Reissued and edited with new scenes!

Espionage, secrecy, and thwarted assassination attempts. The only thing more dangerous is being in love…

Gillian Chauncey, Baroness Chauncey, is a master of disguise, trained by her expatriated husband, a former French royalist, in the arts of espionage. When a dangerous life or death secret lands in her lap, she’s thrust into a perilous world of ticking clocks and desperation, arrowing her directly into the arms of the man who arranged her marriage.

Lord Simon Danbury is no ordinary nobleman. He’s been tasked by Admiral Nelson to organize an elite group of clandestine first sons willing to sacrifice all to protect England’s shores. When an assassination attempt is made on Nelson, Simon isn’t sure what poses more danger, the enemy or the masterfully seductive Gillian.

From the Author!

Ahoy, me hearties! I got the rights back to my Nelson’s Tea Series in 2017 and have been busy revisiting the characters and writing new scenes just for you. Do you believe in second chances? I sure do! And a second chance is exactly what Simon and Gillian need in My Lord Rogue. If you like Regency stories filled with romance, lords and ladies, intrigue, betrayal, deception, marriages of convenience, action/adventure, spies, espionage, seafaring battles, swashbuckling heroes, and dukes and pirates, find out what happens when two former lovers, now spies, meet up again in 1801. The danger is very real!

What is Nelson’s Tea?

In 1801, Admiral Horatio Nelson returned to England to recover from another bout of malaria. While recuperating from his illness, he was tasked by the Admiralty to organize a way to protect England’s shores from Napoleon. My Lord Rogue is a fast-paced introductory novella to this thrilling series sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. Read how Lord Simon Danbury organizes the clandestine group, code-named Nelson’s Tea.

Why Nelson’s Tea?

Admiral Nelson was never without his tea, even during battle. In this fictional series, Nelson could ask for his tea, but mean his mercenary group, first sons from all walks of life, men beyond suspicion, men Nelson could call to action at a moment’s notice. Determined, disciplined, and dedicated men who’d serve the crown with duty and honor, men willing to die to protect England and the ones they love.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Gillian Corbett,  Baroness Chauncey is a very unusual woman.  She and her husband have been working as spies for the English Crown.  When disaster strikes she must head to London to save the life of a great man. 
Lord Simon Danbury is one of Admiral Nelson's most trusted spies.  He has worked his way up, and given up a lot to help England stay safe in the dangerous times they live in. 
This is an exciting story full of danger and intrigue.  Our characters are in a very difficult situation that could bring them heartache again. 
This is the start of what I'm sure will be a great series.

I'm addicted to history and romance! Raised an Army brat, I was swept off my feet by a military officer, married him, and then traveled the world. After raising four children and putting down roots in the south, the muse came calling with abandon. Adventure. Mayhem. Swashbuckling heroes. My books offer an escape you will always remember. It's never too late to turn pirate. ;)

GOODREADS

Wolfgang, one of Lord Wellington's craftiest spies, is a fighter, an indulgent loner who is cunning and bold enough to go where others do not dare. He hates distractions and complications, especially those involving the fairer sex, and his instincts have always fueled him and kept him on course, mission after mission. That is, until his talents steer him toward a destiny he didn’t know he had and a search for the brother he barely remembers. And when he comes into contact with a brave young woman disguised as a boy, the urge he feels to protect her might just lead him on the biggest adventure of all. 

Selina’s wedding day did not go as planned. Instead, she was kidnapped by pirates and ransomed for an exorbitant sum. Her diabolical captors didn’t hold up their end of the bargain, however, and kept her imprisoned even after their demands were met. More clever than her kidnappers expected, she managed to escape and disguised herself as a boy. Forced to lie, cheat, and steal in order to stay alive, she loses hope of ever returning to the man she intended to marry. Desperate, she agrees to become a handsome and compassionate sea captain’s cabin boy to gain passage back to Cornwall, but the captain endangers the one thing she cannot afford to lose—her heart. 

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Wolfgang is the captain of the Sea Wolf and one of a team that spy and fight for England.  He has only a very limited memory of his childhood and is desperately searching for his brother. 
Selina Herding was on her way to her wedding,  when she and her brother were kidnapped. Now she is chained up in a tavern that caters to the worst pirates there are. 
Both of our lead characters are incredibly strong and brave.  They have a lot of danger and heartache to face.  The fight scenes are really fierce. There is romance but no sex,  it's not needed for the story.  It doesn't end the way you think it will.  I can't wait for the next book in the series. The adventure has a lot further to go,  although the book has a definite ending.
I loved every page.  A real adventure.

GOODREADS

Innkeeper Oriana Thorpe is a smuggler’s daughter who has been hardened by a legacy she cannot escape. She has risked everything, including her safety, in her attempts to break free, going so far as to challenge her evil pirate brother, Charles, in order to save a lady and her maid from his wrath. Determined to atone for his villainy, Oriana distributes the blood money he left behind to widows and orphans living nearby. But when threatening letters promising retribution begin to arrive from Charles, she suspects one or more of her customers may be her despicable brother’s spies. Yet one haunted man promises to protect her, and she finds herself taking the greatest risk of all—falling in love. 

Captain Pierce Walsingham should have died when his ship was destroyed by the notorious smuggler Captain Carnage. Instead, Pierce was pulled from the water by the Robin Hood of Cornwall, a pirate known only as the Black Regent. In gratitude, Pierce accepts the Regent’s offer to take over the man’s role, allowing his name to be added to the list of the dead and vowing to protect the beautiful innkeeper who saved his sister Chloe’s life. Unfortunately, Oriana is also Carnage’s next of kin, and the smuggler has sworn vengeance against her and Chloe. 

While there is no cause dearer to Pierce’s heart than stopping Carnage, the task won’t be easy. Strategic allegiances have replenished his enemy’s power at sea, and he’s moving ever closer to enacting his revenge. Now Pierce must find a way to defeat Carnage, all while fighting his desire for the resilient woman who fiercely defends her roost. 

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Oriana Thorpe is an Inn keeper on the Cornwall coast.  Her family have been wreckers and smugglers, but she is determined to help people instead.  Her brother is a murderer and a pirate.  He is likely to come after her because she betrayed him. 
Captain Pierce Walsingham is a "revenue man" who living under an assumed name until he can catch the man who sunk his ship, killing many of his men.  There is one place he should be able to find him if he can tempt him to go there. 
Our heroine is trying her best to look after the nearby widows and orphans with the help of a Lady whose life she saved.  She is always looking over her shoulder knowing her brother will kill her eventually. 
Our hero has many reasons to be distrustful of the known smugglers on the coast. 
An intriguing and swashbuckling story.  You will fall in love with the characters, especially the heroine.  Lots of fun and a lovely romance.  It is part of a series but easily read as a stand alone. 
I loved it.
