‘Seven Nights in a Rogue’s Bed is a lush, sensuous treat. I was enthralled from the first page to the last and still wanted more.’ —Laura Lee Guhrke, New York Times bestselling author
‘The fast pace and slightly gothic atmosphere make the pages fly. She keeps readers highly satisfied with the plot’s tenderness and touching emotions that reach the heart.’
—Kathe Robin, RT Book Reviews
‘Campbell matches up two proud, wary victims of abuse in this smart Regency romance … delightful insight and … luscious love scenes. Readers will cheer for these loveable and well-crafted characters.’
—Publishers Weekly
‘Truly, deeply romantic’
—Eloisa James, New York Times bestselling author on Captive of Sin
‘Regency noir—different and intriguing’
—Stephanie Laurens, New York Times bestselling author on Claiming the Courtesan
‘I’m not the woman for you.’
While today’s misgivings hinted that Pen might be right, his pride flinched under her rejection. ‘We know each other so well—’
She sighed. ‘Cam, you need a duchess with dignity and decorum. You must have forgotten all the times you dragged me from disaster.’
‘You’re still young. You can be trained,’ he said, before he recognised that such a comment would hardly forward his suit. Usually he said exactly the right thing, but this encounter rattled his sangfroid.
Her momentary softening congealed to frost. ‘I’m not a hound to come at your whistle.’
He sighed again. ‘You know that’s not what I want in a bride.’
‘Do I?’ she asked, arching her eyebrows. ‘You’ve devoted your life to rising above your parents’ disgrace, the scandals have guided your every action.’
He winced under the compassion in her gaze. ‘That makes me sound like a complete idiot.’
‘No, it doesn’t.’
‘You can help me. You’ll make a capital duchess.’
‘You’re mistaken.’ He’d never imagined that worldly smile on Pen’s face. His reluctant desire deepened. ‘I’m too independent to be anyone’s duchess, especially yours.’
THE SONS OF SIN by Anna Campbell
Seven Nights in a Rogue’s Bed A Rake’s Midnight Kiss What a Duke Dares
ANNA CAMPBELL was the sort of kid who spent her childhood with her nose buried between the pages of a book. She decided when she was a child that she wanted to be a writer. When she’s not writing passionate, intense stories featuring gorgeous Regency heroes and the women who are their destiny, Anna loves to travel, especially in the United Kingdom, and listen to all kinds of music. She has settled near the sea on the east coast of Australia, where she’s losing her battle with an overgrown subtropical garden.
The first book in THE SONS OF SIN series, Seven Nights in a Rogue’s Bed, has generated some wonderful reviews and a number of awards, including favourite historical romance from the Australian Romance Readers Association. Anna was also voted favourite Australian romance author at the ARRA Awards.
Anna loves to hear from her readers. You can contact her through her website at www.annacampbell.info.
