Contains Phantasmagoria & The Ghosts of Christmas' Past

1800—For three years, Miss Bella Rushdale has enjoyed a hedonistic and thoroughly scandalous ménage à trois with her bisexual lovers, Viscount Lucerne Marlinscar, and Vaughan, Marquis of Pennerley. All that changes when Vaughan vanishes without warning or explanation, leaving their tempestuous relationship in flux.

Initially thrilled to have Lucerne all to herself, things soon sour when Bella discovers Lucerne is not the man she believed him to be. Moreover, her soul longs for what they’ve lost.

Determined to reclaim Vaughan and set things to rights again, Bella pursues him to his family seat, a castle on the Welsh Border, where preparations are underway for a diabolical gothic celebration on All Hallows Eve—a phantasmagoria.

Dark, brooding, and burning with passion, Vaughan is far from thrilled by Bella’s arrival, particularly when his true love remains absent. His volatility only increases when Lucerne arrives impenitent. Here in the wilds, amidst the shadows and phantoms, Bella and her lovers peel away the deceits and desires of past and future to expose the shocking heart of their volatile relationship and what they truly mean to one another.

Phantasmagoria is a dark, tempestuous, spicy Regency historical romance featuring three tortured souls who live for passion, heart-searing angst, obsession, cruelty, diabolical behaviour, and decadence. Expect ribald language, MMF interactions, and tangled relationships. Best keep a stiff tipple and the smelling salts to hand.

The Ghosts of Christmas' Past

It’s Christmas Eve 1800 and three former lovers reflect on the past, present and future of their turbulent relationship.

Two months ago, Lucerne Marlinscar broke two hearts in addition to his own when he ended his scandalous relationship with Vaughan, Marquis of Pennerley and Miss Bella Rushdale. Now alone on his Yorkshire estate, he’s haunted by the events of the past.

In Shropshire, unwilling to forgo his obsession, Vaughan takes an icy plunge to retrieve a precious object. Only to then find another such treasure awaiting him in bed.

Meanwhile, Bella hardens her resolve, and seeks love beneath the mistletoe. She knows Vaughan will never truly be hers, but can she win enough of his heart that he doesn’t turn her out?

Through a series of engaging vignettes, the Ghosts of Christmas Past reveals compelling new details and layers to a complex relationship. This Regency-set historical romance includes M/F, M/M and M/M/F interactions. Please be advised that this is not intended as a standalone title but is best enjoyed as a prelude to the final book in the series.
