Gwendolyn Brocklesby needs to lose her virginity, and she needs to do it tonight. The bespectacled bluestocking beekeeper was initially ecstatic to inherit an unexpected fortune. But then Gwendolyn’s brother, who is also her legal guardian, conspires to marry her to one of his horrible friends so they can split her inheritance. In a stroke of luck, her new bridegroom manages to take a drunken tumble out of his highflyer on their wedding night, breaking his neck. The problem? The marriage was never consummated, and now Gwendolyn’s brother is pushing for an annulment. If Gwendolyn can manage to divest herself of her virginity in the next twenty-four hours, she will be an independent widow in control of her own fortune. But if she can’t, the future is too grim to contemplate. Enter the Wicked Widows, who sneak Gwendolyn out of the house and into London’s most notorious bachelor auction.

Summoning all of her courage, she places her bid. Tom knows that the career of a boxer is short, and he needs to find a way to make a living that doesn’t involve getting punched in the face. But no one has ever wanted him to be anything but a brute… until a certain eccentric bluestocking comes stumbling into his life. Gwendolyn has this misguided notion that Tom is some kind of hero. Now, this unlikely pair are reunited beneath the candlelight at the Wicked Widows’ Christmas Ball. But disaster also comes calling. Can the boxer and the bluestocking fight for a future… together?

They call them the Weatherby Wallflowers… After her mother’s death, Eleanor Weatherby has had a hard enough time shepherding her three younger sisters through the world and running her father’s household on a shoestring budget. But now her father, an eccentric naturalist who has always shown more interest in birds and beetles than his own flesh and blood, has sold their home so he could afford passage on an exploratory voyage around the world! Suddenly the four sisters dubbed the Weatherby Wallflowers don’t even have a roof over their heads. Their only chance… Eleanor somehow manages to secure an invitation to the Countess of Milthorpe’s house party, which buys them two weeks of shelter. Eleanor is firmly on the shelf, but her youngest sister, Philippa, manages to catch the eye of Felix St. James, younger brother of the Duke of Norwood. If Pippa can bring Felix up to scratch, it will draw them back from the brink of destitution. The man standing in their way… There’s only one problem—Jasper St. James, the Duke of Norwood. He immediately marked Pippa as an upstart miss who was only after his brother’s fortune. Jasper vows that he won’t let Felix out of his sight. But at every turn he is foiled by Eleanor Weatherby, who seems as determined to promote the match as Jasper is to prevent it. As Jasper and Eleanor match wits, he discovers that she is impertinent, imperious… and impossible to resist. It turns out that sparring with a headstrong wallflower is more to this stern duke’s taste than the milquetoast maidens he was considering for his bride at the start of the house party. Maybe one of the Weatherby Wallflowers will be marrying into the St. James family after all… if Jasper hasn’t already ruined everything. A Wallflower Never Surrenders is a steamy, comedic Regency Romance that will appeal to fans of Tessa Dare, Melanie Rose Clarke, and Callie Hutton. It is Book 19 in the multi-author series Revenge of the Wallflowers and also Book 1 in The Weatherby Wallflowers Quartet. Look for Clarissa Weatherby’s story, Snowbound with the Scoundrel, in November 2024!

First, he jilted her. Then, he humiliated her… The Weatherby Wallflowers received their unfortunate nickname when Rupert Dupree, the second son of the Earl of Rottenbury, jilted Clarissa, then decamped for the Continent. When a gossip sheet published Rupert’s letter forcefully rejecting their proposed union, all four Weatherby sisters became laughingstocks. Clarissa hadn’t much been looking forward to marrying a stranger, but she has hated ‘Rotten Rupert’ ever since. But you can’t keep a Weatherby Wallflower down… Now the consummate wallflower, Clarissa finds her true purpose: gathering information for the Home Office. It’s the one advantage of blending into the wallpaper—nobody even notices that Clarissa is in the room, much less that she is surreptitiously listening to everyone’s secrets. Snowbound with the Scoundrel… Clarissa’s contact at the Home Office gives her the most important assignment of her career: to infiltrate the Countess of Helmsley’s Christmas house party and protect a prominent Member of Parliament who has been subject to repeated assassination attempts. Nothing will stop Clarissa from reaching this house party, not even the snowstorm gathering over the Yorkshire moors. She manages to book passage on the last carriage leaving York. But that’s when Clarissa’s luck runs out. Because it turns out there’s one other passenger crazy enough to brave the moors in a blizzard. And it happens to be Rupert Dupree… Snowbound with the Scoundrel is a steamy, comedic Regency Romance suitable for fans of Julia Quinn, Virginia Heath, and Erica Ridley. It is Book 37 in the multi-author series Revenge of the Wallflowers and also Book 2 in The Weatherby Wallflowers Quartet. Look for Eleanor Weatherby’s story, A Wallflower Never Surrenders, and for Kate and Pippa’s stories, which are coming in 2025!

The only one who can help her is the man who broke her heart. Four years ago, Lady Caroline Astley took one look at Henry Greville, Viscount Thetford, and fell horribly in love, in that particular way you can only fall in love at the age of fifteen. He didn’t just reject her. He humiliated her. But now, in a stroke of rotten luck, he’s the only one who can help her. It turns out that the “paste” pendant she borrowed from her sister, Anne, was no fake. It’s actually an ancient Egyptian amulet, and now Anne wants to auction it off to save hundreds of widows and orphans. What Caro can’t bear to tell her sister is that the necklace was stolen from right around her neck. Caro has a few clues, but she doesn’t know an amulet from an obelisk, and the trail has gone cold. Guess who grew up in a house stuffed with Egyptian artifacts? Caro may despise Henry, but she needs him if she’s going to track down the thieves. Which begs the question of which is worse: letting down the orphans or risking her heart all over again. If you like sizzling Regency romance that makes you laugh and makes you swoon, give How to Train Your Viscount a try!
