Happy May!
Hi everyone,
I almost can’t believe it, but No Other Duke But You, the FINAL Playful Brides novel is available now. It’s book #11 and the story of Delilah Montebank and Thomas Hobbs. The rompish plot was inspired by Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and you don’t need to have read all the other books to enjoy it (but it doesn’t hurt).
SINGLE LADY SEEKS DUKE
Lady Delilah Montebank has her marital sights set on the Duke of Branville. There’s just one problem: he barely knows she exists. But no matter, she’s got a plan to win him over with her charm, her wit—and perhaps the love potion she has in her possession wouldn’t hurt her cause…
Lord Thomas Hobbs, Duke of Huntley, thinks his best friend Delilah’s quest to become a duchess is ridiculous. He’s always said he’d rather give up all the brandy in London than commit to one person for life. Besides, he knows that Delilah’s love potion can’t possibly win over Branville…since she gave it to him accidentally instead. But perhaps this is the excuse he needs to show her he’s always loved her.
Delilah can’t believe she gave the potion to the wrong duke. Then again, Delilah could do a lot worse than win the hand of her handsome best friend. Could it be that the right duke has been before her eyes all along?
Reviewers are digging it!
“A historical romance with a Shakespeare theme, containing quirky characters, love triangles, and magic potions, No Other Duke But You is a romance you will not soon forget!” – Lady with a Quill
“NO OTHER DUKE BUT YOU is just like a delicious Dr. Pepper. Very bubbly, sweet and very refreshing!” – Romance Junkies

What I’m Up To…
In May, I’m taking a much-needed break from writing, but look for the cover reveal of the first book of my new contemporary romantic comedy trilogy in June’s news! If you want to see it early, be sure to sign up for my newsletter.
Have a lovely May and thank you for reading my latest news!

I FINALLY received this book from the library, and it was so worth the wait! I so enjoyed these two young lovers story! I wept with and laughed with them both, as it was a very moving story. I was SO impressed that Thomas, a young man that lived in the times when men were the bigger whores, was yet able to come and present himself to Delilah a virgin…
Loved it, loved it, loved it…
Thank you so much, Clara!
