If you enjoy clean and sweet Regency romances and you like supporting my work when you can, I have a brand new release out today, and I’m very happy to finally be able to say that out loud.
The Marquess Takes a Mischievous Bride is live today, and it’s Book 8 in my The Duke’s Heritage series. Yes, Book 8. I have been a busy bee these past few years, apparently.
This one centers on Lady Millicent Calthorpe, who is clever, observant, and just mischievous enough to be dangerous in a ballroom. She’s well acquainted with society’s delicate games, and when her sister becomes the unwanted focus of a persistent suitor, Millicent steps in without hesitation. She places herself directly in the Marquess of Farholt’s path to divert his attention and keep her family safe.
What she does not expect is to enjoy the sparring quite so much, or to find herself genuinely intrigued by the man she is meant to outwit.
Herbert Chalmers, Marquess of Farholt, has spent years being steered toward a match chosen for him, his mother’s ambitions leaving very little room for his own wants. Duty, reputation, and family expectations have always come first. But when Lady Millicent inserts herself into his carefully ordered world, her wit, boldness, and unexpected kindness begin to unravel everything he thought he wanted.
The trouble is, old assumptions and unspoken resentments still stand firmly between them.
As Christmas festivities draw them closer, what begins as a mutually beneficial arrangement soon blurs into something far more personal. With family secrets surfacing, reputations hanging in the balance, and society watching their every move, Millicent and Herbert must decide whether to continue playing their parts, or risk everything for a future neither of them planned.
Because sometimes the most dangerous game of all is falling in love when the rules say you should not.
If you love escaping into the Regency era through clean and sweet romances filled with close-knit families, clever heroines, gentle intrigue, and a guaranteed happily ever after, The Duke’s Heritage is the series for you. Each book may be read as a standalone, but readers often get the most satisfaction from following the Calthorpe family in release order.

A quick author’s note, because transparency matters to me. This book was previously released as part of the Regency Christmas Weddings anthology, and it’s now available on its own for readers who prefer individual titles or may have missed it the first time around.
