Whispers of Scandal and Suspense

On May 7, 2025

Dearest readers,

Sharpen your fan edges and pour the tea strong, for last evening’s events at Lady A’s illustrious Mayfair residence have left tongues wagging and reputations teetering!

The occasion, purportedly held in honor of none other than Her Royal Highness, Princess T von H-S, promised a night of elegance and refinement. But where Lady A entertains, drama and readers often overshadow refinement, and she does not disappoint.

The arrival of the honoured guests was enough to set hearts fluttering and monocles dropping. Prince S, with his usual flair for excess, made a royal fuss of his entrance in a gilded coat that blinded every poor soul within ten feet. He was flanked by his dashing brother, Prince A, and the ethereal Princess T, who could induce envy simply by breathing. A trio worthy of every gossip in the room, to be sure.

Now, one might expect Princess T to charm her way across the ballroom floor with every eligible lord and viscount in the Ton. But no, dear readers, our princess had other plans. To the great shock (and likely despair) of many titled mothers and their hopeful progeny, she danced exclusively with a certain Dr. A F. Yes, you heard that correctly, a doctor from Italy, whose sole claim to fame thus far seems to be his deft hand in orthopedics. If his skill in the ballroom is half as precise as his scalpel, I daresay he’ll have a future flock of patients from the Ton on his hands.

As if the sight of a princess monopolizing a mere physician were not enough to keep tongues wagging, pray brace yourselves for the truly scandalous tidbit of the night. There was, of all things, a poisoning at the ball! It was all kept very secret but I shall, dear readers, not rest until I find out who the victim was.

Ah, Lady A. How could one fail to notice that this so-called celebration of Princess T had all the grace of a well-aimed dagger. Our hostess, known for her sharp intellect and even sharper sense of family, was using the occasion to stake her newfound alliances with prominent personages. Not only has she aligned herself with Prince S and Princess T, but also with the mysterious and reputable doctors of Harley Street. One cannot help but wonder if alliances forged in secret will soon cast shadows over the Ton. Her revenge upon society may not yet be written in ink, but readers, the quill is poised.

Still, the night concluded with an announcement of great importance, though its details remain shrouded. Dearest readers, I shall find out. Until then, hold tightly to your secrets—for it seems Mayfair’s glittering exteriors hide venomous hearts aplenty.

Yours Indiscreetly,
An Anonymous Observer

The scent of trouble stirs the air

By Alina K. Field

On April 23, 2025

In Teatime Tattler

Dear Reader,

This humble gossip column has it on the highest authority that a certain lady known for her outspoken boldness and unshakable glint of trouble in her eye is dead set on exacting revenge upon a certain earl who has risked his grandfather’s legacy on a hairbrained wager. Yes, the one that involves him to find a wife or else.

What unfolds promises to be an unstoppable gallop on a racetrack that will collide with sharp tongues, sharper secrets, and a reckoning no amount of lace or lies can soften.

So, clutch your pearls, dear reader.

It seems the dear earl in question has found himself tangled not only in the strings of matrimony’s clock but also in the silken web of our bold lady’s schemes. Whispers suggest the lady in question is armed with not only her wit but also a most curious ally. A certain gentleman of questionable repute has been spotted at her side, offering up his infamous talents in orchestrating chaos. Could this be a plot to ensure the earl’s courtship attempts end in a spectacular disaster? Or might their collaboration uncover secrets that even this ink-and-quill columnist dares not yet write?

And as for the race to the altar, one cannot help but notice the parade of hopeful maidens fluttering in the background, like moths drawn to a rather perilous flame. Among them, sharp-eyed observers claim, is one whose grasp on the earl’s attention seems more solid than the others’. But caution, sweet reader, for where one heart might warm, another’s icy precision may strike. Could this gentle miss be as innocent as she seems, or is there more to her charm than meets the eye? Ah, the stage is set, and the players are primed. Rest assured, this gambit will unfold with all the drama and spectacle one might wish for during the Season.

The fallout might just scatter the ton into scandalous pieces, or perhaps, more thunderously, shatter only the hearts of those caught in its wickedly delicious snare.

Are you ready?

