Another tempting Tessa Dare treat! A Lady of Persuasion releases today!

Yippee! Any Wicked Thing is predominantly finished. What does that mean, you say? It means that when I first started to write the book in May, I began each chapter with brief diary entries written by Sebastian Goddard, the Duke of Roxbury and Frederica Wells. Somewhere in the middle of the book, those diary entries disappeared. My dilemma now: do I add the missing ones, or delete the written ones? Time (and my crit partners) will tell. I’m going to step away for a short while and then revisit that remote Yorkshire castle to make sure all the loose ends are securely tied up. Then it will be back to my storm-tossed Scottish island and Master of Sin!

Thanks so much, Anna, for taking the time to read MBM. I can’t wait for November’s Captive of Sin, which I am quite sure will sizzle too!

Over 85,000 words now on Any Wicked Thing. I have two more chapters to write from scratch and three scenes to finish. The ending is tied up with a big, wet sloppy bow already—I got a little weepy writing it, because I love love love Sebastian and Freddie (mostly Sebastian, LOL).

And here’s another one of my LOLRegencies.

Elizabeth vs Darcy: She certainly did not hate him. No; hatred had vanished long ago, and she had almost as long been ashamed of ever wishing to drink the blood of his severed head.

True love, yes?

Over 80,000 words on Any Wicked Thing! But I’m not drinking blood from severed heads to celebrate yet.
