Pre-order The Baron and the Lady Chemist for only $0.99!


 

The Baron and the Lady Chemist, the second book in The Grantham Girls series, is available for pre-order for only $0.99. 

Their chemistry creates a chain reaction . . . but will love be the final result?

Dorothea Grantham has always been fascinated by chemistry and spends most days conducting experiments in her laboratory at Grantham Place, staining silk with gold, silver, and other metals using chemical processes.

Thea embroiders the beautiful gold and silver silk shawls she creates and enjoys wearing them, but her grandmother, Lady Longmore, advises her not to reveal to anyone outside the family circle that she has created the fashion items herself, concerned her granddaughter might be seen as an oddity.

When Thea enters Society, her shawls attract a great deal of attention and become the talk of the town. James, Lord Castleroy, takes a particular interest in her work, having inherited a share in his grandfather’s silk mill in Macclesfield.

Eager to invest in the ailing silk industry, the baron studies Miss Grantham’s silks with an admiring—and increasingly suspicious—eye, believing the fabrics to be smuggled imported silk. As he spends more time with the enterprising young lady, however, his interest in her quickly extends beyond his business affairs to engulf his guarded heart.

But Lord Castleroy isn’t the only person in London interested in Thea’s exquisite creations. And when a silken web of intrigue entangles her in real danger, Thea must trust the devotion of a man she never expected—or intended—to fall in love with.

The Duke and the Lady Gardener (The Grantham Girls #1) 

Love blossoms for a Lady Gardener when she robs a Duke. . . and then steals his heart.

Alexandra Grantham becomes Lady Robin Hood, stealing from the rich to provide for the local farm workers in the district. However, when her new neighbor, Mr. Robert Chanderly, unmasks her, Alexandra cannot hide her horror as he has it within his power to ruin her reputation.

But, instead of blighting her social chances when they arrive in London, Robert decides to bring Alexandra into high fashion, and she effectively takes the ton by storm.

Enemies abound in the Capital, however, causing trouble for Alexandra at every turn. So when an adversary threatens to reveal Alexandra’s dangerous secret, Robert must do everything within his power to defend the honor of the woman he loves—or lose the only lady he’s ever wished to make his wife.

Launch Day for The Baronet's Lady Biologist!

 


I'm excited to announce that The Baronet's Lady Biologist, the third book in my Linfield Ladies series, launches today. Please note that this story can be read as a standalone novel.

Book Description

Butterflies bring them together but will love capture her heart?

Georgiana Linfield is a lady biologist who is determined to travel the world. Upon arriving in London for the Season, she decides the best way to fulfil her dreams is to find an amenable husband to indulge her every whim. Refusing to give up her interest in natural history for a dull domestic life, she sets out to forge a different path for herself.

When her father's elderly cousin asks her to set his natural history collection in order, she accepts his request with joy. However, the task brings her into almost daily contact with his godson, Sir Giles Tavistock, a renowned entomologist, who regards her with some suspicion. When Sir Giles discovers her skills as a scientific illustrator, he asks her to sketch his South American butterfly collection, and they forge an uneasy truce.

Their tenuous connection is shattered, however, when Sir Giles believes a rumour casting Georgiana in a far from flattering light. Vowing to have nothing more to do with him, she keeps him at a distance. But when the baronet's butterflies attract unwanted attention, a series of events unravel that make Georgiana wonder if the famous collector might have done the impossible and captured her heart.

Reviews for The Viscount's Lady Novelist

The reviews have been coming in for The Viscount’s Lady Novelist, and it has been wonderful to see how well it has been received!




 “What a delightful addition to this series. Readers of proper Regency romance stories are not going to want to miss this!” ~ Melissa

“A great read, and there’s some lovely humour, too, not to mention the world’s worst poet! Five stars.” ~ Pauline

“Once again, Alissa Baxter delivers a delightful Regency with Austen quotes that feel perfectly placed. If a Historical Romance that is by turns light-hearted and serious, featuring a bookish, independent-minded heroine who has sworn off love and marriage, and is intent on saving herself and a scientist/Viscount who needs to marry, and marry well, is your cup of tea - look no further! As with the first Linfield Ladies novel, The Viscount’s Lady Novelist is a sheer delight.” ~ Yvette

“Once again Alissa Baxter has created a story that I found so charming to read.” ~ Keren

“Oh my goodness, this was such sweet and delightful Regency romance. Full of witty banter between both hero and heroine, that I absolutely adored. Alissa Baxter captures your full attention from the first page to the very last. I highly recommend this book to those who love and enjoy well written, clean romance!” ~ Gwendalyn

“This was such a charming Regency romance! It was full of delightful, witty banter, a good dose of humour, a bit of drama, and a few nods to Jane Austen!” ~ Mary

“This book was so sweet! I hadn’t read any of the author’s other works, so I didn’t know what to expect when I first started this novel. However, I was very pleasantly surprised! This book kept a smile on my face the whole time and was so enjoyable. The romance in this novel is probably the closest thing to an Austen romance that I have read in historical fiction.” ~ Isobel Rose

Thanks to all the readers who have left a review of my book. I really appreciate it.

Release Day for The Viscount's Lady Novelist

The Viscount’s Lady Novelist, the second book in my Linfield Ladies series (which can be read as a stand-alone) releases today! Here is the book description:

Harriet Linfield is a lady novelist who has been disillusioned by love. She sets out to write more realistic tales about the emotion when she returns home to Linfield Court for the summer. Vowing to avoid any romantic entanglements along the way, she focuses instead on her writing and her plan to turn the estate she inherited from her uncle into a refuge for orphans.

Oliver, Viscount Wentford, is determined to restore his family fortunes. But his plans for the estate he inherited are in direct opposition to the wishes of Harriet, his new neighbour. Upon meeting her, Oliver is amused when, in response to his provocative comments, she informs him that she intends to make him the villain of her next book. But his amusement swiftly turns to dismay when circumstances align to show him in that exact light.

When an enemy comes back into Harriet’s life, she sees that love isn’t as clear-cut as the romantic tales she pens. But will the viscount manage to discard his villainous mantle to become Harriet’s real-life hero?
