I love rereading childhood classics and I was reading C&CF one day and I thought to myself--ya know what? This is kind of a romance novel plot! The rich, eccentric magnate who requires an heir.

And that's how my first book was born. There's a scandalous duke who requires an heir, a strong heroine who has had a difficult life, and lots and lots of very steamy...drinking chocolate. What? What did you think I was going to say? :)(less)

You know I would so love to give Patrick his own book but my editor and I decided to start a whole new series and jump forward several years. Hopefully someday I can write a novella for Patrick and his son Van so that they can have their happily-ever-after! xo ❤️(less)

“Some contend that one ounce of cocoa contains as much nourishment as one pound of beef. man could subsist on chocolate alone if he had to.”
Lenora Bell, How the Duke Was Won

“Every time he looked at me I felt like I was standing in a tree-lined avenue, and the branches had interlaced into a canopy above me, surrounding me. It was the kind of green that told the sun what color to be as it filtered through the leaves.” “Oh,”
Lenora Bell, How the Duke Was Won

“I’m well aware of that. But now one of the buttons on my coat sleeve is caught as well.” “What if I—” “Don’t twist like that!” Now they were even more entangled. “What if you shed your coat?” she asked. Shed his coat. What a brilliant idea. And while he was at it, why didn’t he just strip off her gown as well? His shirt and trousers. Her chemise. Set this stage box a-rocking. Really give the guests a show they’d never forget.”
Lenora Bell, What a Difference a Duke Makes
