Three humorous Regency matchmaking romances about two sisters who make rags-to-riches marriages and want to pay it forward!
Two daring sisters cause scandal and mayhem as they storm London’s Regency ballrooms in search of husbands to please their mama.

But what about pleasing themselves?

Fanny is determined to find a man who will set her senses on fire and put a ring on her finger. Antoinette, by contrast, is out for all the fun she can get!

It’s a dangerous combination.

Prepare for unintended consequences as poor cousins, waifs and strays find their unexpected perfect match!

Here are the books included in this Collection:

Rake’s Honour ~ Book 1

The beautiful Brightwells—clever Fanny and her easily-led sister, Antoinette—battle scandal and spurned suitors to achieve gilded marriages against the odds. A love match in Fanny’s case and a very satisfactory compromise in Antoinette’s.

“Fanny and Fenton's story is full of drama, humor and sizzle.” ~ Amazon reader.

Rogue’s Kiss (Book 2)

How bold would a potential suitor be if he were told the lie that the young lady he desires has only six months to live?

The Wedding Wager (Book 3)

A rigged horse race - with a marriage and a lost child riding on the outcome.

If you like humorous, fast-paced romances with gorgeous men and witty women, you’ll love the Scandalous Miss Brightwells series.

What the readers say:

"A remarkable boxed set that had me in stitches from beginning to the end. These highlights sinfully scandalous romance and lost expectations. After reading book one in the series, an underlying force propels you to read the rest of the series." ~ Amazon Reader

Scandalous Miss Brightwells

Scandalous Miss Brightwells Books 1-3: Three humorous matchmaking Regency Romances

Welcome to Book One of my humorous, matchmaking Scandalous Miss Brightwells series!

I hope your smelling salts are on hand! This naughty Regency romp spares no details in its honest portrayal of how wicked and lively Fanny and Antoinette Brightwell made their rags-to-riches marriages and became darlings of the English aristocracy?

How did it all begin?

The path to true love does not run smoothly for dowerless and disgraced Miss Fanny Brightwell as she emerges from exile to hurl herself upon a London quite unprepared for her single-minded determination to find a husband to please herself.

For, indeed, matchmaking mamas bent on mercurially-motivated mesalliances are the order of the day in Rake’s Honour.

Not that any obstacle ever stood in the way of canny Fanny Brightwell achieving her aim.

But, dear reader, while we know that romance novels and wedding bells go hand in hand, you can rest assured that every over-confident rake, every dizzy debutante, and every spurned suitor bent on revenge, will get the comeuppance they truly deserve by the end of this sizzling first-in-series.

And that our bold, beautiful, brazen heroine can declare, with hand on heaving bosom, that the greatest gamble of her young life, taken to—supposedly— please her exacting mama, really paid off.

What the readers say:

★★★★★ "What a splendid book! I loved every moment of it… I was delighted by their torrid and passionate meetings. And the end... made me burst out laughing. It rocks!” BookedUp Reviews: 5 Stars

Reader Advisory: This steamy Regency is not for the faint-hearted as Fanny Brightwell is prepared to risk everything to save herself from a lifetime attending to Great Aunt Seraphina's chilblains or massaging lecherous Lord Slyther’s gargantuan ego – amongst other things.

Rake's Honour: Matchmaking Regency Romance

Would a potential suitor be bolder if he were told the object of his desire had only six months to live?

Sweet, pretty Thea Brightwell’s dull, quiet life with her crotchety aunt is about to be turned upside down by a visit to Bath and a chance encounter with handsome Mr Grayling.

However, the fledgeling affair is quickly nipped in the bud by Thea's aunt who has no intention of losing her unpaid nurse and companion, while Mr Grayling regretfully acknowledges he needs to marry an heiress to restore his family's crumbling fortunes.

Unbeknownst to penniless Thea, she has an unlikely champion in her well-meaning but ‘not-too-bright’ Cousin Bertram who has decided to play matchmaker.

If the lack of a dowry is the only impediment to Mr Grayling making an offer of marriage, Bertram reasons the gentleman would play a riskier hand if he were told that the damsel he covets were destined for her deathbed within six months?

Crotchety maiden aunts, love letters gone astray, and ‘old flames’ appearing from the woodwork lead to a most disconcerting outcome!

Rogue's Kiss: A matchmaking Regency Romance

Friends at seven, lovers at seventeen, Katherine and Jack were meant to be together.

But Jack, an orphan, is determined to make his fortune, while Katherine must make a good match.

Seven years later, Katherine is now a widow, awaiting the return of her beloved Jack...

Only to discover that Jack is bound by a betrothal agreement upon which his honour depends.

And while Jack still loves Katherine, he truly believes she chose to elope with another man the night he set sail for the West Indies.

Will duty and honour separate them once again?

This is Book 4 in the Scandalous Miss Brightwells series but it can be read as a standalone.

If you want to listen to the audiobook about Jack and Katherine when they were children, The Wedding Wager (Book 3) tells the love story of Jack's mother who discovers Jack seven years after she was forced to put him in the Foundling Home.

What the Readers Say:

"This book has a little bit of everything -- childhood friends, mistaken identities, second chances, and an aunt who (mis)guides her niece throughout the novel." ~ Kindle Reader

"Packed with drama, humor, spice, action, and lots of twists and turns." ~ Kindle reader.

"Having previously been introduced to Jack as a child, it was satisfying to experience his continued story. As an added bonus the author provides the resolution of all the secondary characters, too. A good read." ~ Kindle reader.

"I haven't read a Regency novel in quite some time. Very entertaining. Looking forward to others in the series again." ~ Kindle reader.

The Accidental Elopement: A second-chance Regency Romance

♥♥♥ An heiress in need of rescuing ♥♥♥

Heiress to a fortune, Lizzy Scott wants nothing more than to make a love match.

But her controlling guardian, Mrs Hodge, has other plans. She's promised Lizzy to dashing fortune hunter Mr Dalgleish in exchange for a portion of Lizzy's inheritance.

While Lizzy knows Mr Dalgleish is only after her money, he is also charming and persuasive. And he’s her best hope to escape the cruelty of Mrs Hodge's household.

♥♥♥ A fortune hunter in need of atonement ♥♥♥

With his reputation in tatters, the last thing self-confessed fortune hunter Theo McAlister needs is another heiress complicating his life.

When Miss Lizzy Scott suddenly becomes his responsibility after he rescues her from a carriage accident en route to a house party, Theo is determined to return her to her guardian so he can continue what has become his life’s mission: to atone for his past.

But when sparks fly and attraction sizzles between the innocent debutante and the jaded man-about-town, Theo must decide what is more important: Love? Or restoring his reputation?

Read The Scandalous Fortune Hunter for a roller-coaster ride through the twists and turns of thwarted newfound love and desperate choices. 

Warning: This sweet to sensual story contains humour, some clever matchmaking and a very eager and inexperienced heroine.
