SECRETS FOR SEDUCING A ROYAL BODYGUARD

The Renegade Royals

 VANESSA KELLY

 In matters of desire, he’s the perfect teacher…

“Full of intrigue, emotion and sensuality.”

–Katharine Ashe

 

In this witty, sensual new series, Vanessa Kelly introduces the Renegade Royals, illegitimate heirs to the throne who are finding their rightful places in society… 

Accomplished spy Aden St. James prefers to stay away from the frivolous ton, especially after the way his mother was used by the Prince Regent. But his latest mission compels him to guard unconventional, vibrant Lady Vivien Shaw. Rescuing her from kidnappers was easy. Resisting her beauty is not. Duty demands he keep an eye on her—and naturally, his lips soon follow. For someone who views entanglements as a weakness, this is pure, delicious folly… 

Though grateful for Aden’s help, Vivien has secrets she must keep hidden. Yet with her abductors still at large, she needs Aden’s protection almost as much as she craves his touch…

Pretty cool, eh?  I am SO excited about this book!  And in case you’re interested, it’s available for pre-order on Amazon and Barnes & Noble! <g>


Cover Reveal!!

It’s been an exciting week for me!  My editor sent me the covers for the first works in my upcoming historical series with Kensington Publishing, The Renegade Royals.  This is the cover for Lost in a Royal Kiss, which is the e-novella that kicks the series off.  Isn’t it simply gorgeous?!

And here’s the blurb:

In this thrilling introduction to her Renegade Royals series, Vanessa Kelly transports readers to the court of King George III—where a London street urchin unwittingly plays Cupid, ushering in a new era—and ultimately a new kind of royal…

With her widowed mother working long hours as governess to the royal children, Linnet St. Clare must look after her siblings and run the household. Now she must add to her worries the fate of Dominic, a poor orphan who has inspired the wrath of the king himself. Clearly Linnet has no time to consider her own desires—much less notice the attentions of a certain handsome, powerful magistrate…

Sir Anthony Tait is at a loss for how to capture Linnet’s interest. If only she would be still long enough for courting. Outright seduction seems the only answer. But will his kisses be enough to persuade her—or might Anthony have something to learn from young Dominic about matters of the heart? And in saving the boy’s future, might Anthony and Linnet at last create their own?

Cool, eh?  Later this weekend I’ll publish the cover and blurb for book one in the series, Secrets for Seducing a Royal Bodyguard.  Oh, and Lost in a Royal Kiss will be out in December, with Secrets to follow in January.  More details to come!!
