Phoebe

2022

Meet the Bellamy sisters, five young women who will do anything to save their siblings and keep the wolf from the door. Lady Phoebe Bellamy will do anything to save her family estate—even marry the devil himself… The Bellamy family has only four months before they’ll lose the very roof over their heads. While Phoebe’s older sisters venture out into the world to earn the necessary funds, Phoebe herself—plain, levelheaded, and responsible—stays home to care for her younger siblings and parents. But then she meets Viscount Needham, a fabulously wealthy, brand new peer, and everything changes. When Phoebe learns that her father is determined to marry one of his daughters to Needham, she knows it's time to act. She certainly can’t imagine saddling any of her beloved sisters with the brutally handsome upstart. So, she does the unthinkable and proposes to Viscount Needham herself… Paul Needham attended the best schools, belongs to all the proper clubs, and can buy and sell half the House of Lords and still have money to spare. And yet the ton still treats him with disdain. Marrying one of their own is the fastest way to legitimize his place in society. But that doesn’t mean that he has to like his bride. He certainly won’t ever love her. Their marriage will be nothing but a mutually beneficial business arrangement. Except it doesn’t feel like a simple transaction when Phoebe is in his arms… They are complete opposites with nothing in common. Class differences and prejudices divide them. Is love enough to bridge their two worlds—or are they destined for heartbreak?

Hyacinth

2023

Meet the Bellamy sisters, five young women who will do anything to save their siblings and keep the wolf from the door.... Shy, awkward, and plain, Lady Hyacinth Bellamy long ago accepted that marriage and family—and especially romantic love—was not for a woman like her. But that's just fine with Hy because she has dreams of a better life, one in which she will be independent and free from fear and shame. Hy's not just dreaming, she's been working toward her new life for years and it's almost within her grasp. Unfortunately, before she can embrace her future, she has to break one final shackle to her past. Thanks to her father’s reckless gambling, her beloved siblings are facing homelessness. Luckily, there is one thing Hy excels at and that's playing cards and winning money. Lots of money. Hy’s precious nest egg—which she has scrimped and saved for years to accumulate—is almost enough to keep the roof over her family’s head for another year. All Hy needs to do is earn enough to pay the rest of the loan and then she will be free to start her new life. Everything is going smoothly and according to plan. Until the meddling Duke of Chatham gets in her way… Sylvester Derrick, the seventh Duke of Chatham, is bored. He's bored being sought after by women who don’t even like him and bored socializing with the same vapid—and boring—cricle of elites day after day. He's even become bored with debauchery and gambling. And then one night a bespectacled, ginger-headed young man wanders into Sylvester's favorite gambling hell and commences to coolly turn his boredom into curiosity, admiration, and uneasy fascination. Imagine Sylvester's surprise when he discovers the cardsharp who has been systematically fleecing the men of the ton of all their money is actually a female in men’s clothing. Clearly there is only one solution to the situation... Hy can’t believe the Duke of Chatham is threatening to expose her masquerade unless she allows him to accompany her on her midnight gambling jaunts! But what bothers Hy more than the duke's arrogant demand is the fact that she actually enjoys the blasted man's company. As Hy gets closer to earning the money she needs and the Season draws to a close, the lovers begin to realize that their time together is almost over. Or is it...? Is happily ever after even possible for a man who has been broken by love once before and a woman who doesn’t even believe that love exists? This sensual, steamy love story will give you all the feels and melt your Kindle along with your heart. Happily ever after guaranteed! Hyacinth is the wickedly witty and sensually steamy second book of a five-book series. Each story in The Bellamy Sisters stands alone.

Whether or not that something includes her new job for a reclusive marquess, or a happily ever after with one of the suitors she left behind in London remains to be seen.

Aurelia

2024

Aurelia Bellamy is tired of being the responsible oldest daughter. It’s time to finally take charge of her own fate. So, when an opportunity to work for one of England’s most famous naturalists comes along, she jumps at the chance. Even though it means traveling to a remote island…and working for a notorious (and dangerously appealing) rake… Lord Roland Crewe wants nothing to do with love or romance. He’s already proven he’s a terrible husband—twice!—and has no interest in doing it again. But for some reason, he struggles to remember that when he’s with Aurelia. He knows a scarred, hardened man like him has nothing to offer a beautiful young idealist like her. So, why can’t he stay away? It’s not long before Aurelia and Roland realize how strong their attraction is…and how quickly that attraction is deepening into something infinitely more complicated. But when the time comes, will these polar opposites find their way to happily ever after, or utter ruin? Aurelia is the wickedly witty and sensually steamy fourth book of a seven-book series. It is a spicy age gap historical romance that can be read as a standalone.

S.M. LaViolette
Author · 19 books

Who is S.M. LaViolette? S.M. (that’s short for Shantal Marie) writes super spicy historical romance and historical erotic romance. S.M. likes to write about heroes and heroines who don't fit the mold—that means heroes who aren't always dukes and heroines who aren't always virgins. People have described S.M.'s style as dark, angsty, and dryly witty. S.M. also writes historical romance under the pen name Minerva Spencer, and historical mystery under S.M. Goodwin. S.M. has been a criminal prosecutor, college history teacher, B&B operator, dock worker, ice cream manufacturer, reader for the blind, motel maid, and bounty hunter. Okay, so the part about being a bounty hunter is a lie. S.M. does, however, know how to hypnotize a Dungeness crab, sew her own Regency Era clothing, knit a frog hat, juggle, rebuild a 1959 American Rambler, and gain control of Asia (and hold on to it) in the game of RISK.
