But the fantasy of rooms draped in striped silk and gowns that were so stunningly embroidered captured my imagination. And now, I’m very lucky because I get to live in that imagination. I can spend as many hours a day as I want in the great houses of England, strolling down Rotten Row, or showing off a horse in Hyde Park. Writing for me has become as magical as reading. Its so wonderful to live in Romance Land.All I Want For Christmas Is A Duke
by Delilah Marvelle and Maire Claremont

Amazon - only $.99! Two SCANDALOUS reads, one low price!
Merry Christmas, Mrs. Robinson by Delilah Marvelle
Lady Jane left her father, the Earl of Chadwick, and the ton behind to experience life on the stage. After a disastrous marriage, the widow is living on the edge of poverty, determined to guard her heart, when a secret admirer from her past demands a second chance.
Shy and retiring Martin Nicholas Pierce, the Sixth Duke of Somerset, has carried a torch for Lady Jane since her youth, but he is five years her junior. When she married another man, he left for Europe, determined to put her out of his mind. After returning to find Lady Jane free, he vows to replace the memories of her cursed Twelfth Night with a new beginning.
The Twelve Days of Seduction By Maire Claremont
Alexander Hunt, Eighth Duke of Berresford, is aware his ward’s governess isn’t quite what she seems. Although Miss Flint is beautiful and intelligent, she misrepresented herself to gain employment, and he threatens to give her the sack mere days before Christmas.
Desperate to convince the sexy duke not to tear her from the little girl she’s grown to adore, Adriana challenges him to seduce her before the Twelve Days of Christmas have come to an end, although she fears it may cost her heart. Alexander accepts the challenge, unconcerned that he has as much to lose, if not more, than the delectable Miss Flint.

I also fall in love with romance when I was a teenager, and historical romance is one of my favorites only because of the handsome lords hehe
