The Unhinged Historical Romance Collection Vol 1: The Early Disasters

Respectability was attempted...and lost. What do you get when you cross a perilously dignified duke, a governess with alphabetical rage issues, a baby of mysterious origin, and a goose with delusions of legal authority? Catastrophe. Twice before tea, three times before the scandal sheets hit the stands. All in one collection. Inside this collection: • The Duke's Golden Catastrophe: Dorian Blackthorn Ravenshade, Duke of Hawksmoor, has survived duels, scandals, and an inexplicable number of collapsing chandeliers. His life is a carefully cultivated exercise in dignified suffering—until Lady Seraphina Fawnwhisper plummets directly into his existence (and occasionally into his arms) with the destructive grace of a Regency-era hurricane. She is chaos. He is order. And fate—assisted by a deeply malevolent goose—has decided they are to be very much in love. Between mysterious duels, catastrophic misunderstandings, and one very persistent waterfowl, Hawksmoor finds himself drawn into London's most outrageous scandal yet. Can he survive Seraphina's endless disasters? Or will he succumb to the most shocking fate of all—marriage? A Regency Romance Gone Terribly, Terribly Wrong. Features: Untrustworthy chandeliers, an unwanted pirate suitor, and an all-knowing goose. • Rake & the Pearl-Clutcher: Miss Prudence Fairweather has always believed in virtue, restraint, and the healing power of alphabetical order. But when three hellion sisters, a scandalous rake, and one wildly misused settee lead to a very public, very accidental engagement, she finds herself betrothed to the one man guaranteed to send her spiraling into sin: Lord Phineas Markham. Phineas is a rake. Or he was. Or he's trying not to be. It's unclear—he's working through it in a series of confusing, impassioned monologues. Each more dramatic than the last. And each featuring a tragic backstory with entirely new details. Again.
