I’ve been lax in mentioning my latest story, Lord Hadleigh’s Last Chance. I wrote it for the Romancing the Rake anthology, a new release from The New Romance Cafe, with proceeds going towards a breast cancer research charity.
Each of the 25 stories included tell the story of a rake (or rakess!) who is transformed by love.
“In this historical romance, experience the passion, heartbreak, and ultimate redemption of notorious rakes who dare to risk it all for the women who change their lives forever. From glittering ballrooms to moonlit gardens, each story is a tantalizing journey of love, second chances, and the power of forgiveness.”
Weighing in at 945 pages(!), this anthology will you introduce you to so many great authors!
Here’s a peek at my story:
Matthew Berringer, Earl of Hadleigh, fought against the encroaching brightness, wanting more than anything to slide back into oblivion. The pain bisecting his face kept him from the sweet bliss of sleep, and as his awareness increased, he couldn’t ignore the punches of pain in his torso.
He lifted a heavy hand to rub his chest, surprised when he felt a nightshirt, then the thick bandage beneath. With effort, he brought his hand to his face and felt matching bandaging there, covering one cheek. His fingers traced over stitches above it that ran up the bridge of his nose and between his eyes.
What the hell had happened to him?
His mind whirled with muddy images. Bits and pieces began to come back to him—flashes of searing agony and mocking words, falling to the ground, feeling life draining from his body. A booted foot pressed into his back and a harsh cockney voice. “The marquess sends his regards.”
With a vicious laugh and a kick in his side, he was left in a dirty alley, in agony and praying for death’s embrace.
