New Release from Joanne Wadsworth – Her Pirate Prince.

♥ HER PIRATE PRINCE ♥

The Mediterranean isn’t safe.

An irritating fact to be sure, but that won’t stop Captain Anteros Bourbon from showing his new wife around his Mediterranean island of Paradiso. His island borders the volatile sea where the Barbary corsairs reign, or at least they did reign. He now does, and he won’t allow any corsair to step foot on his land. Unfortunately, it appears one corsair has, as well as now stolen his wife right out from under his nose.

That corsair clearly has a death wish.

Furious, Anteros sets out to engage in a battle like no other. He intends on destroying the man who has gotten in his way, retrieve the woman he loves then ensure every single enemy he has (of which he has plenty) understands the brutal lengths he’ll go to, to keep his loved ones safe.

Death wishes, hopefully, can be dealt with.

Get it now and escape to the high seas where anything goes. (Novella of 31,000 words.)

Her Pirate Prince – Here’s a tasty excerpt:

Anteros took a running jump and seized the slit in the craggy rock cliff face.

Swinging upward, he nabbed each hand and foothold and climbed.

Halfway up, he caught the distinct mark on the rock of where the intruder had left their booted scuffmark behind. He was more than ready to throttle this interloper.

“Anteros!” Olivia shouted from below on the beach, her hands cupped to her mouth. “Where are you going?”

“To find out exactly who has dared to step foot on this island.” All the residents of Paradiso knew not to trespass on Gioiello. It belonged to him and his family alone.

“Perhaps it was Giovani returning for the basket?” She gave him a hopeful look.

“No, he knew I wished for absolute privacy with you this day.” He grabbed the next handhold and heaved up. Something fluttered about in a slit in the rock directly above his head. A piece of paper. He climbed toward it, made the ledge and shuffled along.

Carefully, he plucked the paper from the slit and turned it over. It was sealed with red wax holding the Dey of Algiers’ insignia.

“What have you found?” On the tips of her stockinged toes, she peered up at him.

“A message from Dey Hazim.” Under his breath, he growled as he broke the seal. After he unfolded the paper, he read out loud, “La morte viene per la tua sposa.”

“Morte. Isn’t that death?” Shock vibrated through Olivia’s voice.

“Sì. Death comes for your bride. That is the message Hazim has sent us.” He stuffed the message into his pocket, stabbed his fingers into the next handhold and swung higher. Whoever had delivered this message would soon know death themselves. No one, absolutely no one, threatened his wife’s life.

“Be careful, Anteros.” Olivia searched his gaze. “Please.”

“I can’t ignore this threat.” He grasped the top edge of the cliff, rolled over the precipice and keeping low in a crouch, scanned the cliff top. No one was up here, although a set of boot prints led away. He traced the prints with one finger. They were small, belonged to a child.

“Have you found something?” Olivia called, her voice getting whipped away on the breeze.

“I have.” He eased to the edge. At the base of the rock wall, she stood with her hands pressed to the craggy surface. “A set of prints, and they belong to a child.”

“Are you certain?”

“I’m certain.”

“I don’t understand.”

“Hazim is known for using children to send messages, children he considers expendable. Slave children.”

“That’s awful.” Disgust flared on her face.

“I need you to take Fedele into the trees and stay out of sight while I find the child. Promise me you’ll remain hidden.”

“I promise.” She clutched her skirts, fingers clenched tight in the red folds. “Don’t be long.”

“I won’t. Now go.” He waited as she hurried across to his horse and unknotted the reins. Only once she’d led his mount into the trees and remained hidden from his sight, did he follow the line of prints.

♥ TO LOVE DURING WAR ♥

A Clean & Sweet Historical Regency Romance

My dearest hussar,

Harry, from the day you arrived at St. Vincent’s Fort six months ago, an undeniable attraction began to simmer away between us. Whenever I got too close to you, my traitorous heart skipped a dratted beat and butterflies would abound in my belly. You have tempted me with your honor and integrity, with your deep love for your family and your fellow soldiers-in-arms. I’m aware you will fight to the death to ensure Napoleon doesn’t end up taking Portugal, and so will I. Our enemy cannot be permitted to rule all of Europe, or to force his way onto England’s shores.

I admire all that you are, but you are also from a titled English family and of far better blood than I. My true parents abandoned me as a wee baby and if not for the professor who adopted me, I would have been left to perish. That is why I will never attempt to take our friendship any deeper than I should. Days together enjoying companionable friendship is all that I’ve asked for, but this war keeps tearing us apart, as if we shouldn’t even be permitted that much.

Never fear for me, my hussar—we will both survive this coming battle. It is time for us to slay our enemy, to win this dratted war, then for you to return safely to your family.

Yours in deep friendship, Julia.

♥ THE EARL I ADORE ♥

A Clean & Sweet Historical Regency Romance

My dearest James,

Since the moment we met at the Bradford’s ball a year ago, I’ve been entranced by you. Do you remember our first meeting? I’ll never forget it. While the music played in the ballroom and everyone danced, I stepped outside for some fresh air and discovered a kitten which had gotten stuck between two branches. I picked up a nearby wooden pail, overturned it and tried to rescue the sweet wee creature. Unfortunately, as I plucked it free, I wobbled and lost my balance. You bounded over bushes to get to me, caught me in your arms and surrounded me with your strength and compassion. That night so long ago, you rescued me, and I discovered a treasure. You.

