About this ebook

Introducing Chills, the first installment of the Distinguished Rogues series. Bestselling regency romance author, Heather Boyd, brings readers a lively tale of reckless spending, fraudulent correspondence, and the humorous twists and turns of falling for the right rogue…

London, 1813

Jack, Marquess of Ettington, is at his wits’ end dealing with his twin sister’s distress. Under her name, he’s summoned Constance Grange, his vexing former ward, to London to act as his sister’s companion for the season. Although Pixie’s debt-ridden state comes as a complete surprise, what disturbs him more is his sister’s plan to find her a wealthy husband to pay off her overwhelming debts. And—despite his availability, wealth and title—he’s shocked to be overlooked for the position of Pixie’s husband.

With a nickname like Pixie, Constance Grange should be used to disasters, but debt collectors pounding on the Marquess of Ettington’s door demanding payment is beyond mortifying. Given the precarious state of her finances and the previously unknown loss of her family estate, her choices are either incarceration in debtors’ prison or turning fortune hunter to secure a wealthy husband. Yet the man who comes to her rescue more times than she cares to think about is unavailable, betrothed, and her former guardian Jack—the cold-hearted marquess.

A steamy regency historical romance novel.

Ratings and reviews

here are so many Regency authors publishing that it is difficult to discern which authors deserve a closer look. Chills, the first book in the Distinguished Rogues series is free on Amazon, and is where I found it. The story is filled with humor and tension. Pixie is n London to find a husband and Lord Ettington, her former Guardian is upset that he doesn't feature in her search. Pixie has a way of ending up in the most improper situations and he has his hands full to try and protect her reputation. It is a good read and really something that stands out amongst Regency Romances. Having said this, one is naturally apprehensive to read more novels in the series as sometimes it happens that the same recipe is used and only the names and small details changed. Heather Boyd, however, finds a way of surprising with each following book, each novel has an original story-line with characters that in no way represent the previous heroines. Every book is a fresh read and brings enjoyment to the reader. To date, there are nine books in the series and two box sets for books 1-3 and books 4-6. They can be found on Heather's website here.

Brilliant story. You get so much more than the synopsis with this one! Not one but two gorgeous stories. Beautiful, fully formed characters. Clever storylines. Multiple POV's well used ( a personal fave!). Some serious UST followed by deliciously resolved ST hehehe. Well worth the read and I'm heading straight back for more!

The store kept me reading . It wss so hard to put down when i had to. Every spare moment went into reading Chills. Its took a few twist which i loved. I would recommend this book to all historical romance lovers. Thank you for a spectacular read.
