Welcome to Book One of my humorous, matchmaking Scandalous Miss Brightwells series!

I hope your smelling salts are on hand! This naughty Regency romp spares no details in its honest portrayal of how wicked and lively Fanny and Antoinette Brightwell made their rags-to-riches marriages and became darlings of the English aristocracy?

How did it all begin?

The path to true love does not run smoothly for dowerless and disgraced Miss Fanny Brightwell as she emerges from exile to hurl herself upon a London quite unprepared for her single-minded determination to find a husband to please herself.

For, indeed, matchmaking mamas bent on mercurially-motivated mesalliances are the order of the day in Rake’s Honour.

Not that any obstacle ever stood in the way of canny Fanny Brightwell achieving her aim.

But, dear reader, while we know that romance novels and wedding bells go hand in hand, you can rest assured that every over-confident rake, every dizzy debutante, and every spurned suitor bent on revenge, will get the comeuppance they truly deserve by the end of this sizzling first-in-series.

And that our bold, beautiful, brazen heroine can declare, with hand on heaving bosom, that the greatest gamble of her young life, taken to—supposedly— please her exacting mama, really paid off.

What the readers say:

★★★★★ "What a splendid book! I loved every moment of it… I was delighted by their torrid and passionate meetings. And the end... made me burst out laughing. It rocks!” BookedUp Reviews: 5 Stars

Reader Advisory: This steamy Regency is not for the faint-hearted as Fanny Brightwell is prepared to risk everything to save herself from a lifetime attending to Great Aunt Seraphina's chilblains or massaging lecherous Lord Slyther’s gargantuan ego – amongst other things.
