Have you read my series ‘The Governess Bureau’?

If you adore long historical romances with a little mystery thrown in, then you should absolutely be reading my series The Governess Bureau. Each book is half again the size of my other Regencies, and in every one, the governess heroine has to solve a mystery – and the entire series is in Kindle Unlimited, so if you’re a member you can read all six books for free…

When a governess of great talents is required, there is only one place the nobility of England go: the Governess Bureau.

It was why Miss Meredith Hubert had worked so hard to gain her place there. Finishing with the Earl of Marnmouth’s children, she is about to be given her next assignment – a Duke called Alfred Carmichael with a reputation to maintain and a half-brother who needs controlling.

When a governess of great talents is required, there is only one place the nobility of England go: The Governess Bureau.

And one of the most trusted? Miss Anne Gilbert. She’s known for keeping her employer’s secrets, and when she is selected by the Earl of Clarcton, that is precisely why. Because the Earl, Timothy Lexington, has secrets. Secrets he has worked hard to keep from the world for the last two years. While scandal waits in the wings, Clarcton Castle has entire wings that are shut off and the Countess is nowhere to be found.

When a governess of many languages is required, there is only one place the nobility of England go: the Governess Bureau.

Of course, Miss Elizabeth Fletcher doesn’t broadcast that information – nor that she is an expert in the care of twins. All she wants is a duke assignment. Stuart Morton, Lord Galcrest, gives her the nickname ‘the mouse’ when he hires her as a joke for his friends, he’s never taken life seriously and doesn’t want to start now. But when they arrive, bickering, at the home of the duc d’Allaire, everything changes. There’s a mysterious rift between their hosts, and both Elizabeth and Stuart are plunged into situations neither can control…

READ NOW: Don’t Fancy Your Chance

by Emily

When a rake isn’t all what he seems, and a woman he’s overlooked suddenly catches his eye, a battle of wits – and wills – is about to begin… Read this book NOW – free in Kindle Unlimited!

Lord Alexander Chance has a reputation he doesn’t deserve—and one he’s trying to avoid.

That’s the trouble with allowing your friends to bed widows in your name; it keeps scandal from their door, but marks you out as the biggest rogue in Society.

Alexander never minded, but now he’s got Lady Marjorie Dalton, prim and proper and hater of liars, in his sights, and all of a sudden this rakish reputation is not helping his seduction techniques: it’s hindering him.

Lady Marjorie Dalton can hardly believe the scoundrel of Society is attempting to seduce her, and she is asbsolutely, definitely, positively not going to fall for it.

Even when Alexander opens up and is vulnerable about his past.

Even when he reveals he cannot offer marriage yet with no income, but wants to.

Even when they get trapped at an inn during a storm and she asks him to ravish—wait a moment.

Lady Marjorie had never fancied Alexander’s chances, but her walls are crumbling and only a terrible scandal can force them apart.

When it does, will Alexander be brave enough to face Society…or lose his love forever?

This novel continues the highly anticipated Chance family drama, with sixteen cousins and triple the problems. Tropes include: rake/wallflower, only one bed, redeem the rake, and of course, Emily E K Murdoch’s tried and true method of sizzling, joyful romance.

This full length novel is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order.

Have you checked out my Patreon?

by Emily

If you have never heard of Patreon, you are not alone. Not everyone has! I hope this short blog will give you an idea of how you can support me in a new and exciting way.

So first off, what is Patreon?

Patreon is a website where anyone can sign up to support a creative person for just a few dollars a month, in exchange for rewards. It is a modern re-imagining of the medieval and renaissance idea of a ‘patron’, a wealthy person who pays the salary of an artist, creative, or engineer, so that they can get the prestige of being their supporter.

But thanks to Patreon, you don’t need to be rich to be a Patreon supporter, and you’ll still get a whole ton of rewards!

On my Patreon page, which you can find here, there are three different levels of support. Each level costs a different amount a month, and as you would expect, the higher the financial support, the more rewards.

I’d really encourage you, if you want exclusive insights, behind the scenes, early access to chapters, and free books, my Patreon is the place to be.

Please check out my Patreon and consider whether you’d like to take your support of me to the next level!
