The Earl Next Door

2023

One available house. One pesky Earl. One month to drive him out. When Miss Henrietta Dixon wants something, she finds a way to have it. When an incident in London sends her and her sister to Bath, she can think of no better opportunity to reunite her sister with the man she has always loved by inviting him to stay at the last available townhouse next door in the Royal Crescent. Her plan is coming along splendidly until The Earl of Guildford walks—or rather, saunters—into town, and steals it from under her nose. Charlie can see only one way to save his sister from the horrible marriage his father has planned for her. He has to marry an heiress, Lady Eleanor, who has taken up residence in Bath. In order to secure the final place in the Royal Crescent, he has no choice but to offer any price it takes. He only has to stay for long enough to woo Lady Eleanor, but when a remarkably vexing young woman next door refuses to leave him in peace, he cannot help but declare war. A war of wits, a war of schemes, and most unexpectedly…a war against his obstinate heart. Miss Dixon is not only vexing, but she is intriguing and beautiful in a way he has never seen before. Whether she likes it or not, he’s keeping his place in Bath. But whether he can keep his heart is another matter entirely. \\\* The Earl Next Door is a sweet regency romantic comedy. It is the first book in the Noble Charades series by Ashtyn Newbold. 1. The Earl Next Door 2. The Duke's Diary (Fall 2023) 3. (to be announced.)

The Duke's Diary

She only meant to read one page...until she saw her name.Rather than being forced to marry the vile man her father intends for her, Nora Rothwell plans to escape. With the help of her brother and his best friend, Timothy, the Duke of Heywood, she finds her way to the Duke’s abandoned hunting lodge, where she will be kept safe and hidden until she comes of age—at which time she will be whisked off to London in the hopes of finding a suitable match who might secure her a place far from her father’s reach. Secluded from society, Nora enlists Timothy’s help as she prepares for her London debut. Ever serious and unromantic, he teaches her the essential skills of catching a husband, leaving her with no question that he sees her as he always has—a friend, a child—perhaps even a sister. But when she discovers an old diary in the library, everything she thought she knew is called into question. It’s Timothy’s diary. And if its contents are to be believed, he isn’t unromantic in the slightest. ...and he most certainly doesn’t see her as a sister.\\\*Book 2 in the Noble Charades series by Ashtyn Newbold, The Duke's Diary is a sweet regency romantic comedy. Each book can be read alone, but are best enjoyed in the order The Earl Next Door2. The Duke's Diary3. The Parlor Game (Coming soon)

The Parlor Game

2024

Love might be the most dangerous game of all. After enduring a loveless marriage, Anne, the widowed Lady Daventry, hopes to find happiness with her first love, Miles, upon his return from India. Knowing his plans to settle in London, she accepts an invitation to a house party in Town, hosted by the eccentric Lady Tottenham. When the first night of the party consists of a scandalous secret parlor game, she finds an unwelcome guest amongst the group: Miles' scoundrel of a younger brother, Alexander. Alexander Holland came to London with one objective: take back the money his brother stole from him. Becoming embroiled in a lavish party full of riddles and matchmaking schemes hadn't been part of the plan. Appalled by Anne's loyalty to Miles, Alexander suggests a wager over a game of chess. To be sure she truly loves Miles, she must court a man of Alexander’s choosing prior to Miles’s return. Certain her feelings will never change, Anne accepts the terms of the arrangement. It would be nothing more than a game—a fake courtship with a strict set of rules. She could easily resist any pompous, preening man Alexander chooses just to prove him wrong. But Alexander has no intention of being proven wrong, and there’s only one man he would trust to steal Anne's heart in so short a time. Himself. The Parlor Game is a sweet regency romantic comedy, the third book in the Noble Charades series by Ashtyn Newbold. The series is best enjoyed when read in the order below: 1\. The Earl Next Door 2\. The Duke's Diary 3\. The Parlor Game
