Recently appointed to a hoped-for government post, Richard St. Clair struggles to suppress less-than-appropriate feelings for his new assistant, especially since he's seen through her disguise.

He's a formally engaged man, after all. And he's got everything under control--until an unknown adversary slips him a love potion that unleashes his true affections.

With the help of his once-enchanted sister, his policeman brother-in-law, and the woman he really loves, Richard scours Kingston for his foe and way to ethically express his heart's desires.

The second installment in the "Roesia" series, Richard: The Ethics of Affection continues the story of the St. Clair family begun in Aubrey: Remnants of Transformation.

A Man of Few Words

Katherine Woodbury

A lighthearted look at the critical events in Jane Austen's most famous work from the perspective of Fitzwilliam Darcy. Later accounts have too often transformed Darcy into the stereotypical alpha male of Regency romances. Within the pages of this novella, he endeavors to correct that popular misunderstanding.

The Gentleman and the Rake

Katherine Woodbury

In this revised omnibus edition of Mr. B Speaks! and A Man of Few Words, Katherine Woodbury provides a fresh perspective on two classic works of English literature.

Adaptations of Jane Austen's most beloved and well-known work have too often transformed Fitzwilliam Darcy into the stereotypical alpha male of Regency romances. In order to correct this misunderstanding, Darcy has taken the opportunity to provide a more "balanced" view of the relationship between himself and Elizabeth Bennet.

Bodily yanked out of Samuel Richardson's Pamela, the novel's hero, Mr. B, must defend himself in court before a panel of skeptical literary scholars and unfriendly critics. The redeemed rake of the first true English romance, Mr. B struggles to justify his provocative behavior. Will love conquer all in the 21st century as it did in the 18th?

The result is a delightful dash through the roots of the modern romance novel!
