NO LESS THAN A MARQUESS is out now!
New book! Closing out the trilogy!
The third book in my Regency trilogy is here!

In this book, Fletcher’s best friend Louisa gets engaged to a handsome duke, and Fletcher feels very weird about it, but can’t put a finger on why. I bet you can guess. Then the handsome duke starts acting suspiciously, and Louisa thinks maybe she shouldn’t marry him, and also Fletcher looks quite handsome these days. It’s best friends but also idiots to lovers as Fletcher and Louisa work together to unravel the duke’s plot.
If you missed the first two books in the series, I recommend going back and starting with I Never Forget a Duke, because the books are interrelated, and the secondary romance that plays out across all three books concludes here, and Lark and Anthony finally get their happily ever after, although I put them through the emotional wringer first.
The reading order (with links to buy the books) is:
I Never Forget a Duke (the titular duke gets amnesia)
Everything but the Earl (arranged marriage)
No Less than a Marquess (friends/idiots to lovers)
Like a comeback to someone insulting to you that you come up with in the shower three days later, today as I’m putting together my publicity stuff for the No Less than a Marquess release, my brain is like, “But what if we had called it Say Yes to the Marquess,” but then I thought, “well, someone probably already had that idea, and also the book is already out, so the title is the title,” and while I am very proud of the titles I came up with for this series, well, no one should let me come up with book titles, is I think the lesson here.
But anyway, you can now read all three books! Enjoy!
Here’s the full description of No Less than a Marquess:
Love was right in front of them all along...
Fletcher Basildon, the Marquess of Greystone, and Lady Louisa Petty have been friends since they played together—and pulled pranks—as children. Although Fletcher and Louisa often attend the opera and other social events together, they regard each other as siblings. But when the handsome Duke of Rotherfield offers for Louisa’s hand, Fletcher suddenly realizes he’s jealous—and determined to show Louisa that he’s the better man.
When Louisa discovers some uncomfortable truths about her future husband and starts to suspect he has ulterior motives, she goes to Fletcher for help. Fletcher has always been there to save her, and she desperately needs him now.
Only the duke has carefully constructed the matrimonial trap he’d set for Louisa—one that will be almost impossible to escape. Then again, Louisa and Fletcher have spent their whole lives breaking the rules. An unsavory engagement should be easy.