And never say, I didn’t warn you.

~~~

Dare To Tempt An Earl This Spring

She plans revenge. He wagers his future. But neither bets on love.

Lady Ashley never imagined she’d lose the love of her life because of a heartless wager. And she knows exactly who to blame for her heartbreak. Thomas, the Earl of Linsey, has it all—wealth, prestige, good looks, and his prized thoroughbred horses. Determined to exact her own kind of justice, Ashley hatches a daring scheme to steal the one thing he values most. But as she enters his world, she discovers an infuriatingly charming man with unruly wit and a passion that stirs something deep within her. The closer she gets to stealing his horses, the harder it becomes to shield her heart.

Thomas, the irresistible Earl of Linsey, is a man bound by secrets and a wager that will change his life. If he doesn’t marry before his 25th birthday, he’ll lose more than his dignity to a ruthless rival. But even as time passes, he focuses on preparing his horses for the Royal Ascot. That is, until Ashley saunters into his life. With her sharp tongue and undeniable allure, she’s both the distraction he doesn’t need and the woman who ignites a fire he can’t ignore. Yet Thomas begins to suspect Ashley has ulterior motives, and untangling her secrets may cost him more than his treasured horses.

Their battle of wits sparks undeniable passion, but when deception and betrayal come to light, will Thomas and Ashley risk it all for a love they never saw coming?

Step into a world of glittering ballrooms, fiery attraction, and scandalous secrets in the first book of this steamy Regency romance series by #1 bestselling authors Sara Adrien and Tanya Wilde. Perfect for fans of enemies to lovers, sizzling romance, and the thrill of sweet revenge.

A Royal Scandal on Harley Street: Secrets, Shadows, and Stolen Glances

By Alina K. Field

On April 2, 2025

In Teatime Tattler

Dearest Readers,

I bring you the following most interesting letter from a correspondent:

Dear Mr. Clemens,

The streets of London are buzzing, and one cannot help but be drawn to the peculiar activity surrounding the esteemed practice on Harley Street (I shall not mention the exact address). While this column exists to inform, amuse, and, dare I say, tease, even my pen trembles at the sumptuous scandal unfolding.

It all began with whispers of a new arrival, a woman shrouded in mystery and appearing at the most respectable hours for reasons unknown. Clad in garments far simpler than her bearing suggests, this “governess” is none other than Princess T of [ahem] well, that would be telling, wouldn’t it? Yes, dear readers, you heard correctly! A runaway royal walking among us common folk. But why, pray tell, is she under the good Doctor A F’s protection?

As you all know, our dear Dr. F has been the subject of many admiring glances across the ton. With his Mediterranean charm, untouchable skill, and the kind of brooding look that one only acquires from keeping secrets, he has won hearts and healed bodies alike. But this? Keeping company with a princess on the run? Could it be that he holds connections to her royal House, ties so strong they tether her to his doorstep? Or perhaps the answer is more passionate than political.

And what of the cherubic little girl who accompanies Princess T? While she is far more interested in spinning hoops than courting scandal, the true question remains. Is she a mere ward under T’s care… or could she be of royal blood? Whispers suggest the princess gave up more than her tiara in her flight from duty. Could this child be her greatest secret yet? How scandalous it would be if a royal heir were hidden among London’s cobblestone streets!

This arrangement raises more questions than answers, yet one thing remains certain: Princess T and Dr. F’s connection is far from ordinary. Simple acts of medical care do not explain the stolen glances between the two at odd hours of the day… and, dare I say, night. For one who has long preserved his spotless reputation, the good doctor seems to be teetering on the edge of propriety. Is he her savior, her confidant, or perhaps something far more thrilling to my quill? Surely the gentle press of his hand as he guides her into his practice is not just medical assistance.

But beware, dear hearts, for shadowed figures have been seen prowling nearby. Villains on the scent of a fugitive royal? Or another twisted piece of this tangled thread? One cannot say, but rest assured, the game afoot is as dangerous as it is delectable.

This column shall remain vigilant, for secrets like these have a way of unraveling. Until then, keep your parasols high, your ears pricked, and your hearts braced. For when forbidden love meets a society teeming with judgment, one must always expect fireworks.

Yours in observation and mischief,
An anonymous friend from across the street.

A Touch of Charm

Her love is forbidden. His secrets are unforgiveable. But their hearts will risk everything… Welcome to Miracles on Harley Street, where love defies society’s rules.

Dr. Andre Fernando has poured his heart and soul into healing others at the renowned 87 Harley Street practice. To his colleagues, he is the handsome Italian doctor with unmatched skill, but only Andre knows the painful secret he keeps—a truth that bars him from claiming the life he truly wants. When a nighttime highwayman attack thrusts Princess Thea into his arms, his carefully constructed world begins to crack. Escorting her to safety is one thing—but falling for the spirited woman desperate to escape her royal chains may cost him all he’s worked for.

