EM TAYLOR brings you an amazing new series of Regency stories based on the fairy tales you loved as a child. Young ladies of good breeding do not kiss gentlemen in their bed chambers even if they have been asleep for three weeks. One would think Lady Emily would know that. One would think Lady Emily would not have entered Lord Beattie’s bed chamber alone. One would have thought that kissing the handsome viscount would have been the last thing she would have done. But kiss him she did. And that was when the apothecary walked in. All of which meant she had to marry Lord Beattie. Why the silly little chit had kissed him when he’d been out cold for three weeks, the Lord alone knew. And now Gideon, Viscount Beattie had to marry the outspoken little minx. But there was something a little charming about her. The problem was, her uncle was after his hide, the peasants were revolting – in the rioting sense, not in the disgusting sense – and he really needed to procure some grain from up north. He may as well kill two birds with one stone and elope with the interesting, frustrating, irritating and thoroughly delightful Lady Emily – soon to be Viscountess Beattie. It would be an interesting journey. AUTHOR’S NOTE: This book has no magic in it. While loosely based on a fairy tale, the story is gender swapped and there is no paranormal happenings.

Young ladies should not ask bachelor earls for help. Young ladies should not accept propositions from aforementioned earls. Young ladies certainly should not stay with earls in their country homes, even with chaperones consisting of one other young lady and seven orphans. Miss Lucy Butterworth knows all this, but she accepted the proposition, and now the earl wants to marry her. And the earl is so handsome, and so perfect, and so upstanding (in more ways than one). Unfortunately, Lucy is far from perfect, and if the earl finds out her secrets, she’ll be ruined. \ \ \* Robert Beresford, the Earl of Whitsnow, knows he should not have propositioned Miss Butterworth, but she was the answer to his prayers. Pretty; intelligent; and, well, there. She would save him from the dreaded marriage mart. He’s an earl for goodness sake. Why would she not marry him? His valet assures Robert that the maids think he is good-looking. As Robert gets to know Miss Butterworth, and the seven orphans she has in tow, he becomes more intrigued and a little infatuated. Is there more to her interest in orphans than just a desire to do good? Why does a single young lady refuse such a good match? And why does she need a lot of money in a hurry? Do the orphans hold the key to her secrets? And can Lucy resurrect the feelings of his previously inanimate heart?
