1–What is the title of your latest release? THE HEIRESS SWAP   2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book?  The Holiday meets The Prince and the Pauper with a Victorian twist in this laugh-out-loud and sexy first in a new series from award- winning author Maddison Michaels. Evie Jenkins didn’t know what she was thinking by agreeing to switch places with her American heiress cousin. After all, she’s naught but a poor―and usually quite sensible ―companion. All she has to do is spend six weeks among London society, pretending to be an heiress…and ensure that absolutely under no circumstances does she accept any proposals of marriage. Easy right? Wrong!. Especially when Alexander Trenton, the Duke of Hargraves is convinced she’s a title hunting Dollar Princess and is determined to expose her…   3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place?  I write Victorian era romances and as I wanted to write about a wealthy American Dollar Princess who trades places with her poor cousin it had to be sometime between the late 1860 up to the earl 1900s when the Dollar Princesses invaded British Society! So I chose to set my book in London amongst…

1–What is the title of your latest release? THE BACHELOR BETRAYAL   2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book?  Gazette insiders tell us there was an unchaperoned encounter between a certain deliciously mysterious earl and a flame-haired lady who’s rumored to keep daggers hidden within her skirts. Things are about to get dangerously scandalous in Maddison Michaels’ next Secret, Scandal and Spies release.   3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place?  I love setting my books in the mid to late Victorian era – there was so much innovation and inventions happening during this period of history, that it really gives so much more depth to a story line! Plus I loved the ballgowns of the period, lol!   4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life?  Absolutely!! I want her to teach me some of her fighting skills!! She’s a no nonsense, kick ass female!!   5–What are three words that describe your hero? Honorable, masculine, and a protector.   6–What’s something you learned while writing this book?  I learned all about the history of the War Office – which was fascinating! I also learned that one could purchase rubber sheaths…

Exclusive chapter excerpt from THE BACHELOR BARGAIN by Maddison Michaels, for Fresh Fiction. Being hauled over the back of Sebastian’s shoulder like a sack of coal, with her derrière resting high near his head, was not how she imagined the evening ending. In fact, some would think it rather mortifying, even though Livie found it a tad thrilling. She’d never been carried by any man before, well, at least not since she’d been a child. Though it was slightly uncomfortable being jostled on his shoulder while he stalked down the street, presumably to where her carriage was waiting. Hearing some horses in the distance, Livie knew her assumption was correct. Just as quickly as he’d scooped her up, he swung her down, careful to keep one hand of his on her waist as she steadied herself while he placed her cane in her other hand. Her breath caught in her throat from the touch of his hand against her own; even through her gloves she could feel the heat radiating from his skin. His hand was so large and work-worn, so very different from the manicured and soft hands of the gentlemen she knew. It was a hand capable of…

Ok so we’ve all binged watched BRIDGERTON on Netflix, which was a wonderful adaption of Julia Quinn’s novel The Duke and I, and now everyone is clamouring for more duke yumminess in the form of other historical romance novels… so here is a list of my all-time top 5 ones!! Number 1: The Bride by Julie Garwood This one is seriously such a classic in historical romance and one of my absolute all-time favs! It is funny, choc full of romantic tension, a fabulous storyline and wonderful characters you’ll adore (heads up you will fall in love with the hero Alec – and though he’s not a duke, he is a Laird and super yummy)… Basically, the story starts with an edict from the king, that the mighty Scottish laird Alec Kincaid must take an English bride. Alec’s choice is the heroine Jamie, who is the youngest daughter of Baron Jamison… and she’s a feisty, violet-eyed beauty (the best sort of heroine), who vows never to surrender to the highland barbarian. With such strong willed characters comes a clash of wills, and a wonderful story mixed with romance and intrigue, that will stay with you long after you read the…