An impossible love in a world that won’t allow it.

Princess Thea ran away from an unwanted betrothal and thought she’d escaped. Hoping she’d abandoned a crown for freedom, hiding as a governess, she doesn’t realize that the villains followed her. But when a dangerous encounter lands her in the care of a stunningly selfless—albeit frustratingly loyal—doctor, she falls for his calm strength and piercing kindness. As Andre’s brilliance and his tender kisses set her ablaze, can Thea fight for this impossible love and still escape the chains of her royal station?

He doesn’t just see her title; he sees the woman beneath the disguise—the woman she wants to be.

Their connection is unmistakable, their passion undeniable. But every stolen moment comes at a cost. Secrets threaten to destroy them; danger looms with every heartbeat. Beneath the weight of society’s rules and the pull of duty, their hearts forge a bond that defies reason.

But danger looms over every step they take. As she faces threatening villains and his secret looms, their fragile love comes at high stakes.

Forbidden love. Dangerous secrets. A passion that demands to be free—step into a world of the doctors on Harley Street where intrigue, irresistible attraction, and a circle of doctors bound by loyalty set hearts ablaze with hope.

This is the third book in the Miracles on Harley Street series, perfect for fans of steamy Regency romances featuring forbidden love, swoon-worthy doctors, and secret identities among aristocracy.Read in Kindle Unlimited!

A Tale That Has All of London Abuzz

By Alina K. Field

On February 5, 2025

In Teatime Tattler

My dear and delightful readers,

Brace yourselves, for your faithful servant has uncovered a most deliciously shocking tale that has all of London abuzz. Whispers ripple through the drawing rooms of Mayfair to the cobblestones of Covent Garden, all concerning none other than Lady M T.

Yes, that Lady M—the older T sister, infamous for her refusal to lower herself to the tedious rules of high society. It would seem dear M has found herself entangled in a web of intrigue thicker than the Prince Regent’s waistcoat.

The first morsel of gossip to be devoured is this—our rebellious Lady has reportedly caught the eye of His Royal Highness himself! A summons to the very halls of St. James has reached her dainty hands, extended in no less than what this columnist supposes is the Regent’s quest to claim her as his newest…companion. But here lies the rub, darlings. Despite the luxuries and lofty status associated with such a position, it is not, it seems, the Regent’s chambers that set her heart aflutter. No, no—Lady M’s passions appear to be directed elsewhere entirely.

And who, you ask, is the dark horse in this tale of tangled hearts? Why, none other than Mr. J S. The dashing, brooding figure once occupying the dukedom of D, now resigned to a life of quiet despair. Or so we thought. Lady M certainly sees no despair in him! This budding affection, I am told, has all the luminosity of a flame refusing to extinguish.

But dare I suggest, conflict and peril lie ahead? For what hope does a titleless Mr. S have of winning the lady when his greatest rival is none other than the ruler of the realm?

Yet, if there is a shred of hope for this passionate pair, it rests in the hands of the illustrious Mrs. D-L—a woman one should never call merely a matchmaker. Lady M has been seen arriving at the Mrs. D.L’s establishment at the oddest hours, with a mischievous kitten perched precariously upon her shoulder. Is it only matchmaking that she seeks within those walls? Or perhaps something far more daring? This columnist wouldn’t dream of speculating. (Oh, who am I fooling? Of course, I shall!)

Rumors whisper that Lady M, with Mrs. D-L at her side, is weaving a plan so scandalous it could upend the social order of London altogether. But to what end? To free herself from His Royal Highness’ advances? To secure her chance at happiness with the enigmatic Mr. S? Or might a larger secret be at stake—one tied to the D family collapsing dukedom that no one dare speak of aloud? Oh, my dearest readers, the questions pile higher than the overtrimmed bonnets at Almack’s!

Before I conclude, one last detail tickles this writer’s fancy, for the perilously curious shall adore this tidbit. Mr. S, long thought to have locked his heart away after a certain tragic chapter of his past, has been seen by my sources stealing glances at Lady M. One heartbroken hero, one audacious heroine, and a meddlesome kitten? The intrigue, my friends, is too divine to ignore.

I advise you to fortify your senses with tea and biscuits, for the days ahead promise to spill more secrets than the ton could possibly imagine. Will the Prince Regent claim his prize? Will forbidden love prevail? And most importantly, what role will that sprightly feline play in this swirling maelstrom of romance and rebellion?

Dear readers, I suggest you secure a copy of The Lyon’s Legacy without delay, lest you find yourself left behind in the torrent of passion, peril, and scandal that is sweeping the season.

Until next time,
Yours most scandalously,
Baroness Sophia von List

The first of the Two Dukes of Duncan and his Legacy of Heartbreak

The Lyon’s Legacy

Sometimes, passion is impossible to ignore.

Lady Melissa Thumbridge knows how to move through high society but refuses to play by its rules. When she’s summoned as the Prince Regent’s mistress, she finds herself trapped in a world of luxury and duty. Yet, her heart beats for another—John Stonebridge, who’s everything she’s ever wanted. Loving him, though, could cost them both everything. With her sister’s duchess title and the survival of the dukedom on the line, Melissa must summon all her strength to break free, with a little help from the infamous matchmaker Mrs. Dove-Lyon…and a meddlesome kitten named Angus.

