Lady Pinkfeather is on her way. But before I arrive, I must let you know something. I won't be alone. I'm bringing Mama with me. Oh, and your mother, too. As well as Marcia, Janice, and Cynthia. Don't be upset! Order a few more chocolates and another bottle of sparkling wine!

I have special news to tell you, which they already know. They guessed this morning when I couldn't bear the smell of crumpets toasting. It was the oddest thing. I love crumpets. So they sent for the doctor while you were out riding with your brothers, and now they won't let me out of their sight. Have you guessed what the secret is? You're a man, so you probably haven't yet because you can't get past the part where I told you that your mother and sisters and my mother are coming to our trysting spot.

But we're all giddy, and we're all coming to celebrate with you!

Please make sure you're not naked.

Thank you, darling, and I promise that after we celebrate (Cynthia might be inclined to jump on the bed, as you well know), I'll send them on their merry way. And then you and Lady Pinkfeather will celebrate alone. Properly. I'm the happiest woman in the world, thanks to you, my darling.

With all my love, I am

AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER
Handsome, charismatic, and on the verge of becoming a successful architect, Gregory Sherwood, Lord Westdale, could have just about any woman he wants. So why rush to marry? So far there’s been only one woman he’s considered his ideal match. But that was before she had a secret affair with his best friend…with the help of an unwitting accomplice named Lady Pippa Harrington.

A PASSION TOO GOOD TO DENY
Pippa may not have acted in her old friend Gregory’s best interests, but she’s always believed that the heart sets its own rules. This is why Pippa must escape her arranged marriage–fast–by fleeing to Paris, where she hopes to pursue her artistic passions. To do so, Pippa will need all the help she can get–from Gregory, the one man she isn’t sure she can trust…or resist….

  7. For me it has to be Claire and Jamie Fraser of the Outlander novels written by Diana Gabaldon. You follow their whole life as young adults to being grand-parents. I would love to get a chance to read one of your books, I always see beautiful reviews of them. Which one do you suggested I start with. Beautiful cover ! Magnifique! nlaverdure88@videotron.ca

  10. My favorite couple is Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler from "Gone With the Wind." They will always be one of the greatest couple ever.

    Looking forward to reading "The Earl is Mine." I just adore the impish look on the heroine's face. All of your novels are intriguing in that way because the covers totally promise a good romp and lots of fun!

  24. Oh, loved this letter, the not so secret surprise, and the "Please make sure you aren't naked" line! I have so many favorite couples. One for a contemporary, hotter book is Damien & Savi from Kallypso Masters NOBODY'S PERFECT, they were such a great couple, both damaged but not broken :)

  30. I don't know if I have a favorite. I do like Lizzy and Darcy. But if I'm honest I tend to be jealous of the heroine who gets these great heroes. To be a heroine in a book.
