Dear Reader,
One could scarcely believe it unless one saw it, and fortunately, several very reliable tongues have already begun wagging. This author has it on the highest authority the Duke of Crane, society’s most recluse duke, on the road to London!
Should ladies ready their fans?
Not yet, I’m afraid. He was spotted traveling with a lady yet unknown!
This author needs your help, dear reader, so help spot this elusive duke again. Should you catch a glimpse of a tall, raven-haired gentleman with a stare dark enough to send hearts aflutter, do send word at once.
Carriage wheels turn, secrets rattle, and London waits with breath bated.
Keep your eyes sharp, dear reader. A shadow has left its haunt, and wherever he goes, scandal is certain to follow.
Your Devoted Gossipmonger
Beauty and the Lyon
A heart hidden in shadows. A beauty who dares to see.
Eternal optimist Lady Rosilee Fairchild refuses to let fate—or scheming rogues—dictate her future. When her brother is tricked into gambling away their estate and held prisoner by a ruthless man determined to force her into marriage, she takes matters into her own hands. Her solution? Find a husband of her own choosing before one can be chosen for her. And there’s only one place daring enough to help her do it without question—Mrs. Dove-Lyon’s infamous matchmaking den.
Hardened recluse Blake Faiththorne, Duke of Crane, has long been withdrawn from society, content to live in the shadows of his past. But when he learns that the woman who once saved him is now in danger herself—not only menaced by the worst sort of ruffian but on her way to the Lyon’s Den, a place dripping in scandal—he cannot stand idly by.
There is only one, big problem—though Blake has vowed never to marry himself, helping Rosilee find a husband leaves a bitter taste in his mouth. She is a flame in the dark, and he, despite all reason, is doomed to seek her radiance.
Can he break free from his haunted past and claim the woman who has always been his light? Or will old wounds and new dangers keep them apart forever?

About Tanya Wilde:

Wilde lives in a town at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains, South Africa.
Recently, one Seth Caulfield, boldly bearing the earl’s surname, appeared in London wearing the uniform of a naval officer of sorts. One gathered he bore the rank of surgeon, a warranted rank, not one of a gentleman to be sure. He had the look of a Caulfield about him, however, and no sooner than he had appeared than he was welcomed to the earl’s table and given full support. It appeared that another one of the, if you’ll pardon our language, Clarion Bastards has appeared on the scene. (I apologize if ladies take offense but we do like to speak the truth, and the man is well, not legitimate at all.)
About the Story
To Lady Charlene Fielding.
It is not every day that a bride, standing before her seamstress in satin and lace, finds her past walking through the very door. Yet that is precisely what befell Miss Mary Ann, a young lady of impeccable breeding and, if society whispers are to be believed, unyielding devotion.
