(Disclaimer: This is not a new title; it is the self published
version of The Scandal of Lady Eleanor.) The men of the REALM have
served their country, while ignoring their responsibilities to home
and love, but now Bonaparte is defeated, they each mean to claim
their portion of a new and prosperous England. However, their
long-time enemy Shaheed Mir has other plans. The Persian warlord
believes one of the Realm has stolen a fist-sized emerald, and the
Baloch intends to have its return or his revenge. JAMES KERRINGTON,
the future Earl of Linworth left his title and his infant son
behind after the death of his beloved Elizabeth, but he has
returned to England to tend his ailing father and to establish his
roots. With Daniel as his heir, Kerrington has no need to marry,
but when Eleanor Fowler stumbles and falls into his arms,
Kerrington's world is turned upon its head. He will do anything to
claim her. LADY ELEANOR FOWLER has hidden from Society, knowing her
father's notorious reputation for debauchery has tainted any hopes
she might have of a happy marriage. And yet, despite her fears, her
brother's closest friend, James Kerrington, has rekindled her
hopes, but when Sir Louis Levering appears with proof of Eleanor's
participation in her father's wickedness, she is drawn into a world
of depravity, and only Kerrington's love can save her. The first
fully original series from Austen pastiche author Jeffers is a
knockout. - Publishers Weekly Jeffers's characters stay in the
reader's heart and mind long after the last page has been turned. -
Favored Elegance
For two years, BARON JOHN SWENTON has thought of little else other
than making Satine Aldridge his wife; so when he discovers her
reputation in tatters, Swenton acts honorably: He puts forward a
marriage of convenience that will save her from ruination and
provide him the one woman he believes will bring joy to his life.
However, the moment he utters his proposal, Swenton's instincts
scream he has made a mistake: Unfortunately, a man of honor makes
the best of even the most terrible of situations. SATINE ALDRIDGE
has fallen for a man she can never possess and has accepted a man
she finds only mildly tolerable. What will she do to extricate
herself from Baron Swenton's life and claim the elusive Prince
Henri? Obviously, more than anyone would ever expect. ISOLDE
NEVILLE has been hired to serve as Satine Aldridge's companion, but
her loyalty rests purely with the lady's husband. With regret, she
watches the baron struggle against the impossible situation in
which Miss Aldridge has placed him, while her heart desires to
claim the man as her own. Yet, Isolde is as honorable as the baron.
She means to see him happy, even if that requires her to aid him in
his quest to earn Miss Satine's affections. The first fully
original series from Austen pastiche author Jeffers is a knockout.
- Publishers Weekly Sacrifice and honor, betrayal and redemption,
all make for an exceptionally satisfying romance. A Touch of Honor
is a mesmerizing story of extraordinary love realized against
impossible odds. - Collette Cameron, Award-Winning Author
Members of the Realm have retuned to England to claim the titles
they left behind. Each holds to the fleeting dream of finally
knowing love, but first he must face his old enemy Shaheed Mir, a
Baloch warlord, who believes one of the group has stolen a
fist-sized emerald. Mir will have the emerald's return or will
exact his bloody revenge. A devastating injury has robbed AIDAN
KIMBOLT, VISCOUNT LEXFORD, of part of his memory, but surely not of
the reality that lovely Mercy Nelson is his father's by-blow. Aidan
is intrigued by his "sister's" vivacity and how easily she ushers
life into Lexington Arms, a house plagued by Death's
secrets-secrets of his wife's ghost, of his brother's untimely
passing, and of his parents' marriage: Secrets Aidan must banish to
finally know happiness. Fate has delivered MERCY NELSON to Lord
Lexford's door, where she quickly discovers appearances are
deceiving. Not only does Mercy practice a bit of her own duplicity,
so do all within Lexington Arms. Yet, dangerous intrigue cannot
squash the burgeoning passion consuming her and Viscount Lexford,
as the boundaries of their relationship are sorely tested. How can
they find true love if they must begin a life peppered with lies?
"The first fully original series from Austen pastiche author
Jeffers is a knockout." -Publishers Weekly "Jeffers brings to life
timeless characters in the series the Realm] to create intrigue and
a once-in-a-lifetime love." - Perceived Reality
Rushing through the concourse to make her way to the conference
stage, Gillian Cornell comes face-to-face with the one man she
finds most contemptible of everyone she knows, and suddenly her
world tilts. His gaze tells stories she wants desperately to hear.
As he undresses her with his eyes, Gillian finds all she can do is
stumble through her opening remarks. The all-too-attractive cad
challenges both her sensibility and her reputation as a competent
sexologist. Dr. Lucian Damron never allows any woman to capture his
interest for long. He uses them to boost his career and for his own
pleasures. Yet, Lucian cannot resist Gillian's stubborn
independence, her startling intelligence, and her surprising
sensuality. Sinfully handsome, Lucian hides a badly wounded heart
and a life of personal rejection. Thrown together as the medical
staff on Second Chances, a new reality show designed to reunite
previously married couples, Lucian and Gillian soon pique the
interest of the American viewing public, who tune in each week,
fascinated by the passionate electricity between them. Thus begins
an all-consuming courtship, plagued by potentially
relationship-ending secrets and misunderstandings and played out
scandalously on a national stage.
(Disclaimer: This is not a new title; it is a reworking of "Captain
Wentworth's Persuasion" from Ulysses Press.) The love affair behind
Jane Austen's classic, Persuasion, rests at the heart of this
retelling from Captain Frederick Wentworth's point of view. He has
loved her from the moment their eyes met some eight years prior,
but Frederick Wentworth is determined to prove to Anne Elliot that
she has made a mistake by refusing him. Persuaded by her family and
friends of his lack of a future, Anne had sent him away, but now he
is back, and it is Anne whose circumstances have brought her low.
Frederick means to name another to replace her, but whenever he
looks upon Anne's perfect countenance, his resolve wavers, and he
finds himself lost once again to his desire for her. Return to the
Regency and Austen's most compelling love story. Jeffers turns the
tale upon its head while maintaining Jane Austen's tale of love and
devotion.
"The first fully original series from Austen pastiche author
Jeffers is a knockout." - Publishers Weekly "Jeffers's close look
at the dark secrets of Regency society instills a sense of
realism." - Publishers Weekly After years away from England,
members of the Realm return home to claim the titles and the lives
they had previously abandoned. Each man holds onto the fleeting
dream of finally know love and home. For now, all any of them can
hope is the resolution of his earlier difficulties before Shaheed
Mir, their old enemy, finds them and exacts his revenge. Mir seeks
a mysterious emerald, and he believes one of the Realm has it.
GABRIEL CROWDEN, the Marquis of Godown, can easily recall the night
that he made a vow to know love before he met his Maker. Of course,
that was before Lady Gardenia Templeton's duplicity had driven
Godown from his home and before his father's will had changed
everything. Godown requires a wife to meet the unusual demands of
the former marquis's stipulations. Preferably one either already
carrying his child or one who would tolerate his constant
attentions to secure the Crowden line before the deadline. GRACE
NELSON dreams of family died with her brother's ascension to the
title. Yet, when she meets the injured Marquis of Godown at a
Scottish inn, her dreams have a new name. However, hope never has
an easy path. Grace is but a lowly governess with ordinary
features. She believes she can never earn the regard of the
"Adonis" known as Gabriel Crowden. Besides, the man has a
well-earned skepticism when it comes to the women in his life. How
can she prove that she is the one woman who will never betray him?
The Regency era has never been hotter.
