The Shocking Lord Standon (Those Scandalous Ravenhursts 3) Gareth Morant, Lord Standon might be contemplating a match with childhood friend Lady Maude Templeton with dismay, but it was not until he found his arms full of the naked form of Miss Jessica Gifford, respectable governess in a fix, that the solution to his problems presented itself to him - a solution that forced the respectable earl to become a shocking rake, all for a good cause. (Published in the UK by Mills & Boon, September 2008)

The Rebellious Bride by Francesca Shaw (to be published in the UK by Mills & Boon in the Regency Lords & Ladies series.

Those Scandalous Ravenhursts
Seven cousins – the grandchildren of the Duke of Allington – are at the heart of six stories charting their sometimes rocky, and always scandalous, paths to true love.  Dangerous Jack, Outrageous Bel, Shocking Gareth, Disgraceful Theo (not forgetting Bluestocking Elinor), Notorious Eden and Piratical Clemence are filling my head at the moment as they come to life for me in six very different stories. (Publication details to be announced)
