Distinguished Rogues

Introducing Chills, the first installment of the Distinguished Rogues series. Bestselling regency romance author, Heather Boyd, brings readers a lively tale of reckless spending, fraudulent correspondence, and the humorous twists and turns of falling for the right rogue… London, 1813 Jack, Marquess of Ettington, is at his wits' end dealing with his twin sister's distress. Under her name, he's summoned Constance Grange, his vexing former ward, to London to act as his sister's companion for the season. Although Pixie's debt-ridden state comes as a complete surprise, what disturbs him more is his sister's plan to find her a wealthy husband to pay off her overwhelming debts. And-despite his availability, wealth and title-he's shocked to be overlooked for the position of Pixie's husband. With a nickname like Pixie, Constance Grange should be used to disasters, but debt collectors pounding on the Marquess of Ettington's door demanding payment is beyond mortifying. Given the precarious state of her finances and the previously unknown loss of her family estate, her choices are either incarceration in debtors' prison or turning fortune hunter to secure a wealthy husband. Yet the man who comes to her rescue more times than she cares to think about is unavailable, betrothed, and her former guardian Jack-the cold-hearted marquess.Distinguished Rogues Series Book 1: Chills (Jack and Constance)Book 2: Broken (Giles and Lillian)Book 3: Charity (Oscar and Agatha)Book 4: An Accidental Affair (Merrick and Arabella)Book 5: Keepsake (Kit and Miranda)Book 6: An Improper Proposal (Martin and Iris)Book 7: Reason to Wed (Richard and Esme)Book 8: The Trouble with Love (Everett and Whitney)Book 9: Married by Moonlight (Gilbert and Anna)Book 10: Lord of Sin (Julian and Portia)Book 11: The Duke's Heart (Sinclair and Kitty)Book 12: Romancing the Earl (Price and Lenore)Book 13: One Enchanted Christmas (Otis and Meg)Book 14: Desire by Design (Alexander and Sylvia)Book 15: His Perfect Bride (Harry and Ophelia)Book 16: Pleasures of the Night

Drew Finch, Lord Sullivan, has spent two years searching for a bride…though in truth, his quest has not been in earnest. Having lost his first wife and son in childbirth, he's a shell of a man, in no hurry to see his beloved replaced by another. With increasing pressure from his father to do his duty to the family, Drew seeks out the help of an acquaintance, Miss Hillcrest, to aid him in making a match. He's long been her admirer…but he never planned to fall for the matchmaker herself. For reasons known to very few, Aurora Hillcrest feels like a fraud, passing herself off as a lady amongst the ton. With her dear cousins now married, and no plans to wed herself, she feels adrift and in need of a purpose. Then Lord Sullivan asks for her aid. She's keenly aware no lady wishes to compete with a ghost, and Drew hasn't so much as kissed a woman in years. To that end, she suggests he ease himself back into intimacy by taking a lover…but she never planned to find herself conscripted for the task. Passion blazes between them in secret, and before long, Drew is proposing…many times over. But Aurora's refusal is adamant, for reasons she won't share. Reason that, should he ever learn of them, might harden Drew's heart to Aurora forever.Yours Until Dawn is a full-length steamy regency historical romance novel.

She's nothing but a common thief…and her next target is the Earl of Scarsdale's heart. Orphaned as a child and left in her uncle's care, Marian Trill has known only a life of crime. Criss-crossing the countryside, she aids her uncle and his small troupe of thieves in conning well-to-do travelers…until one handsome mark catches her eye. Marian has no business betraying her only family for this gentleman's safety…just as she has no business following Danny all the way to his country estate to return a valuable ring he left behind. Daniel, Earl of Scarsdale, is returning home after years of avoiding the inevitable-marrying his neighbor's daughter. He'd hoped to wed for love, but having failed at that venture, it's time he took his duties seriously, even if it means settling for a woman more to his mother's liking than his own. He didn't count on the beguiling thief he met on the road following him home-nor on his scheming granny inviting her to stay as her companion.No Ordinary Lady is a full-length regency historical romance novel.
