience with me. It will also be available for $0.99 on Amazon once we get in that 90 day preorder window. The good news is that this book is going to be a lot longer than I originally thought (it’ll be a full length novel, probably around 75,000 words if not longer), so you get more book! Huzzah!
*TL:DR, release date moved. Expanded reasoning below for those of you who want a more detailed explanation.

It started with a whisper…
Rumors, gossip, and secrets all have a way of unraveling at the worst possible time. Follow each story as it leads you through a path of mystery and intrigue. Lady X’s gossip sheet tells all and it leaves everybody talking. The rumors have the potential to ruin lives and with each whisper a new scandal arises. Will those who find themselves the subject of her scandal sheet escape unscathed and discover who Lady X is along the way?
One Moonlit Tryst by Amanda Mariel Lady Tabitha Pemberton wants nothing more than to enjoy her first season without becoming attached, but when Lady X writes of a forbidden tryst between Tabitha and Colin Brooks, the earl of Harcourt, everything changes. Now Tabitha must choose between her reputation and her desire to remain unattached.
Love Me, Lord Tender by Deb Marlowe Lord Tensford has an old title and an empty purse. He knew it would be difficult to find a Society bride, but after Lady X heeds baseless rumor and brands him Lord Terror, it’s next to impossible.
Until he comes to the aid of Lady Hope Brightley, causing Lady X to re-dub him Lord Tender.
Now he’s a laughing stock and a fortune hunter. But Lady Hope means to repay him and help him find a bride. In the end, will she turn him over to the perfect mate? Or ask him to . . . Love Me, Lord Tender?

On the verge of rectifying this misdeed, he finds himself faced with his greatest challenge yet: winning back the woman he has loved since the moment he met her. But after a year of silence, convincing his headstrong paramour Sybil Anson to take him back will not be easy. Especially since he can’t even explain why he left–not if he wants to keep her safe.
The Scandalous Widow by Erica Monroe Bow Street Runner Gabriel Sinclair has spent the last three years trying to forget about smart, beautiful Lady Jemma Forster,Countess of Wolverston, who broke his heart when she married his best friend.Her husband’s death thrusts Gabriel and Jemma back together, as they work to find his murderer. Their investigation takes them into the darkest, most dangerous parts of London. They’re perfect partners for solving crimes, but can they be partners in love too?
How to Land an Earl in Ten Days or Less by Ava Stone Known for his silver tongue, Reese Delacy, the Earl of Darling, wagers that he can make any girl fall in love with him in less than a fortnight. Unfortunately, the boast catches the ear and subsequently the pen of a notorious gossip columnist, making Reese a pariah in short order. He seems doomed for failure until he meets a Bermudian beauty who is seemingly unaware of the scandal.
With control of the Caribbean salt trade hanging in the balance, Miss Cara Beckett, left her home to solicit the support of parliament, never imagining she’d become embroiled in a reckless wager.
A Lady Hoyden’s Secret by Dawn Brower Lady Helena Carter has a secret. She dare not reveal it and court her own ruin–or incur the wrath of Lady X. Oliver Hunt, the Marquess of Dashville has problems of his own regarding the Lady of Whispers, and only Lady Helena can help him. As they cross paths, desire sparks between them. Their budding romance is tested as secrets are uncovered, and the revelations will either bring them closer together or tear them apart forever.

Rebranding…Gothic Brides!
When I first started writing The Mad Countess, it was for the first Castle Keyvnor collection and I didn’t really have a plan for how it would slot into my series individually. The further I got into writing the books that make up what was previously called “Darkest Regency,” I realized that I was actually writing very Gothic books–and thus, I’ve now decided to change the series name to reflect this.
The books in the Gothic Brides series are:
The Mad Countess (available now, independently and as part of Mystified !)
The Determined Duchess (available in Charmed at Christmas , and independently in March)
The Scandalous Widow (available in It Started With a Whisper on 1-23, and independently in April)
Nothing has changed about these books except the series name, so if you have already purchased them, you do not need to purchase them again. For a limited time, The Mad Countess is available for $0.99!

Recommended Read by Sarah MacLean!
I am absolutely giddy with delight to report that A Dangerous Invitation, book 1 of the Rookery Rogues and my debut novel, has been featured on New York Times Bestselling Author Sarah MacLean’s Read More Romance list. This is a huge honor for me, as Sarah was one of the first historical romance authors I ever read, and her books are a very large reason I started writing historical romance. Included on this list is Lauren Willig’s The Secret History of the Pink Carnation, the very first romance novel I read! I’m over the moon to be included with the likes of Lenora Bell, Sherry Thomas, Eloisa James, Lisa Kleypas, Megan Frampton, Caroline Linden, Maya Rodale, and Meredith Duran. Check out Sarah’s list and add to your to be read pile!
(Mr. Monroe is currently reading A Promise of Fire, a fantasy romance that’s on this list too!)

If you’d like to purchase it, head on over before Friday, as it’s only in stock for the panel.
