Bachelors of Blackstone's

A reluctant guardian. A resolute spinster. A battle of wills destined to unravel into love. Edward Halstead expected peace and quiet, not guardianship. But when his fallen comrade's daughter becomes his responsibility, his bachelor sanctuary at Briarwood House is soon invaded by a bright, headstrong young lady and her even more formidable aunt. Miss Felicity Price has spent years protecting her niece from the world's indifference, and she has no intention of leaving Daphne in the hands of a stoic, tightly buttoned gentleman who mistakes duty for affection. If Edward believes he can simply provide a roof, a chaperone, and a swift march to the altar, he is about to meet his match. What begins as a clash of philosophies becomes something far more complicated. Beneath their sparring over curfews, suitors, propriety, and the proper amount of sugar in a tea tray, Felicity and Edward discover an inconvenient pull of their own. As Daphne's debut approaches and Edward's past resurfaces in unexpected ways, both guardian and aunt must face what they truly want, for the girl they love and for themselves. Filled with sparkling banter, slow-growing tenderness, and mature characters who deserve a second chance at happiness, A Bachelor's Lessons in Love works beautifully as part of the Bachelors of Blackstone series or entirely on its own. Slip on your headphones, settle in, and let this charming Regency romance sweep you away. Your next favorite love story begins here.

Fortune brought him back to England. Misfortune brought them together. Cecily Bradshaw has despised Nash Markham since before they met. His captivating smile and overdone charms might blind others from the insufferable tease he is, but not Cecily. Only once, in the naïveté of youth, did her resolve momentarily falter, and she is determined it will never happen again. Especially not when, years after their first meeting, Nash returns to England a wealthier and even more devastatingly handsome gentleman than when he left. Nash Markham has always been a man of remarkable good fortune, except where it concerns Cecily. It is not that he dislikes his fiery adversary, for he finds her utterly intriguing and an absolute delight to vex, but upon his return from India, she seems to have determined that he is the most tiresome man in all of England. No, in all the world over. But when Nash's luck takes a drastic and sudden downturn, it is Cecily he must rely on to help him restore his reputation before all he's built is lost. As reliance gives way to a mutual affinity, the adversaries question if their match of misfortune is actually a fortuitous stroke of luck or if it will ultimately prove their downfall. ***** A Match of Misfortune is a sweet, kisses-only Regency romance with lots of laughs and swoon. The Bachelors of Blackstone's series can be enjoyed in any order.

Worse still, she enlists his help in navigating society, asking him to introduce her to the very men who could take her away from him.

Sober and focused for the first time in his life, he plans to expose the earl's corruption and reclaim his good name. Nothing will stand in his way-until he meets her. Lady Eugenia Stanich has never truly known a father's love. The Earl of Goodwin may be a revered figure in society, but to Geny, he is a distant shadow, more invested in power than in family. The Foundling Asylum that bears her father's name is the one place where Geny feels a connection to the mother she lost years ago. If she marries, it would be to a man who shares her devotion to the children, but London's gentlemen see charity as a pastime, not a calling. Then the new supervisor arrives, and Geny dares to hope she has met someone different. As John and Geny grow closer, desire sparks and hearts entwine, but the truth looms between them. If Lady Eugenia discovers that John is not who he claims to be-and worse, that he is using the asylum to destroy her father-he will lose more than his chance at redemption. He will lose the only woman who has ever inspired him to be a better man. * Perfect for fans of clean Regency romance which features reformed rakes-and for those who delight in the slow burn romance of forbidden love and hidden identities.