Now, I could never allow that treasure to be lost, so even though you have an investigation to run so you might uncover who killed your father and brother, I simply can’t ignore your needs and walk away as you’ve demanded. It’s now my turn to bound over bushes for you, to aid you however I can.

You have been warned.

Yours, Sophia.

Hi everyone,

The Duke Who Stole My Heart is the sweet/tame version of The Duke’s Bride.

♥ THE DUKE WHO STOLE MY HEART ♥

A Clean & Sweet Historical Regency Romance

My dearest brother,

Harry, if you receive this letter it will be because I’ve eloped with an honorable American shipping merchant and will soon be sailing far from England to his home in the Americas. This decision doesn’t come easily. I’ve tried my best to convince your dear friend, the Duke of Ashten, to live again and remove himself from his own self-imposed exile, but in doing so I have instead been reminded of the day he first stole my heart. Eight years old, I was at the time, six years younger than the two of you. I adored chasing you both down to the river, climbing trees, and watching you fish. That was when I first fell in love with Ashten, but unfortunately that love is not reciprocated, even though I wish it were.

Our dear sister posts this letter to you on my behalf as my valise is now packed and I’m about to escape from under Mama’s eagle eyes for Gretna Green. An adventure awaits me, one hopefully without a brooding duke and a battle of wills at play.

Please, remain safe during this dreadful war. I miss you, terribly.

Your ever-loving sister, Ellie.

Secrets can be titillating…
Secrets can be dangerous…
Will Rosamonde’s secrets kill her, or save her?

Lady Rosamonde Raven was a girl of seventeen when the Earl of Winterly rescued her from tragic death. Six years later, he arrives at her father’s country estate for a house party and she is still irresistibly attracted to him. Unfortunately, her father has agreed to a betrothal between her and an arrogant marquess who is more than twice her age. She is shocked at her father’s decision, but even more so, she’s shocked to learn exactly how evil the marquess truly is. There is only one man she trusts with disclosing the truth—Winterly.

There is only one woman Winterly is now set on—Rosamonde. When his lady entrusts the truth of her betrothal with him, he devises a plan. A secret marriage. He simply can’t step away from her during her greatest time of need, only when she is kidnapped by the marquess, he must ride out and save her a second time. Flying into a storm of danger, dark secrets, and deadly assignations, he enters a veritable house of terror.

Can he find and rescue his lady before he loses her forever? Or is he already too late?

Grab your copy today, because everyone loves uncovering secrets.


Hi everyone, The Earl’s Secret Bride is now here. I love this story so much, and I hope you do too. Come and join Winterly and Rosamonde on their adventure. I’ve included a tantalizing excerpt below.

Also, check out the other special deals, giveaways, and wonderful goodies below. I’ve got something for everyone.


Exclusive Excerpt:

“I am a lady, sir, and you are squishing me.” Rosamonde plucked Winterly’s fingers from her mouth. “Did you catch that mumble?”

“I did, and you’re a beautiful woman with a sassy tongue and a feisty nature. I’ve always respected and admired that trait within you.” Winterly brushed aside tendrils of her hair sweeping across her cheeks, his touch so gentle. “Your beauty shines not only from the outside, but from deep within your heart. You have cared for your mother, been her constant companion since she lost the use of her legs, and now you intend on marrying a man who would take advantage of you. You need a husband who will appreciate your inner beauty.”

“And do you know of such a man?”

“If you were permitted to enjoy a Season, you might find him without any issue at all and dare I say it, all on your own terms, without anyone else interfering in the matter.” He let out a long breath, the air warm and sultry as it fanned across her cheek.

“I am out of time, Winterly.” Butterflies swarmed in her belly, barely a breath whistling past her lips. He had never been so bold with her before, but oh my, as the afternoon sunshine caught on the longer ends of his chestnut brown hair and lit them a golden hue, he completely captivated her.

“Rosamonde, my sweet Rosamonde.” He rubbed his cheek against her cheek, his eyes closing. “You’re suddenly evoking new feelings within me which are rather unusual.”

“Unusual in what way?”

“You’re my best friend’s little sister.” He opened his eyes, his sooty lashes framing his indecently beautiful eyes.

“That doesn’t explain your unusual feelings.”

“Maybe my actions will.” He pressed a kiss to each of her cheeks, then drew her swiftly to her feet and holding her hand, tugged her through the copse of trees. They crunched leaves and twigs beneath their feet then abruptly he pinned her against the wide trunk of a tree quite some distance from the others, his head dipping toward hers. “I need to kiss you.”

“You do?”

“Yes.” Without hesitation, he covered her mouth with his, and in what was certainly a defining moment, Winterly kissed her, slowly and surely.

Her heart almost catapulted from her chest and her legs certainly wobbled. She speared her fingers deep into his hair and returned his kiss with all the longing she’d always held within her heart for him. This was the man who had rescued her from a band of brigands and who had saved her and her kitten from high within the branches of a tree. As he deepened their kiss, she couldn’t halt the sensuous tremor which skittered delightfully down her spine, an intriguing sensation she’d never experienced when kissing a man before. It caused a flutter to take flight low in her belly, one which pulsed through with a vivid heat that curled her toes. Nothing had ever felt so wondrously perfect, and when he slipped his tongue between her lips, even more heat flared through her, making her moan with need. Oh goodness. This was all too much, all too soon. She couldn’t allow him to send her remaining good senses from her mind. She was set to wed another man, and unfortunately, not this one.
