Grace Burrowes:
Your novella indicated that the next Rogues to Riches book will be Ned's, so what happened to Joshua?? Joshua has a story and Jane hinted at matchmaking in book 1 so bring us his story, please? Secondly, we've never heard from the Duke of Elsmore and more importantly, his duchess!! Eleanora Hatfield begs to us to know how she met the ton and raised 7 children. Please let us know how she goes on. Please?

These are GREAT questions!
Joshua, I believe, went off to open a New York branch of the business (or maybe Paris, then NY?). I can see him coming home unexpectedly one cold and snowy evening, and bumping into a Christmas novella complete with HEA. As for Ellie and Rex... I will think about their situation. Ellie was inspired in part by Harriett Mellon, an actress turned banker turned duchess (oh, you BET you read that right). She inherited a controlling interest in Coutts' bank when her first husband died, and though her male contemporaries dismissed her involvement in the bank's activities, she had the power to hire and fire directors, and set policy. All that stuff Victorian men want us to think their Regency mamas and grandmama's didn't do--those ladies DID. So maybe another novella is in store as an epilogue for Rex and Ellie. I've always felt Jack deserved some love, myself. But first let's get our Neddy squared away...
