“He thinks she’s a traitor to her queen. She thinks he’s just a gardener.

Despised by the cousin with whom she’s forced to live, the lonely but determined Alys craves escape. The most dangerous thing she could do is fall in love. Especially when the man who tempts her is Kit Ludlow, an exiled nobleman in disguise. Becoming involved in his secret mission proves more perilous than Alys could possibly have imagined.
Kit has been banished from Queen Elizabeth’s court, and the last thing he wants is to entangle Alys in his web of treachery and deception. It would also be folly to fall in love with her when he can’t be sure where her loyalties lie. After helping Kit foil a plot against the queen, Alys’ life is at risk from her cousin’s nefarious schemes. Estranged from Kit, she’s forced to make a desperate decision.

Should she protect her family, or follow the demands of her heart?”

Here’s an insight into the story-

She’s pretending to be respectable.
Tricking her way into a gentlemen’s card game isn’t Belinda Bellamy’s cleverest idea. Especially not when it’s at the Lyon’s Den, and one of the gamblers is a theatre owner who knows an actress when he sees one. Unmasked, Belinda’s ploy to raise enough money for Mrs Dove-Lyon’s services backfires badly. Instead of hiring the best matchmaker in London, Belinda is blackmailed into becoming her employee, and her hope of escaping her tragic past through marriage is shattered.

He’s pretending not to be . . .
The man who’s ruined Belinda’s plan is the rich but ruthless Piers Darvill, a notorious rake whose secret suffering is concealed by a heart of steel. He’s on the hunt for the woman hiding his young son. He’ll use any means to find her, including a young street urchin called Tom and Roland Chetwynd, Belinda Bellamy’s hapless chaperone and confidant.

Seeing Darvill as her nemesis, Belinda is determined to rescue Tom and free Roland from his obligations. But she has totally misunderstood Piers Darvill and ends up exiled and disgraced. Now he’s the only one who can restore her to Society, but his help comes at a price: she must become his fake fiancée.

Will their false betrothal fool anyone? And what if it becomes more than an act? Belinda’s scapegrace past could resurface, and Darvill will lose his last chance of finding his missing son.

THE LYON RAMPANT by Elizabeth Keysian

Chapter One

Miss Belinda Bellamy had just laid out another winning hand when she was gripped by her arms and hauled roughly from her seat. She resisted the urge to emit a feminine squeak, since she was currently dressed as a man and had, until this moment, apparently succeeded in her deceit.

The other gamblers at the table, masked, like herself, uttered various cries of surprise and alarm, none louder than her sister’s brother-in-law Roland Chetwynd, guilty of smuggling her into the exclusive Lyon’s Den gaming club. Yet even as Belinda stood, staring at the huge pile of winnings that was about to be taken from her, she realized that one of the card players was not at all surprised.

A special discount for Regency Romance lovers

I have a bargain book to offer Regency Romance fans, but only for the next few days. It’s called A TREACHEROUS ENGAGEMENT, and here’s the story-

When you need to wed in a hurry, why not marry the first handsome, wealthy bachelor who comes your way?

Miss Phoebe Duvall’s papa is missing and she and her fragile aunt are in dire need of funds. Employment is one option for the fearless Phoebe, but when she learns she must marry by her twenty-third birthday or forfeit the estate to an odious cousin, there’s only one thing she can do. She must find a job that will introduce her to as many eligible bachelors as possible.

Assisting Charles Addyman with his charitable functions is the perfect answer. But his home, Donhead Castle, is a place of mysteries, not least of which is Addyman’s neighbour, Mr Goodrich. Goodrich swears he’s a friend, but how can Phoebe trust a man who appears as a fop one day, a parson the next, and even attempts to hide from her by pretending to be a statue of a river god?

His earldom and his country are at stake, so he can’t afford to lose his head. Or his heart.

With a sickly sister to support and his family’s honour to restore, Robert Goodrich-Bligh is fighting to regain his earldom. The charming Miss Duvall’s new employer stands in his way but she refuses to help, even when Robert reveals Addyman to be a traitor. When he uncovers her secret, he offers himself as a husband. That way, each can secure their inheritance and give in to their fierce mutual attraction—the ideal solution, surely?

But Robert’s plans are thrown into turmoil when Addyman offers for Phoebe…and she accepts him.

***Offer ended***Immerse yourself in the passions and perils of Regency Bath in today’s FREE Elizabeth Keysian story!

It’s today!!!

“What’s today?” I hear you ask. It’s the day my Regency Romance, A GAME OF HAZARD, is FREE to download from Amazon. For a limited time only, you can get this Regency romp for nothing.

Here’s WHERE- https://www.bklnk.com/B0BSV7187D

and here’s WHY-

There’s a price on her head…

Miss Alexandra Isaacs learned many things at finishing school but how to run a vast smuggling empire wasn’t one of them. She’s desperate to protect this perilous inheritance because so many lives depend on it. However, there’s a traitor in their midst, and Alex must risk exposure to unmask him. There’s external danger, too, in the shape of a clever—not to mention compelling—excise officer. It would be utter folly to allow the captain any closer, but that’s precisely what a blackmailing matchmaker forces Alex to do.

…and he means to claim it.

The reward for capturing the smugglers’ ringleader is hugely tempting to Captain Giles Harewood. His sisters are in dire need of dowries and the Bath Season is in full swing—the perfect opportunity to find husbands for them. But the implacable Lady Pandora Osbourne has other plans for this confirmed bachelor—plans that could destroy all his hopes.

Who will win and who will lose in this deadly game of Hazard?

(N.B. You will already have a copy of this book if you bought The Wedding Wager back in 2022, but you won’t have all the additional information, including a toothsome taster of another tale).

Superbly read by the accomplished British actress, Carmen Rose, here’s what you can expect from the story:

Miss Charlotte Allston is unwittingly ensnared in a sinister web of traitors and spies when she is literally swept off her feet by a handsome stranger on the beach. Fiercely determined to redeem his honor after a humiliating military defeat, the Earl of Beckport is living incognito, hunting a band of smugglers at the center of a French plot to invade England.

The enigmatic Miss Allston instantly becomes a person of interest to the earl…and not just in the smuggling case. Passion flares swift and hot between the two. But when her attempts to help with his secret mission only endanger it, he must question where her loyalty truly lies.

Stunned by the sudden revelation that the woman he is falling for is the daughter of a notorious smuggler, Beckport feels duty-bound to report her. But then Charlotte is captured by the very traitor he’s after, forcing the earl to decide between redemption…and love.
