Two PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED Regency novellas A Kiss by the Sea Heās not really a blacksmith, and sheās not really an heiressā¦ Thaddeus Pennrith finds a way to recover from multiple griefs when he accepts the blacksmithās post at Fenwick on Sea. Village life gives him a sense of belonging that Polite Society never could, though he must resume his aristocratic duties soon. Along comes Lady Sarah Weatherby, refugee from an engagement gone badly awry, and Thaddeus is faced with both a compelling reason to reveal his titled antecedents, and a longing to keep them forever hiddenā¦. This story originally appeared in the Bluestocking Bellesā anthology, Storm and Shelte r , where you will find more tales of romance by the seaside! When His Grace Falls The very proper Duke of Emory, lampooned in the popular satire How to Ruin A Duke , suspects that the author of his misfortune is Lady Edith Charbonneau. He sets out to ruin her before she can write a sequel, exceptā¦ what if heās wrong, and sheās not his enemy after all? Edith, formerly companion to His Graceās difficult mother, has plenty of reasons for her dim view of the dukeās household, but the man himself has never been one of them. Will they learn to trust another, or embark on a war of words, wit, and wanton kisses? This novella originally appeared in the novella duet, How to Ruin a Duke.