Can Mrs. Dove-Lyon help her win her heart’s desire?

John Stonebridge thought he’d lost everything. Once the presumed heir to a dukedom, he’s been reduced to watching someone else wear the title, all while carrying the weight of his family’s legacy. After the loss of his first wife, John swore that he’d never allow his heart to hope again. But Melissa changes everything. She awakens something in him—a fire he can’t control and a future he yearns to grasp. The problem? Claiming her could ruin everything he’s sworn to protect.

But what use was love if it burned all else to ash around him?

When fate and duty threaten to keep them apart, Melissa and John must risk everything for a second chance at an impossible love they were always meant to find. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of a castle, their steamy romance is a passionate blend of courage, scandal, and the ultimate test of devotion.

Discover this spicy, second-chance Regency romance where a smart heroine, a sexy hero, and a little cat conspire to defy all odds.

The Scents of Scandal Come from Harley Street

By Alina K. Field

On December 4, 2024

In Teatime Tattler

Dear Readers,

I received the report below and know that you will find it quite titillating:

Dear Mr. Clemens,

It seems the good people of London have been provided with yet another mystery worthy of our scrutiny—and dare I say—amusement. Keep your fans poised, for the whispers along Abbotsbury Road are louder than the church bells on St. George’s Day.

Who could have imagined that the illustrious Lady B W, so demure beneath her cream bonnets, could hide such a thrillingly scandalous secret? With her formal introduction to none other than Prince M von H-S looming on the gilded horizon (an alliance for the ages, surely), Lady B has been seen slipping away from C House. And not to visit her dressmaker for a royal-worthy frock. No, dear readers, her carriage has instead made repeated, highly conspicuous stops at none other than 87 Harley Street.

What business does a young lady of society have at the establishment of a certain… handsome apothecary? This particular gentleman, known for his remedies and alluring smile, is hardly the sort of man that mamas would approve of their daughters consorting with—not publicly, at least! Sources close to the matter insist that Lady B has commissioned something rather unusual—a truth serum. Dare I suggest… intentional deception on her part? Oh, the irony of procuring such a concoction while engaged in royal courtship preparations. Could there possibly be a secret so salacious that she risks exposure to secure this potion of honesty?

One cannot help but wonder if the Prince himself would find her dealings with an apothecary—one with such brooding good looks, no less—acceptable. After all, such visits are hardly becoming of a lady aspiring to the ranks of royalty. What would he think of Lady B’s ventures down Harley Street, where whispers of clandestine elixirs and private rendezvous cast shadows on her sterling reputation?

The feathers will positively fly at the next soirée, for speculation is already swirling like cream in one’s tea. Has Lady B hired this apothecary to discern truths from a suspected liar—or could she herself plan to take a draught before meeting the Prince to shield herself from… shall we say, inconvenient honesty?

Ah, my dear readers, one thing is certain. This tale has given much to ponder… and even more to embellish. Rest assured, I shall keep both eyes trained on Harley Street and one ear pressed to the drawing room doors. Lady B W may have thought her secret safe, but as always, the truth has a way of bubbling to the surface—especially when paired with a touch of scandal.

Yours most faithfully,
An anonymous friend from across the street.

The Scent of Intuition

Blurb: In this novel, discover forbidden love, instant attraction, love at first sight, gentry versus nobility, clandestine identities, love triangles, secrets, and of course, Sara Adrien’s nostalgic descriptions and steamy romances.

Yet, the haunting memories of a girl he once met in India when he was just an apprentice linger in his mind. Enter Lady Beatrice “Bea” Wetherby, a beautiful woman in desperate need of a love potion to seduce a handsome foreign prince. But Alfie finds himself in a tough spot—will he help her to accomplish her goal to catch a prince or will he succumb to his own bitter medicine?

Lady Beatrice “Bea” Wetherby has to marry before her parents return from a diplomatic mission abroad. The last thing she needs is to help her cousin’s wedding planning with nobody to give her heart to—thank goodness Prince Stan has arrived. He’d be perfect, even though she doesn’t love him. But then a single and not not-so-harmless kiss from Alfie makes her swoon, and she’s sent in a new direction on an exciting adventure of love that she’d never anticipated.

Can Alfie overcome his past and societal boundaries to be with the woman who has captured his heart? Will Bea find the true love she seeks in the arms of an apothecary? Follow their journey as they navigate the complicated world of love, societal expectations, and personal desires in this captivating Regency romance novel that brings back the enchanting charm of steamy romance and medical drama readers have come to love from Sara Adrien’s bestselling series.
