A beautiful widow at the mercy of selfish relatives . . .
A duke broken by a terrible secret . . .
Lady Elise Ruthersby is with child when her husband is killed, and his family awaits the birth to see who will be the new earl. A daughter arrives, relegating Elise to the status of a servant as she becomes the unpaid governess to her two nephews.
Weston Wallace, the Duke of Treadwell, learns a devastating secret about his fiancée the night before their wedding, causing him to break their engagement. He becomes London’s most notorious rake, with a firm rule that he only beds a woman once.
When Elise and her daughter are trapped in a carriage struck by a flaming tree in a perilous storm, Weston rescues the pair. Years of cynicism fall to the wayside as he becomes captivated by the beautiful widow and her enchanting daughter. Weston decides he must marry the woman who has thawed his cold heart without scaring her away because of his vile reputation.
The two strike a bargain where Elise will help Weston navigate the Marriage Mart during the upcoming Season if he will help her find a husband. Little does the unsuspecting widow know that London’s most infamous womanizer has already decided who his duchess will be.

Know the Hero from Wait for Me by Rue Allyn @RueAllyn #RLFblog #RegencyRomance #ReadARegency
Enemies born of battle meet unexpectedly when stranded at a run-down inn. Neither trusts the other, so how can they possibly fall in love?Rue Allyn, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your hero, but first, tell us about Wait for Me.
Wait for Me by Rue Allyn
Genre A Regency era Romance novella and part of the Storm and Shelter collection by The Bluestocking Belles and Friends. Storm and Shelter is available now for Pre-order at $.99, on April 13, 2021—release day—the price goes up.
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
About Storm and Shelter: When a storm blows off the North Sea and slams into the village of Fenwick on Sea, the villagers prepare for the inevitable: shipwreck, flood, land slips, and stranded travelers. The Queen’s Barque Inn quickly fills with the injured, the devious, and the lonely—lords, ladies, and simple folk; spies, pirates, and smugglers all trapped together. Intrigue crackles through the village, and passion lights up the hotel. One storm, eight authors, eight heartwarming novellas.
About Wait for Me: Enemies by nature—Esmeralda Crobbin, aka the pirate Irish Red, and Captain, Lord Brandon Gilroy have met before. Fate trumps nature—When a fierce storm creates a chance encounter and forced proximity, erstwhile pirate, Esmeralda discovers Captain Gilroy is more than a uniform stuffed with rules and regulations. Gilroy learns the pirate is a woman of serious honor and responsibility. Both love the sea with boundless passion, but can they love each other?
Know the Hero from Wait for Me
It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?
“I’m never bored,” insists Captain Gilroy. “If the navy does not have orders enough to keep me occupied, the sea is endlessly demanding.”
What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?
“What type of food I purchase is unimportant. I would buy the most economical option, since I would be spending the king’s coin and not my own.”
Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.
“If I cannot be in uniform—which will happen all too soon—I prefer the comfortable clothing of a country gentleman.”
Does he know how to fix things?
“A sailor, regardless of rank, must know how to make repairs with ingenuity, as supplies are often scarce.”
He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.“It embarrasses me to confess, that I was once defeated in battle by a female pirate. I can only blame youth and inexperience. I was a raw lieutenant at the time.”
What is he like first thing in the morning?
“As long as I get my breakfast promptly, I am quite civil in the mornings.”
How does he handle things when in a “proper” social situation?
“Any naval officer would conduct himself with the utmost propriety. Afterall we represent the King.”
Valet or takes care of himself?
“I find valets a nuisance.”
Necktie/cravat or open shirt?
“Open shirt? In uniform? Never!”
Powdered wig or natural hair?
“Wigs and powder are the very devil of a nuisance at sea. On land, I would wear such only when ordered to.”
Carriage or horseback?
“Ship of course. On land horseback is my preference. Carriages are only for necessity.”
Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!

Dare to be a Duchess by Sapna Bhog
Genre Regency Historical Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings):
Lara Ramsay is no stranger to scandal. As the orphaned daughter of a British colonel and his beloved Indian wife, whispers follow her everywhere. Not even the protection of the formidable Duke of Wolverton, a man she can’t stand, keeps the gossips at bay.
The audacious Lara has driven Tristan Wentworth, The Duke of Wolverton, to distraction since the day his uncle took her in—and he’s quite certain doing so is her favorite pastime. After catching her and his younger sister at a salacious masquerade, he’s had enough scandal, and issues a marriage ultimatum: find a husband within six months or one will be chosen for her.
Unfortunately, no one in the ton appeals to her. Except, perhaps, the duke himself. The battle of wills has only just begun, and when Lara kisses him, their fate is sealed.
Sometimes even the most proper duke needs to break the rules to win the heart of the woman he loves…

Phoebe Smythe, Countess of Borwick, suffers a tragic miscarriage when she learns her husband and young son have been killed in a carriage accident. The grieving widow retreats to an isolated cottage on the coast of Cornwall, where she finds a smuggler who’s washed ashore, blood leaking from a bullet wound.
Captain Andrew Graham returns home from the Napoleonic Wars after the death of his older brother, finding his father on his deathbed. Soon he becomes the Duke of Windham and must deal not only with numerous responsibilities but his wayward half-brother, who has amassed a mountain of debt and then shoots Andrew so he can become the new duke.
Andrew awakens to an angel of mercy, Mrs. Smith, a middle-class widow who nurses him back to health. She thinks he’s a criminal, which amuses him, but he soon falls in love with her beauty and spirit. On the day he decides to ask for her hand in marriage, she disappears and he has no way to find her – until he spies her across a London ballroom.
Though her heart belongs to the Cornish smuggler she left behind, Phoebe places herself once more on the Marriage Mart. She yearns to be a mother again – which means finding a husband.

Genre: Regency Romantic Suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Plagued by hellish memories and rattling visions of battle to come, a Scottish Baron returning from two decades at war meets the daughter he denied was his, and the wife he divorced, and learns that everything he’d believed to be true was a lie. What he can’t deny is that she’s the only woman he’s ever loved. They’re not the young lovers they once were, but when passion flares, it burns more hotly than ever it did in their youth.
They soon discover, it wasn’t fate that drove them apart, but a jealous enemy, who played on his youthful arrogance and her vulnerability. Now that old enemy has resurfaced, more treacherous than ever. When his lady falls into a trap, can he reach her in time to rescue this love that never died?
Why did you write this book?
Fated Hearts is part of the Tragic Characters in Classic Lit project, wherein a group of Regency romance authors are taking tragic characters and with complete artistic license, setting them in Georgian era England and giving them a happily-ever-after. I couldn’t resist the challenge of retelling Macbeth’s story.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Historical romance, and historical mystery
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
Rupert Carsington, from Loretta Chase’s Mr. Impossible
What are you working on at the moment?
A Christmas novella for 2021 release.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
In April, my novella The Comtesse of Midnight will appear in the Storm & Shelter Anthology.
