Midnight Quill

A tale of forbidden love between a young countess and her servant. Rose, the Countess Malmstoke, is trapped in a violent marriage. Escape seems impossible-until her horse groom Will Fenmore offers to help her. As they plan Rose's escape, the boundary between mistress and servant blurs. Is the future they both dream of possible?

Matilda Chapple is penniless, orphaned, and dependent on her uncle's meager charity-but she's found a way to escape: she'll write her way to financial freedom. When Mattie pens a series of titillating short stories, she starts earning money... and notoriety. Her secret is safe-until Waterloo veteran, Edward Kane, agrees to uncover the anonymous author's identity. Can Mattie conceal the secret of her scandalous writings, or will Edward discover that the virginal spinster and the risqué authoress are one and the same person?

A lesson in love... Sir Gareth Locke lost an arm at Waterloo. He's in love with his new bride-but he's dreading their wedding night. He knows it will be an ordeal: clumsy, awkward, and mortifying. Cecily Locke knows what to expect in the marriage bed-after all, she's been married once before. It will be uncomfortable and a little messy, but over quickly enough. But Cecily and Gareth are about to have a wedding night that neither of them expects... **The Baronet's Bride is a novella of approximately 15,000 words. It is a direct sequel to The Spinster's Secret and features some of the characters in that novel. For the best reader experience it should be read after The Spinster's Secret. **
