When an Earl Meets a Girl

Devon Royal

The Earl's London Bride

England & Scotland, 1668: Kendra Chase's brothers are telling her it's high time she get married. But although they've presented her with many wealthy, titled suitors, no man has caught her fancy--until her coach is held up by a dashing, mysterious highwayman. When she and the dangerous man are caught in a compromising embrace and her overprotective brothers insist they wed, Kendra cannot believe it. Are they really desperate enough to match her with an outlaw? Patrick "Trick" Caldwell is the Duke of Amberley--and also the notorious Black Highwayman, an identity he has assumed in order to right past wrongs and serve his king. But his already complicated life becomes positively convoluted when he finds himself compelled to marry a red-headed temptress he's only just met. Caught in a web of half-truths and forced into a perilous mission, can Trick extricate himself and find love with the woman destined to steal his heart?

Amber

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. Special Author's Cut Edition A novella of approximately 25,000 words (about 100 printed book pages) R-rated content: explicit love scenes Originally published by Penguin Putnam (Signet) This Author's Cut Edition e-book has been completely revised from the original and includes Bonus Material, including an author's note, a sneak preview of Lauren's next book, and a link to an online contest where you can enter to win a piece of jewelry featured in the book.

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...

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...

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.
