BRIGHTON HONEYMOON
(Weaver #2)
“Attention to period detail, a lively, witty style, and wonderfully atypical characters combine in a sparkling story vaguely reminiscent of Georgette Heyer.” —Library Journal
SIR AUBREY TABOR BEGAN with the most altruistic of motives. When the Brundys’ seaside wedding trip is interrupted by a young woman claiming to be Ethan Brundy’s sister, Sir Aubrey promises to do what he can in order to relieve his friend of an imposter whose presence poses a threat to marital bliss.
But Polly proves to be more than a match for Sir Aubrey, and with each encounter, he finds himself thinking less of his friend’s honeymoon and more about having one of his own...
FRENCH LEAVE
(Weaver #3)
“Action-filled and classically witty, this delightful story takes traditional Regency fare...adds some refreshingly unexpected twists and elegantly serves it up with charm and flair.” —Library Journal
FORCED BY BANKRUPTCY and scandal into exile in France, Lord Waverly expects never to return to his homeland until, staggering home from a gaming hell, he encounters a young novice escaping from a convent. When she asks him to escort her to England, promising him that her English grandfather will reward him handsomely for her safe conveyance, Waverly reluctantly agrees.
Alas, he soon realizes the enormity of his task. When he delivers the irrepressible Lisette to her grandfather’s home only to discover that the old man is dead, Waverly is left with no alternative but to offer her the protection of his name. And when he is unexpectedly reunited with Lady Helen Brundy, whose marriage precipitated his flight to France, Waverly begins to discover that his marriage of convenience is likely to prove very inconvenient indeed...
THE DESPERATE DUKE
(Weaver #4)
“This delightful addition to the Weaver series is excellently written, well-plotted, and the characters are fully relatable.” —Flippin’ Pages
WHEN 23-YEAR-OLD THEO becomes the Duke of Reddington after his father dies, the weight of his new responsibilities is enough to send him into a panic. He soon accumulates a pile of debts—and discovers he can’t touch his inheritance until his father’s will is probated. His brother-in-law, mill owner Ethan Brundy, lends him the money, with one caveat: Theo will repay the loan by working in the mill.
Daphne Drinkard and her mother have fallen on hard times, and are now reduced to taking in boarders. When a Parliamentary candidate hires the dining room for a series of political meetings, Daphne knows he might be her last chance for an advantageous marriage. Still, she’s far more intrigued by their newest boarder. Mr. Tisdale is obviously a gentleman—but why would a gentleman be working in a cotton mill?
The Stand-Alone Regency Romances
BARONESS IN BUCKSKIN
RICHARD, LORD RAMSAY, has been brought up from the cradle with a consciousness of his duty to his family and his name. His sense of responsibility has led him to install two elderly aunts in the Dower House; educate his cousin Peter Ramsay and employ him as a steward; and provide a home for poor relation Jane Hawthorne, who once served as his mother’s companion.
When a letter arrives from America informing him that the death of a distant relative has left eighteen-year-old Susannah Ramsay not only an orphan, but heiress to a Kentucky plantation as well, Lord Ramsay considers making an offer of marriage to his American cousin to be a practical solution: besides providing for the young woman, such a match would give the Ramsays extensive holdings on two continents.
Then Susannah arrives from America, and Richard suddenly finds his well-ordered life set end over end. With her wild red hair, unfashionable clothes, and frontier ways, Susannah appears to be an unlikely Lady Ramsay. Appalled at the prospect of marriage to the girl, yet determined to fulfill his obligation, Richard turns her over to Jane and Peter for instruction in the ways of British society. But her transformation into a lady is the least of the surprises Susannah has in store for her strait-laced British relations...
MISS DARBY’S DUENNA
“An appealing heroine, a worthy hero who matures nicely, several exceptionally well-done supporting characters, and a sprinkling of abductions and mistaken identities together with a dash of blackmail add to the charm of this exceptionally well-written Regency. This has all the hallmarks of a winner and is sure to please the most discerning fans.”—Library Journal
SIR HARRY HAWTHORNE thought he was making a marriage of convenience to a childhood friend—until his fiancée captures the fancy of the dashing and dangerous Lord Mannerly. Suddenly Sir Harry’s jealousy is roused to the point that he assumes the identity of his reclusive grandmother in order to keep the all-too-grown-up Miss Olivia Darby under his watchful eye.
But the course of true love never did run smooth, and among the obstacles Sir Harry must face are a love-struck younger sister, an elderly widower with an amorous interest in the faux “Lady Hawthorne,” and a rival more ruthless than Sir Harry ever imagined...
OF PAUPERS AND PEERS
“Light, witty, and just plain fun, this traditional Regency is a rare new addition to the current market; fans will be delighted.” —Library Journal
OVERWORKED AND UNDERPAID curate James Weatherly is resigned to a life of genteel poverty, never suspecting he is heir to a dukedom until a solicitor appears on his doorstep. Alas, on the way to claim his inheritance, James is set upon by footpads whose handiwork deprives him of his memory.
Margaret Darrington is no stranger to genteel poverty herself, since the death of her father has left her in charge of her two younger siblings and feather-brained aunt. But the decisive Margaret has a plan: to salvage the family fortunes, she has only to put her beautiful younger sister, Amanda, in the way of marrying a wealthy man—perhaps the new Duke of Montford, who is expected to arrive any day.
When Margaret finds a beaten and bloodied young man on the road, his shabby attire and collection of second-hand books lead her to mistake him for the tutor she has hired for her younger brother. Still reeling from the attack upon his person, James is relieved to have the mystery of his identity so easily “solved,” and accompanies her home.
As James’s bruises fade, Margaret discovers that he is, if not classically handsome, undeniably pleasing to look upon, with an appealingly self-deprecating wit. Suddenly Amanda’s brilliant marriage is in jeopardy, for how can any impressionable young female resist such a paragon? But nothing about the penniless pedagogue is quite as it seems, and Margaret would do well to forget about her sister, and look to her own heart instead...
About the Author
At the age of sixteen, Sheri Cobb South discovered Georgette Heyer, and came to the startling realization that she had been born into the wrong century. Although she probably would have been a chambermaid had she actually lived in Regency England, that didn’t stop her from fantasizing about waltzing the night away in the arms of a handsome, wealthy, and titled gentleman.
Since Georgette Heyer died in 1974 and could not write any more Regencies, Ms. South came to the conclusion she would have to do it herself. In addition to the bestselling John Pickett mystery series (now an award-winning audiobook series!), she has also written several Regency romances, including the critically acclaimed The Weaver Takes a Wife.
A native and long-time resident of Alabama, Ms. South now lives in Loveland, Colorado.
