Saturday's Blurbs featuring Books by Elf Ahearn #MFRWauthor #romance #Regency


A Rogue in Sheep’s Clothing
By Elf Ahearn
In Lord Hugh Davenport’s opinion, women of the ton perpetually hide behind a mask of deception. That’s hard for Lady Ellie Albright to swallow – especially since she’s disguised herself as a stable hand to get back the prized stallion her father sold Hugh to pay a debt. If Hugh learns her true identity she’ll lose the horse and her family will go bankrupt. Somehow, though, giving up Hugh’s love is starting to seem worse.
The flock of insipid debutantes Hugh's mother invites to a house party, bore him. Instead, he's captivated by an enigmatic stable hand who swears she’ll never marry. The harder he presses her, the more she urges him to wed Ellie Albright, the silliest goose in the whole unappealing lot. What Hugh desires is a strong, independent woman who can hold her own and who cares about something other than the latest hat styles. And that’s just the type of woman he's never going to find in his mother’s parlor…

The Secret Life of Lords
By Elf Ahearn
If Lady Claire Albright had one wish, it would be to forget brooding, powerful Lord Flavian Monroe. But even after two years of bewildering silence, she yearns to touch his sinuous arms and feel his calloused hands upon her cheeks. Then, on the brink of her come out, they accidently meet. His ward is ill, and he begs her to use her knowledge of healing to help the girl. But this patient is sick in a way that’s far different from what Claire expected—dangerously different. And, as she struggles to find a cure, Flavian resists rekindling their love. Is it the ward’s illness that keeps him cold and distant, or a dark and terrible secret?
The thought of Claire in the arms of another man is unbearable, but in his heart Flavian knows he mustn’t ask her to share the consequences of his mistake. Nor should he have brought her to his home and exposed her to his ward’s sickness. Yet he lacks the strength to send her away. Each time he looks into Claire’s eyes, the urge to feel her body pressed against his consumes all reason, and he is left unable to utter the word, ‘Goodbye.’

A Duke in the Rough
By Elf Ahearn
Lord Crewe Burnett has turned his back on everything having to do with his cruel twin, the Duke of Hanesford. Uneducated, and reminded daily of his shortcomings, Crewe steeps himself in boxing and whiskey. But at his brother’s nuptials, he finds he can’t tolerate the sight of another woman nearing her destruction, especially a flaxen-haired, spirited beauty like Lady Peggity Albright. He hauls her off the altar, throws her over his shoulder and then tries to convince her to flee.
As for Peggity, when that wastrel Crewe attempts to stop her marriage, she comes to the conclusion that the duke’s only drawback is his dangerously muscular brother. However, she quickly learns the true nature of her husband and exactly what he wants from her. Trapped in a horrific marriage, she depends on Crewe for safety, for company, and then for love. But in the eyes of society, leaving her husband is impossible, and marrying his brother is unthinkable. Scandal or love? The choice is hers…
