Romance Historical

Thomasina "Tommy" de Ballesteros, the bastard daughter of a duke, has the men of London at her feet. But with a secret mission to save the children of London from the fate she suffered as an illegitimate child, she has nothing but scorn for men—especially those like playboy Jonathan Redmond. But when Redmond himself discovers her in a compromising nocturnal position, she's left with a far more challenging task: controlling her heart and refusing her desires.

Jonathan Redmond is well on his way to becoming a first-class rake. With his devastatingly good looks, the Redmond family fortune, and an effortless charm with the ladies, he's got the world at his fingertips. There's just one catch: Fortold by a gypsy woman that he'll sire ten children, Redmond isn't letting women anywhere near his heart. That is, until an unforgettable midnight encounter with the alarmingly willful, self-possessed Tommy makes him rethink everything, even the possibility of succumbing to prophesy—and love.

What fun. And as for the question, my answer is It's inevitable it will happen again. Yippee. Thanks for a chance to win. Best of luck with the newest book - and all to come in the future.

Looks like a good curl up book.
(Jess Nekoranec 9:26am July 3, 2013)

Of course it would happen again. I ordered it through the book depository and it's supposed to today! Can't wait to read it! :)

Btw, my favorite book is What I did for a duke. I think I relate to heroine because I am a bit shy too. :) Although Like No other lover is another favorite because I cried so much in the end. :)
(May Pau 9:34am July 3, 2013)

I think it will most definitely happen again. I love how you built up the intensity - with the pupils especially - I find that to be true in real life.
(Carla Carlson 10:35am July 3, 2013)

Oh, what a great tease!
(Cheryl Castings 10:50am July 3, 2013)

Oh my gosh, my heart is beating so fast. I want to read this
so bad!!!! Best series ever. and of course it happens
again!!!!
(Jessica Huff 12:10pm July 3, 2013)

Great snippet.
(Cathy Hurley 12:13pm July 3, 2013)

Oh it has to happen again! How could it now? I can't wait to
read this one. When you started writing this series, did you
envision it would go on for this long? This is quickly
becoming one of those series I hope will never end :)
(Ada H. 12:18pm July 3, 2013)

I love this series! So stinking much but I especially loved It Happened One Midnight. I think it's my new favorite of the series.
(Megan Burliname 12:21pm July 3, 2013)

I've been enjoying this series and am almost finished with this book. The initial scene between Tommy and the duke was heartbreaking. Also, the scenes with little Sara and Charles were sweet and really showed another side of Jonathan.

I have two questions: Will Lyon somehow get word that Olivia is moving on? Something will eventually bring him home. Secondly, I think it was in I Kissed an Earl that you gave us a glimpse of how Isaiah Redmond made his money. Also, there is the matter of his refusal to allow Cynthia into his home. So as you planned out this series, did you envision him as a complete villain or just a very flawed man?
(Kim C 12:23pm July 3, 2013)

Oh of course they kiss again, how could they not. I am so
looking forward to getting to Jonathan's story. I just started
"What I Did For a Duke" so I have a little ways to go, but I
already have a soft spot for Jonathan and can't wait to see if
his gypsy fortune comes true.
(Sarah Rosenbarker 12:28pm July 3, 2013)

that was a great little taste of the book, of course I now
want to know if it happens again and again.
(Tina Gilligan 12:32pm July 3, 2013)

Why of course it will happen again. I'm a big fan of this series, thanks for writing it and offering this giveaway!
(Jamie Fortney 12:34pm July 3, 2013)

Ah the excerpt is such a tease! I'm truly excited to get
started on the series which I will start after the wedding I
have to attend this weekend. thanks for the giveaway
(Sandy Xiong 1:10pm July 3, 2013)

Of course it will! Your books are luscious! Just finished
"The Perills of Pleasure" and I was entranced.
(Maryjane Turbett 1:20pm July 3, 2013)

:) of course it will happen again!
(Colleen Conklin 1:53pm July 3, 2013)

Good morning girls!! It took me a while to be able to log in (more
technical snafus!)-- sorry about that -- but thank you all so much for
stopping by! :) I'm so thrilled you're enjoying the series and I hope you
enjoy Jonathan and Tommy's book as much as the others, if you haven't
yet had a chance to read it! To answer a few specific questions: I can't
tell you about Lyon yet, Kim!! :) Or rather, I *can*, but I really don't want
to give anything away just yet! BUT...what do YOU think? And as for
Isaiah...no one in the series is all good, or all a vilain -- he's a very
flawed man, and driven by power and wealth, but he does love his
family. In trying to control them he thinks he's doing what's best for
them. Fortunately, love always wins in the end! ;) Good questions!!
Thank you!

Ada, I did envision a long series! I wanted it to be like, oh, a long-
running soap opera, where you're invested in the lives of the characters,
and come to know the families, their friends, and so forth. It gave me
much more latitude as a writer to come up with interesting stories!! I'm
so delighted you've enjoying the books!

And yay, Maryjane, I'm so glad you were entranced by The Perils of
Pleasure! Hope you enjoy the rest of the books in the series, too! :)
(Julie Long 1:55pm July 3, 2013)

the beautiful covers on your books have draw me in and I must say I've not been
disappointed in the stories inside. Love reading your books.
(Jackie Wisherd 2:25pm July 3, 2013)

Sounds fab! I cannot wait to read it!
(Annie Tegelan 3:22pm July 3, 2013)

It will definitely happen again! :)
(Sue Galuska 4:27pm July 3, 2013)

(Kai Wong 9:04pm July 3, 2013)

(Jennifer Beyer 9:40pm July 3, 2013)

Love this series--of course it will happen again!
(Emily McNee 10:29pm July 3, 2013)

I've read, "What I Did For A Duke" and I thought it was an
awesome read. Got me interested in the series as a whole. The
excerpt is intriguing! - Doesn't it always happen again

(Penny Mettert 3:32pm July 5, 2013)

You are leading us on and we readers know to not be fooled
with ultimatums and that famous word, "Not." Of course, he'll
pursue her, and we'll hear a whole lot more squeaks, maybe
even louder.
(Alyson Widen 5:30pm July 5, 2013)

What can I possibly add to the concensus--of course, again!
(Janet Martin 4:43pm July 6, 2013)

It will happen again. ;-)
(Marcy Shuler 6:56pm July 7, 2013)
