From New York Times bestselling author Lauren Royal comes the first novel in her beloved series featuring the "outrageously funny, loyal, compassionate, and unconventional" Chase family. Descended from generations of jewelers, Amethyst Goldsmith loves her craft nearly as much as she loves her family. But she hates that her wedding is mere days away. Amy is promised to her father's small-minded apprentice, the last man on earth she could ever love, honor, or especially obey. But the date is set, the dress is ordered, and there's no way out-until the devastating Great Fire of 1666 sweeps through London, shattering her workaday world and recasting her fate... Colin Chase, the Earl of Greystone, doesn't believe in fate. He believes in hard work and securing his family's future, which means marrying the wealthy, high-born Lady Priscilla Snobs-er, Hobbs. When he rescues a lowly jeweler's daughter from the inferno, he's only taking pity on a broken young woman. But as the pieces begin to mend, Amy emerges. Beautiful, passionate, playful Amy, who maddeningly captures his family's hearts. Soon Colin fears that if he lets his guard down for even a moment, he might find his own heart held hostage as well... Snowed in together at empty, crumbling Greystone Castle, an earl and a common girl can't help surrendering to desire. But when the dream is over and reality catches up with them, can they find a way to make their two worlds one? PLEASE NOTE: This book was formerly titled "Amethyst."

When an Earl Meets a Girl

♥ A swoon-worthy scientist ♥ A nearsighted wallflower ♥ A matchmaking mama ♥ A Royal Society ball ♥ Sweet romance! Another irresistible romance from New York Times bestselling author Lauren Royal and her daughter, featuring their "outrageously funny, loyal, and endearing" Chase family! Lady Violet Ashcroft grew up sheltered in the countryside, far from the dashing gentlemen of the court-and that's how she likes it. Here on her family's beautiful, quiet estate, she needn't fight off suitors who are only after her sizable inheritance, or play second fiddle to her prettier younger sisters. Love and marriage aren't for everyone, and sensible Violet would rather spend her days reading and improving her mind than risking her heart. Until a rather dashing gentleman shows up next door... Ford Chase, Viscount Lakefield, has had it with women. Who's got time for them, anyway, when there's important work to be done? Fresh out of Oxford, Ford is ready to devise his first world-changing invention. All he needs is some peace and quiet on his neglected country estate, where there is no family to nag him and, most especially, no women to distract him-until he's thrown into the company of the intriguing Lady Violet...

The Viscount's Wallflower Bride

A Duke’s Guide to Seducing His Bride

♥ A sexy nobleman with a dark past ♥ A debutante with a flawless reputation ♥ A compromising embrace ♥ A close-knit, meddling family ♥ Steamy Regency romance! From New York Times bestselling author Lauren Royal comes the first novel in her beloved Regency series featuring the “outrageously funny, loyal, compassionate, and unconventional” Chase family. The eldest of three sisters, Lady Alexandra Chase has always done what was expected of her. But when the man she's loved since her girlhood returns from a long spell abroad, she quite suddenly finds herself hoping the fine lord her brother has picked for her won't propose. She decides that if he does, she'll quite improperly turn him down—that is, until the man of her hopes and dreams informs her he has no intention of marrying her. The last time Tristan Nesbitt saw Alexandra, he was a common man with no hope of ever wedding the daughter of a marquess. Seven years later, he's now Lord Hawkridge, which should make him eminently suitable for the woman who long ago captured his heart. But a dreadful scandal has tarnished his name in England—a scandal so horrid that marrying Alexandra would ruin not only her flawless reputation but her whole family. For Alexandra's own good, he must fight his relentless desires and stay far away...

Violet

A Top 10 Bestseller from a New York Times Bestselling Author! England, 1677 Lily Ashcroft is far and away the most conventional member of her eccentric family. Though she fell for dashing Oxford professor Lord Randal Nesbitt at the tender age of sixteen, she buried her feelings in deference to society's expectation that her older sisters marry first. Four years later, her sister Rose has now set her sights on Rand--and though it breaks her heart, what else can Lily do but help her beloved sister land the man of her dreams? What no one considers are Rand's feelings on the matter. He's been nursing a secret affection for sweet, compassionate Lily ever since their first meeting. But Rose is just as beautiful and shares his academic interests. Now he finds himself caught between two lovely sisters--the one he's expected to wed and the one who's captured his heart...

Seeing my words in print was a thrill! But everyone told me it's too hard for novelists to get published, so after college I spent fourteen years as the CEO of my own jewelry store chain before writing my first book. A mistake? Maybe...but my first heroine, Amethyst, was a jeweler, so at least I took advantage of that wise old saying, "Write what you know." And I learned a good lesson: Don't let other people tell you what you can or can't do! I write humorous historical romance mostly set in England and Scotland in the 17th and 19th centuries (Restoration and Regency periods). I've been oh-so-lucky to see my books hit bestseller lists all over the world, including the New York Times and USA Today lists, making this second career a real dream...

Lily

England, 1667 Sensible Clarice Bradford is content in her widowhood. She has a pretty one-room cottage and a lovely little daughter, and the last thing she wants is another husband. Until one fairytale evening when she's invited to a wedding at a castle... Scottish gentleman Sir Cameron Leslie is smitten with the shy, English beauty at first sight. He's fiercely drawn to the very strength and independence that make her unwilling to throw caution to the wind and bestow her heart on a younger man. Though passion flares between them, it will take everything Cameron can muster to reawaken Clarice's long-forgotten dreams of true love... ~~~~~ PLEASE NOTE: This Chase Family Series novella is a short novel--about 1/4 the length of Lauren's full-length novels. In other words, it's longer than a short story, but shorter than a typical book. Forevermore stands alone as a complete story, but if you'd prefer to read it in order within the trilogy, chronologically it falls between Emerald and Amber.
