    Embraced by a Rogue a new #regency by @Collette_Author #RLFblog

    This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces the story.

    About the Author

    A bestselling, award-winning author Collette Cameron pens Scottish and Regency historicals featuring rogues, rapscallions, rakes, and the intelligent, intrepid damsels who reform them.
    Blessed with three spectacular children, fantastic fans, and a compulsive, over-active, and witty Muse who won’t stop whispering new romantic romps in her ear, she lives in Oregon with her husband and five mini-dachshunds, though she dreams of living in Scotland part-time.
    Admitting to a quirky sense of humor, Collette enjoys inspiring quotes, adores castles and anything cobalt blue, and is a self-confessed Cadbury chocoholic. You’ll always find dogs, birds, occasionally naughty humor, and a dash of inspiration in her sweet-to-spicy timeless romances.

    Interview with Collette Cameron

    Why did you write this book?
    Embraced by a Rogue is a limited edition collection containing the first three novellas in my Waltz with a Rogue Novella Series.
    I wanted to give readers the opportunity to read all three of the stories which take place at the Wimpleton’s ball, and feature familiar characters.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    Historical romance!  I’m particularly fond of an medieval, Scottish, and Regency, though I’ve read many other subgenres too.
    I became hooked on historicals when I was thirteen and a friend gave  me a Barbara Cartland Regency.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I always struggle with this question, because it’s difficult to pick just one. Right now I confess to an infatuation with Ross Poldark and Jamie Fraser. I think it’s the accents!
    What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I am finishing up Scandal’s Splendor, Book 3 in my Highland Heather Romancing a Scot series, and then I have to jump right into writing a novella for a boxed set releasing in July.
    I’ll be writing the fifth and sixth books in the Highland Heather Romancing a Scot Series as well as Intentions Gone Afoul, book 3 in my Conundrum of the Misses Culpeppers,  and—takes a deep breath—writing two more novellas, one for my A Waltz with A Rogue Novella series.
    I don’t plan on doing much else this year but writing!  
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    Embraced by a Rogue: A Trilogy of Enticing Second Chance Romances
    True love deserves a second chance.
    One magical night, Fate orchestrates the reunion of three pairs of lovers at the same Regency ball. Beneath a balmy starlit sky, do the wounded rogues and the resilient women who once adored them, dare open their hearts and gamble on love one final time?  
    For the first time ever, bestselling, award winning historical romance author Collette Cameron  offers A Waltz with a Rogue Novellas #1-3 in an emotionally stirring limited edition collection.
    A Kiss for Miss Kingsley A sweet romance of love relinquished and redeemed as once betrothed Allen Wimpleton and Olivia Kingsley meet again after a three year separation only to discover, their love is stronger than ever.
    Bride of Falcon A tender tale of enduring love, Bride of Falcon, unites a clumsy noblewoman resigned to spinsterhood with the man she’s loved since girlhood; a penniless soldier who returns to England from India, a disfigured and disillusioned man.
    Her Scandalous Wish When an obligatory marriage offers turns into an unexpected second chance for love, Viscount Kingsley seizes it, but Philomena’s desperation-borne acceptance forces her to trust the man who betrayed her once already.

    Schemes Gone Amiss a new #Regency by @Collette_Author #RLFblog

    This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces the story.

    About the Author

    Bestselling, award-winning Historical Romance Author, Collette Cameron, pens Scottish and Regency Romances featuring rogues, rapscallions, rakes, and the intrepid damsels who reform them. Mother to three and self-proclaimed Cadbury chocoholic, she’s crazy about dachshunds, cobalt blue, and makes her home in Oregon with her husband and five mini-dachshunds. You’ll always find animals, quirky—sometimes naughty—humor, and a dash of inspiration in her novels. Her motto for life? You can’t have too much chocolate, too many hugs, too many flowers, or too many books. She’s thinking about adding shoes to that list.

    Interview with Collette Cameron

    Why did you write this book?
    Schemes Gone Amiss is the second book in my Conundrums of the Misses Culpepper series.
    Readers met Blythe Culpepper in the first book, Wagers Gone Awry, when she and Lord Leventhorpe butted heads from the moment the met.
    I couldn’t wait to tell their story.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I love historical romances, especially anything medieval, Scottish, Victorian or Regency.  I got hooked at an early age, and though I read other genres on occasion, historicals remain my favorite.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I’m rather partial to both Jamie Fraser and  Ross Poldark. See, more historicals!
    What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I’m working on Scandal’s Splendor, the 4th book in my Highland Heather Romancing a Scot Series. I hope to complete the 6 book series this year as well as write the 3rd book in the Conundrums of the Misses Culpepper series and another Waltz with a Rogue novella.
    I’m going to be very busy!
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    Intrepid and outspoken, Blythe Culpepper is dragged against her will to London for a Season. To her dismay, her guardian enlists the devilishly attractive Lord Leventhorpe, the one man she detests, to assist with her Come Out. Since their first encounter, hostile looks and cutting retorts have abounded whenever they meet, yet she cannot deny the way her body reacts when he’s near. So perhaps it’s no surprise that upon overhearing another woman scheming to entrap Tristan into marriage, Blythe risks all to warn him.
    Haunted by childhood trauma, Tristan, the austere and controlled Marquis of Leventhorpe, usually avoids social gatherings. So why, against his better judgement, does he agree to aid his closet friend in presenting the Culpeppers to the ton? Might it be because one Culpepper stirs more than his interest? Blythe taxes him to his limits with her sharp wit and even sharper tongue. Yet, he cannot deny the beauty fascinates him. However, when an old enemy comes calling, using Blythe to settle old scores, Tristan must decide if protecting his honor is more important than winning the heart of the woman he has come to love.

    Author Collette Cameron
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
         Brooke Culpepper resigned herself to spinsterhood when she turned down the only marriage proposal she’d likely ever receive to care for her family. After her father dies, a distant cousin inherits the estate and becomes their guardian but permits Brooke to act in his stead.
         Heath, Earl of Ravensdale is none-too-pleased to discover five young women call the dairy farm he won and intends to sell, their home. Desperate, pauper poor, and with nowhere to go, Brooke proposes a wager. His stakes? The farm. Hers? Her virtue. The land holds no interest for Heath, but Brooke does and he accepts her challenge.
         Brooke loses, and her devastation is compounded when the cousin arrives, intending to haul the Culpepper misses off to London. Heath astounds himself and proposes in order to apply for guardianship of the other girls. Does Brooke dare marry the handsome stranger who’d been bent on compromising her? Will Heath regret his impulsive gesture, or will unexpected love flourish?
