I write the books that I want to read. Fun, sexy, sizzle. I insist my heroines and heroes better themselves before finding happiness together. Like life, my romances can bring you to tears, make you laugh out loud and then experience all of the feels of a good first kiss… and more.
Mrs. Ambrosia Bloomington is finally free. Widowed and ready for a fresh start, she’s set her sights on Mayfair—determined to live life on her own terms, without the shadow of her late husband.
She doesn’t expect the maddeningly confident—and disarmingly charming—Frenchman Mr. Bateman to derail her journey and turn it into an unexpected adventure. Nor does she anticipate his laughter, his warmth… or the sparks that fly between them.
But Mr. Bateman carries secrets of his own—and Ambrosia won’t realize just how big they are until it may be too late.

The Duke that I Lost
(Book 1, Scoundrels with Secrets)

A shorter version of this story was first published as Cocky Duke in 2020, as part of the Cocky Hero Shared World. The The Duke that I Lost , however, includes enhanced material and significant changes, and is Book One in Annabelle Anders’ newest Regency series, Scoundrels with Secrets—about six troubled men, bound by one tragic mistake... and the women who just might redeem them.
