New Romance Release - The Last Bride Standing

An arranged marriage between a sniper and a romantic. A cottage on Long Island. A leaky roof, a rat and yet only one thing will tear them apart.

Delphine Butterwick is the last of the four friends who grew up together in Brooklyn Foundling Home to be married off, and this time the bride is wed to a man she barely remembers. Captain Thomas Morrow has turned up to grimly do his duty and go through with the marriage arranged for them when they were children.

For Delphine who lives and breathes romance, Morrow is not what she had in mind when she declared a knight-in-shining armor was coming to whisk her away. 

Tom is equally unimpressed with his future bride. He's a serious soldier with a great purpose and she is an insensible dreamer who believes everything will simply work out.

To Have and To Hold, the last in the Foundling Brides of Brooklyn Series is available on Amazon (0.99) and in Kindle Unlimited.

A girl on the brink of ending it all. A surgeon in need of a miracle. A marriage of convenience unites them until a secret divides them.

A Gilded Age novella series from Constance Kent:

Claire Jefferson was the least likely of the Brooklyn Foundling Home orphans to find a husband. Suffering debilitating pain, she's finally had enough when Dr. Benjamin Braithwaite arrives to examine her. Braithwaite is a brillant surgeon who failed spectacularly when a patient died during a surgical procedure viewed by a packed theater of observers. Claire submits to his experimental surgical technique and falls in love with the tall, quiet widower. 

When Braithwaite proposes marriage for the sake of her full recovery and to provide a mother for his young son, Claire enthusiastically enters into a marriage of convenience, believing she knows everything about her new husband.

 A Marriage in Name Only Romance

She wants to find her parents. He wants to save the family estate. Neither wants marriage, but in 1890 New York, it is the only choice they are given.

A Gilded Age novella series from Constance Kent:

Lilly Gryce has been a thorn in the side of Brooklyn Foundling Home for seven years. So when wealthy Julius Thorley comes seeking a bride in name only to protect his assets from bankruptcy, Lilly is put forward as a candidate.

Julius wants a bride, yes, but the headstrong hellcat he is shown--though she is beautiful--won't pass muster in old New York society. Lilly is equally unimpressed by the pedigree of her future husband--though he is remarkably handsome. 

Julius makes her a deal. He will reunite Lilly with her long-lost parents if she can pass for a society debutante long enough to save the Thorley estate. 

Lilly will give anything to see her parents again. She did not expect the price would be her heart.

Cover Refresh and Read An Ebook Week March 6 - 12!

 

Hello lovely people!

We had no idea how much we liked seeing people until we couldn't see people by order of the Health Department.

It is snowing heavily outside our window and it's hard to believe spring will ever return - or normal life - or peace on Earth - but it will. In the meantime, we have books to read. 

Much of this month was spent pondering the direction of romance cover art and consequently, we took a bold move in redesigning the covers for Constance Kent's Victorian Villains Saga. They have a broody gothic vibe that is fresh and right for a contemporary readership. Check them out on the Victorian Villains page and please let us know what you think! 

We were influenced by some change-makers in the genre, Julia Quinn's covers being one, to take the leap away from the style of forty years ago and into the present. Every series got a refresh and we're pretty happy with the result. 

The other exciting event on the horizon is Read An Ebook Week on Smashwords from March 6 to March 12, 2022.

This incredible sale of ebooks in every genre and sub-genre imaginable attracts thousands of readers each year from all over the globe. 

Evelyn Ellis has enrolled Forbidden, Passion, Obsession and Cherry Pop into the sale. Get your copies for free using the coupon Smashwords provides at the checkout. 

Constance Kent has enrolled new titles this time around. Come, Let Me Hold You and Come Let Me Love You is contemporary New Adult romance. Click on the American Gothic Contemporary Romance tab in the header to learn more about this new series of standalone fiction. 

Two of the three titles in Miss Kent's new medieval erotic romance, Mortain and Bedwyr Novella Trilogy are enrolled. Hidden in the Shadows and Whispers in the Fog are free with a coupon. But you'll have to buy the third novella, Revealed in the Mist to see how it all works out. Hah! We're evil.

Hey, it's a BOGO plus one!  Buy One, Get Two Free.

 WINDEMERE HALL: Victorian Gothic Romance

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Shy, stammering Clara Hamilton is shocked when her father announces her betrothal to a cousin she barely knows. Her uncle’s stepson, Branson Hamilton is handsome, avaricious and rumoured to be unstable. Nineteen-year-old Clara, anxious for her father’s approval, agrees to the union unaware of what is at stake. A sinister family secret surfaces and Clara soon discovers that the master of Windemere Hall has a dark revenge in store when she enters into his power.

ABOUT THE SERIES:

Windemere Hall launches Constance Kent’s Victorian Villains Saga. Set in 1867 England, four villainous men, cursed by their fathers, follow their legacy of greed, murder, lust and pride. Four young women who dare to love them, break with propriety to follow their hearts into dark and dangerous realms, risking all to have it all. The saga is steamy, written for a contemporary audience in the gothic tradition of romance and suspense. 

Gothic Romance like no other.
