Ten Things I Hate About the Duke, limited time only eBook deal

And the deals keep coming.

Now it’s Ten Things I Hate About the Duke. Book Two in the Difficult Dukes series is Ashmont’s story, in which I take great liberties with Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew.

Amazon has dropped the Kindle price to $1.99 now until 14 February, in time for Valentine’s Day. Since other eBook retailers usually match Amazon deals, we can expect to see the same price on Nook, iBooks, and elsewhere.

And may I say how happy I am to be riding on Bridgerton’s coattails this month?

Audible Deal on a Duke in Shining Armor

For those of you who listen to books—

A Duke in Shining Armor, Book One of the Difficult Dukes series, is on sale at Audible. The theme is “allow listeners to travel back in time, be more productive, solve a murder mystery before midnight, or listen to the longest collection of short stories.”

I invite you to travel back in time to a week in June 1833, when His Dis-Grace, the Duke of Ripley, finds himself obliged to retrieve his friend’s runaway bride.

The sale runs 1/24/21 – 1/31/21.

A Duke in Shining Armor is also part of a BOGO deal, running 1/24-1/31.

If you haven’t yet listened to Kate Reading’s brilliant audio recreations of my stories, this is a fine opportunity. You will not be disappointed!

So many readers have asked about the third Difficult Dukes book that, with apologies, I’m going to have to respond here rather than in individual replies.

Alice & Blackwood’s story is in process. The goal is publication in 2022. If I could write faster, I would, but this is the way it goes nowadays, to my everlasting frustration.

Meanwhile, I’ll be continuing to stay in touch via this blog, Facebook, and Instagram. There will be pictures, lots of pictures, and information of varying degrees of historical nerdiness. Also, now and again on Instagram, there will be a giveaway.

For a set of images specifically related to individual books, please check out my Pinterest Page. If you would like to know more about any of the images, please email me, and I’ll be happy to write a blog post about it. The same applies to any puzzling elements in my books that you would like explained. I think it’s really fun to talk about social history: clothing, vehicles, manners, and so on. That’s part of the reason I write historical romance. For me, research is just delightful. It’s like playing Sherlock Holmes with history.

In other news:

A DEAL—The eBook edition of Royal Bridesmaids, an anthology that includes my novella, Lord Lovedon’s Duel, is for a limited time available for $0.99. Please be aware that these are short pieces, definitely not full-length novels. I’d need another three hundred-plus pages for that.
