Description
Marriage might not be so bad if she could find a man who was somehow strong enough to stand up to her parents, and still biddable enough to live with.
Louisa was the smallest of the Heiresses, and the quietest and the shyest. However, it would do a man well to remember that nature tended paint its most dangerous things red, like the color of her hair.
Colin Campbell needs a mother for his daughter, not some woman he can't get out of his mind.
She was supposed to be a means to an end. Marry the girl. She takes care of his Bonnie. He gets the trade routes from her family. So how has she managed to turn his whole life upside down and why does he like it so much?
What others have to say about the series:
"Oh laugh out loud funny, funny! Read the story. It's a real hoot from beginning to end!"
VJP on Amazon
"The third "Heiress" story is more emotional than the first two, but still as witty and endearing."
Helen on Amazon
"Come join the fun, you will want to laugh through out the book."
Babs on Amazon
This steamy regency romantic comedy series will delight you if you are the type to laugh out loud at the antics of a "talking" dog, or cheer on difficult women, or scowl at men being nobcocks. This series is not for the women looking for Georgette Heyer or Jane Austen. As amazing as they are, I have no wish to write like them, though I am not above borrowing a trope or two. If you are the type to quibble about a social faux pas you won't be happy with this series. In short, this is not your mother's Regency. These girls are rebels who cross class lines like they skewer men's hearts. Oh but these men! It takes a strong man to love a difficult woman.
Author Interview:
Why do Regency Romance if you aren't going to write it "correctly"?
Because as much as I love Regency tropes the actual language and social customs are torturous. Have you read dear Jane? I mean all credit to her, she invented the novel as we know it and I adore anything that puts Colin Firth in breeches but to sit down and read one of her stories now is onerous. We don't speak like that anymore and there are hours of nothing to do. I love Regency love stories for the tension that the social mores of that time yield. But I also love a good laugh. These books give me the tropes I love, laughter, and women I can see myself and my friends in. These are women you can imagine hatching plans with and enjoying a good laugh at how it all turned out afterwards.
If the women aren't related how are they the "Heiresses of Eris"?
One of the Regency tropes I love is the informal "club", usually men bound together over a common distrust of women or some such nonsense which in the end they all get over. Eris is the Greek goddess of chaos. She's the one who started the Trojan War by tossing an apple into a group of goddesses that said "to the fairest". She really knew how to stir the pot! These girls cause their own sort of mayhem. None of them were comfortable in the roles society assigned them. All of them decided to take matters into their own hands. That they all met was fate. When they did, they dubbed themselves the Heiresses of Eris. They knew what they were from the start.
