She's been an impatient toe-tapper all her life. He employs caution in all things. Somebody will have to hurry up or slow down, lest they both go mad. Lady Patience Nicolet, the third eldest daughter of the Duke of Pelham, is poised to take her place in society. Or perhaps poised is the wrong word, as that would indicate a ladylike going forward. Patience is in the habit of racing ahead as fast as possible and she is certain she will make quick work of settling herself. After all, she must just look about and identify the gentleman who would suit. Not surprisingly to anyone in her family, she…mehr

She's been an impatient toe-tapper all her life. He employs caution in all things. Somebody will have to hurry up or slow down, lest they both go mad. Lady Patience Nicolet, the third eldest daughter of the Duke of Pelham, is poised to take her place in society. Or perhaps poised is the wrong word, as that would indicate a ladylike going forward. Patience is in the habit of racing ahead as fast as possible and she is certain she will make quick work of settling herself. After all, she must just look about and identify the gentleman who would suit. Not surprisingly to anyone in her family, she does just that. Marcus Langley, Earl of Stanford, is resolutely calm and measured. He understands that very few things outside of a housefire require an immediate response and he has his reasons for going slow. He is wildly attracted to Patience, but he is determined to take his time in a decision that will guide the course of the rest of his life. Two people might fall in love at the same time, but have very different ideas regarding how quickly to act on it. As anybody who has experienced this conundrum can confirm, this will inevitably lead to suspicions over a fan, mistaken identities, and wild rides across half of England before the thing can be settled sensibly. Note: This series is part of Dragonblade's Sweet Dreams line, so this is a sweet, wholesome Historical Romance where passion beyond the bedroom door is left to the reader's imagination. A Series of Senseless Complications Book 1: Lady Ferocity Book 2: Lady Graceless Book 3: Lady Impatience Book 4: Lady Dramatic Book 5: Lady Liar Book 6: Lady Suspicious Book 7: Lady Fearful
Autorenporträt
By the time I was eleven, my Irish Nana and I had formed a book club of sorts. On a timetable only known to herself, Nana would grab her blackthorn walking stick and steam down to the local Woolworth's. There, she would buy the latest Barbara Cartland romance, hurry home to read it accompanied by viciously strong wine, (Wild Irish Rose, if you're wondering) and then pass the book on to me. Though I was not particularly interested in real boys yet, I was very interested in the gentlemen in those stories-daring, bold, and often enraging and unaccountable. After my Barbara Cartland phase, I went on to Georgette Heyer, Jane Austen and so many other gifted authors blessed with the ability to bring the Georgian and Regency eras to life.I would like nothing more than to time travel back to the Regency (and time travel back to my twenties as long as we're going somewhere) to take my chances at a ball. Who would take the first? Who would escort me into supper? What sort of meaningful looks would be exchanged? I would hope, having made the trip, to encounter a gentleman who would give me a very hard time. He ought to be vexatious in the extreme, and worth every vexation, to make the journey worthwhile.I most likely won't be able to work out the time travel gambit, so I will content myself with writing stories of adventure and romance in my beloved time period. There are lives to be created, marvelous gowns to wear, jewels to don, instant attractions that inevitably come with a difficulty, and hearts to break before putting them back together again. In traditional Regency fashion, the action happens in a drawing room, rather than a bedroom.As I muse over what will happen next to my H and h, and wish I were there with them, I will occasionally remind myself that it's also nice to have a microwave, Netflix, cheese popcorn, and steaming hot showers.
