Lady Pear's Duke

2020

Lady Pearyn Treedale has been affiancéd to Cameron Spencer, the Duke of Partridgdon since she was eight years old. An archaic practice, but a situation she's come to enjoy. At her formal introduction to society, she wasn't like the other debutantes. While they all searched for husbands, she made friends, had titillating conversations, and did whatever pleased her. Her fiancé had the good grace to be absent most of her life. Then, the duke went on his world tour, and decided never to return to England, allowing Lady Pear a freedom most ladies never experience. Now, at five and twenty, Lady Pear wonders if perhaps she had it all wrong. She has friends, but no love, and no family. With Christmas around the corner, she receives gifts from a secret admirer, and she starts to believe that perhaps she should give this new gentleman her attention, because her duke certainly doesn't want her.

Evan Nicholas Radcliff has no time for such silly things as the annoying hens that interrupt his work. He's on a tight deadline and can't keep humoring his pretty, curious neighbor or her wild flock. Except, he secretly lives for those brief meetings. He'd woo her if only he could summon the courage. With Christmas Eve upon them and the hens once more in the wind, Isabelle and Nicholas are thrown together due to a large misunderstanding that starts a long overdue conversation. What might have begun as a fowl Christmastide has the potential to turn into a happily ever after.

Four Calling Cards

2020

Edward Castleford, Viscount Rundell, was on the bride hunt. While he has never spurned romance, he has yet to find someone who fills his life with happiness. It isn’t until his father gives him an ultimatum - take a wife or get cut off without a cent – does he have to make a difficult, and rather quick, decision. By the time the Earl of Vellerman returns from Bath, taking the waters in a final attempt to restore his failing health, he expects to hear of an engagement upon his return. Thus, Edward has narrowed down his choices to four amiable prospects… Miss Sabrina Everhart is the companion of the Countess of Warably, but she feels like more of a servant. She is the lady’s poor, orphan relation who has become more of a charity case than a woman of proper age who might be allowed to join the marriage mart. However, just as she’s nearly become resigned to the fact she will remain as nothing but a plain wallflower, she suddenly starts to receive the attentions of Viscount Rundell. But what could a plain, penniless lady possibly offer such a handsome bachelor?

2020

Mr. Peter Spencer isn't interested in anything but his music, until, that is, a most unlikely lady touches his soul.

Lady Starling has lost hope and faith in everything around her. Love only betrays, it never fulfills its promise. Can Peter convince her to trust her heart or will she turn her back on a future with the man of her dreams? Cocky Brother was initially published in December 2020 under the title Mayfair Maiden.

It can be read as a standalone or with the series. I hope those of you who read the first version love the new scenes as much as I do!

Married to the same man for over 25 years, I am a mother to three children and two Miniature Wiener dogs. After owning a business and experiencing considerable success, my husband and I got caught in the financial crisis and lost everything in 2008; our business, our home, even our car. At this point, I put my B.A. in Poly Sci to use and took work as a waitress and bartender (Insert irony). Unwilling to give up on a professional life, I simultaneously went back to college and obtained a degree in Energy Management. And then the energy market dropped off. And then my dog died. I can only be grateful for this series of unfortunate events, for, with nothing to lose and completely demoralized, I sat down and began to write the romance novels which had until then, existed only my imagination. After publishing over twenty novels now, with one having been nominated for RWA’s Distinguished ™RITA Award in 2019, I am happy to tell you that I have finally found my place in life.

Who knew I’d become an author? Not me. But when the opportunity knocked, I answered the door and welcomed it in. I approach life with as much positivity as I can—celebrating the hits and laughing at the misses. Nothing worthwhile is easy, and that includes everything in my life. But I have much to smile about—my lovely mother, a beautiful daughter, two precious granddaughters, my adorable dogs, and my sweet husband of over thirty years. He has always supported me—including uprooting to move to the other side of Charlotte, N.C. for a life change, just when we thought we were settled. If settled means not going after my dreams, then I never want to be settled. I give my all to things I enjoy—and that includes writing. In 2021, I hit the USA Today Bestselling Author list, and recently, two of my books were named RONE Finalists! I love to express myself to the point that my daughter avoids going to the movies with me because I’m that woman in the row in front of you who gleefully munches her popcorn and laughs at every hilarious scene. Loudly. Besides my family, I love chocolate, popcorn, laughter, and animals. I love animals so much that I frequently sprinkle them in my stories as secondary characters. They usually steal the show! British and American history have always interested me, so writing historical romances set in the U.K. and the US is where my passion is. When I was barely three years old, my parents divorced, and my mom moved my sister and me from New York to South Carolina to live near her parents. Juggling a full-time job and full-time school, my mother became my first genuine hero—she never waved the white flag when things were tough. And things quickly got tough. My grandmother, who helped care for my sister and me while my mother worked, became ill with cancer, and didn’t survive the surgery, dying before I was seven. Losing Grandma devastated me. She read to me and taught me to read before I started first grade. I credit her for inspiring my love of reading, and I credit my mother for encouraging me to turn my ideas into stories. When I was ten, my neighbor gave me her book club copy of Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind and it remains one of my favorite books. But it was Kathleen Woodiwiss’ Shanna and Ashes in the Wind, that hooked me on historical romance and sparked my dream of becoming a published author. While I primarily write Regency Romance, I enjoy almost any period in American and British history. I love hearing from readers. To get in touch, email me at annastclaireauthor@gmail.com.
