Book 6 in the Academy of Love Series

Intrepid young newspaperwoman Lorelei Fontenot went looking for the truth. She’s about to find far more than she bargained for…

Investigating London’s most infamous rogue for a seedy newspaper is hardly Lori’s dream job. But if that’s what it takes to break into publishing, so be it. She’ll uncover the sexy nobleman’s deepest, darkest secrets. It’s just her misfortune that she’ll have to peek into his bedroom windows—at his brothel, no less—to do it…

Lord Stand Fast Severn, heir to the Marquess of Granton, needs answers. Contrary to what the ton believes, he didn’t drive his twin brother to kill himself. But finding the man who did might be tricky. Especially with a nosy—and dangerously fascinating—journalist plaguing his every move. But when her investigation lands her neck-deep in danger, Fast knows it’s up to him to protect her.

The last thing Lori wants is the handsome rake’s protection. Especially when it means being kidnapped and held in his brothel like a prisoner.

But if Lori wants to get away from him so badly, then why isn’t she trying very hard to escape?

Can two enemies, forced into close proximity, write their own story of love?

Only if they can solve a murder before a killer gets to them first…

A Story of Love, book 6 in THE ACADEMY OF LOVE series, is a super spicy and steamy age gap historical romance with a guaranteed happily ever after. Download today and get ready to lose yourself in Lori and Fast’s story.

The Etiquette of Love

Book 7 in THE ACADEMY OF LOVE series is Freddie’s story… finally!

Lady Winifred Graham, the young Dowager Countess of Sedgewick, has already had one husband.

She doesn’t want another.

And if Freddie ever did change her mind on the matter, she most certainly would not marry a ruthless, dominating, and heartless block of ice like the Duke of Plimpton.

The Duke of Plimpton has already had one wife who did not love, or even like, him.

Unfortunately, it seems he will have to take another.

After conducting a dispassionate, meticulous, and thorough examination of the pool of possible duchesses, there is only one real candidate for Plimpton, and that is Lady Winifred Sedgewick.

The fact that she loathes and despises him is irrelevant.

When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object either one of them has to give or they both risk their own destruction.

Or is there a third option?

This is the super steamy, enemies-to-lovers conclusion of THE ACADEMY OF LOVE series. Pre-order your copy today!
