He's a beast, but she's much more than a beauty

Louisa's love of fairy tales never included ones where the heroine was married off against her will by her social-climbing parents. And for that, Mr. Colin Campbell was going to pay dearly. If he thought she was difficult before... So why can't she get the thought of him as the great beast in the fairytale out of her head? And why does that thought make her go all squirmy inside?

Colin's only wish in marrying Louisa was to get the trading routes he needed for his Mercantile chain. Oh and to be the mother of his toddling daughter. That he neglected to tell her about the child was more pragmatic than anything else. He would do anything for his Bonnie, even marry a woman, he barely knows.

This marriage of convenience becomes highly inconvenient when tempers flare and hearts collide. And when a man with a managing wife finds she can manage just fine without him.

Heiresses of Eris series: Difficult women and men strong enough to love them.

HEA, No Cheating, Completed Series

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, 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.

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.

About the steamy sex?
Yes, there is sex in the books. Of course there is sex in the books! These people love each other and frankly, are as shocked by it as anyone. Sex and lust are easier to rationalize than love. Love makes you do crazy things like help someone against your own best interests just so you can see them happy. Sex is the easier thing to explain. It feels good. And the sex scenes are part of the character's growth. Trust me, Regency couples had sex, why do you think there were so many rules against it?
