A winter’s heart…

“Debonair, handsome and with a devil’s smile. How could any woman resist?”

The Marquess of Winterbourne has long been guided by his Rules of the Rogue, but as spy for the Crown, his next mission will break every single one. Sent to the wilds of Cornwall to beguile secrets from a lady, the last thing this rogue expects is to unearth his own buried heart.

A taste of spring…

"A scandalous rake. How could any woman succumb?”

Miss Tamsyn Penrose remains far from impressed by London scoundrel Lord Winterbourne, preferring a wild gallop over the moors to sinful lips and fulsome flattery. But as danger lurks and her prejudice ebbs, she uncovers a man of contradictions, a man who awakens her forgotten fire.

Seasons collide…

In a Cornish land of cove and mystery, desire sparks and passion flares. But will Jack Winterbourne tear up the rules for a woman who maddens his senses and thaws his heart?

A sensual Regency Romance with warmth and wit, this tale also includes a fusty valet, Lord Byron, picnics, swordplay, peacocks and...piskies.

Note: contains scenes of a sexual nature.

These books can be read stand-alone or as part of the Rules of the Rogue Series.

Marquess to a Flame is the third book in the Rules of the Rogue series by Emily Windsor. I think Jack is my favorite, which isn't surprising. His attitude and sense of humor is super fun, and I've been looking forward to getting his story. I love how he's talks like he's this big, bad man-whore, but he has these standards he follows too. The Rules these rogues follow through the series really add to their charm and overall appeal. Jack's quite adorable. Tamsyn is no damsel in distress. Though she's suffered some pretty harsh trauma and has dealt with it in her own way...she's still got some pluck to her. These two were fun! I thoroughly enjoyed their story.

Emily grew up in the north of England on a diet of historical romance and classical mythology.

Unfortunately, you couldn’t study Georgian slang or the Regency London Season, so she did the next best thing and gained a degree in Classics and History instead. This ‘led’ to an eight-year stint in engineering.

Having left city life, she now lives in a dilapidated farmhouse in the country where her days are spent writing, fixing the leaky roof, battling the endless vegetation and finding pictures of well-tied cravats.
