She threatens to conquer his heart…

When Matthew Donovan, Duke of Brunswick, proposes to Sarah Townsbridge,
she’s shocked. After all, she’s never met him before. One
thing is clear though – he obviously needs help. So after turning
him down, she decides to get to know him better, and finds out she’s
right. But fixing a broken man is not the same as adopting a puppy. Least
of all when the man in question has no desire to be saved.

Matthew has his mind set on Sarah. Kind and energetic, she’ll make
an excellent mother. Best of all, her reclusiveness is sure to make her
accept the sort of marriage he has in mind – one where they live
apart. The only problem is, to convince her, they must spend time
together. And the more they do, the more he risks falling prey to the one
emotion he knows he must avoid at all cost: love.

Below stairs is where the romance begins..

As the most distinguished watchmaker in England, Christian Bainbridge
believes in accurate timepieces, not love. He secretly offered his heart
years ago, and he’s never gotten it back. When Raine Mowbray stumbles
into his life again, Christian realizes the woman he’s worshiped from
afar is still the woman he desires above all others.

Raine Mowbray needs solitude and employment, not love. A housemaid forced
to flee a loathsome earl’s grasp, the last thing she’s seeking
is a man’s amorous attention. When she finds herself unexpectantly
paired with a gorgeous watchmaker in need of an assistant, she’s
unnerved by his wit, kindness—and clandestine devotion to her.

If you like spirited heroines who fight falling in love and charmingly
arrogant heroes who think they know best, then this is the book for you!
Snuggle up with Tempting the Scoundrel, a steamy second chance,
love-at-first-sight Regency Romance!

 

This is a Downton Abbey-ish novella at 98 pages and 25K words!!

Publisher: Kone Enterprises

Independent and capable Prudence Wedderburn, daughter of a vicar, is a
woman before her time. She not only manages the parish duties usually
performed by a vicar’s wife, she has learned the art of healing, and during
her father’s final illness, she also assumes some of his religious
duties—all actions welcomed by her village until her father’s death
abruptly ends her life as First Lady of Kenner’s Cove, Kent.

Well aware she must curb her independence—even learn to practice
subservience, a quality entirely unknown to her—Prudence accepts a
position as governess to a five-year-old girl in Cornwall. Where, alas,
rumors of her activities in Kent plunge her into difficulties with the
church, she clashes with her pupil’s father (an earl), finds herself
hip-deep in smugglers and Cornish legends, is befriended by a 500-year-old
cat, and discovers that someone—several someones?—want to kill
her. Finding a happy ending in a deluge of disasters will be the vicar’s
daughter’s greatest challenge.

 


 

 

About the Author

My mother was a highly successful author of children’s books, and for many
years it never occurred to me it was possible to have two authors in the
same family. I pursued a career in music, as teacher and performer, touring
in the first National Company of The Sound of Music. But only when my
children were off to college did I seriously consider trying my own hand at
writing. And discovered I loved it. To be able to create people, even whole
worlds from the imagination is a never-ending joy.

I was fortunate enough to win a number of writing awards, but after nine
print books, in 2011 I plunged into the world of e-books and never looked
back. It offers a level of creative freedom not to be found anywhere else.
As Blair Bancroft, I have become best known for books set in the Regency
period (early 19th c.)—Regency Gothics, Regency Historicals,
Traditional Regencies, and a series that reveals the darker side of the
Regency era (The Aphrodite Academy). I also write SciFi/Fantasy/Paranormal,
Romantic Suspense, and Mystery, with a Medieval Young Adult and a Steampunk
thrown in for good measure. (I do enjoy experimenting with new
genres.)

I now have more than forty books available through online vendors,
including a non-fiction compilation of all the Writing and Editing tips
posted to my blog since 2011 (Making Magic with Words).

I am an outspoken advocate of “out of the mist” writing. One of
my favorite sayings: I can hardly wait to sit down to my computer each
morning and find out what my characters are going to do today.

 Excerpt

A spark of awareness flared to life in his eyes, prompting her to drop her
gaze quickly. She finished preparing his plate and handed it to him. His
thumb brushed hers and her heart leapt. This was wrong, this response she
was having toward him. Nothing about it made sense when only moments ago
she’d been ready to hit him.

Avoiding further eye contact, she busied herself with putting the tin away.
“I have an early morning so I must be off now.”

“Won’t you keep me company while I eat?”

Eloise swallowed. “Non.” She closed the cupboard and forced her
feet to move toward the door. Reaching it, she paused to say, “It was
interesting to meet you, Mr. Townsbridge. I hope you enjoy your
snack.”

She turned away.

“I trust your husband is also in my parents’
employ?”

“No. I’m not…” Too late, she realized what
she’d revealed. Cooks were always referred to as Mrs., no matter their
marital status, and keeping Mr. Townsbridge in the dark about hers would
have served as a useful line of defense. If she’d been wise enough to
leave him wondering, that was, or even better if she’d lied.

“Duly noted.”

The comment chased her out of the kitchen and into the servants’
stairwell, all the way up to her room on the top floor of the house. She
didn’t pause for breath until she was safely inside with the door
shut. Good heavens. The way he’d said that, with seductive promise,
was enough to set her ablaze.

She patted her cheeks and expelled a deep breath.

No.

She absolutely could not allow herself to be alone with that man ever
again. Not only because of the threat he posed to her job but because of
what she feared he might want. And judging by how quickly he’d
replaced her indignation with amusement, she worried he had the skill to
acquire whatever he might desire.

Which meant she would have to avoid him at all cost.
