BODY AND SOUL is the third book in the Scarlet Plumiere Series. To avoid spoilers, read BLOOD FOR INK and BONES FOR BREAD first. For good luck in finding a bride, Lord Forsgreen has received the dreadful African chair. Unfortunately, the ladies of the ton have been notified of his hopes to wed, and his every move is being watched. In his heart, however, he fears his father will be proven right, that the future Duke of Rochester can never trust a woman to love him honestly—not for his pretty face or royal blood. Georgetta has not the luxury to dream of marrying for true love. She has promised her hand in marriage to her second cousin, and in exchange, he will keep her past a secret from the world. But the famous Lord Forsgreen wants what he can never have, and if he discovers the secrets she keeps, she might hang before she can become any man's bride. This series includes the tale of four noble men—Northwick, Ashmoore, Forsgreen, and Harcourt—whose loyalty to each other is unfailing, whose blades are ever at the ready, and whose women are unquestionably brave and uniquely qualified to win their hearts.

Only she can save the marquess! After their unspeakable cruelty, Henley flees from her parents and sets off for an unknown future. However, the one friend she can turn to is not in County Dorset, but on holiday. While awaiting her return, Henley must be more daring than she’d ever imagined. For example, stealing the race horse takes less courage than riding one. But she must be especially brave when forced to choose between her own safety and the life of the man she once adored. Harcourt lost his three friends to matrimonial bliss, but vows to never be such a fool. To outrun that fate, he must hide from a certain chair from Africa. The superstition surrounding the chair is pure nonsense, but he’s taking no chances. Unfortunately, his sanctuary is invaded by a female phantom who cannot stay out of his way. But if he drinks enough, he can ignore her…and the obnoxious ghosts from his past. Get Breath of Laughter now, and discover if the last of the Four Kings will find his happily ever after, or if Harcourt and Henley will be each other’s downfall.
