A spy with nothing to lose. A lady longing for excitement. A passion neither can resist.

Oliver Black clawed his way out of the gutters of London, only to be thrust in the shadows once more—this time as a covert agent for the Crown. Wounded during a mission gone bad, he finds himself with nowhere to turn but the doorstep—well, balcony—of the one woman he knows he’ll never be able to forget.

Emily Tailor, the fiercely curious daughter of a notorious Covent Garden madam, has lived the sheltered life of a princess in a tower. But when Oliver crashes into her world, bloodied and desperate, she seizes the chance to have the adventure she’s always craved. Posing as his lover, she joins him on a dangerous journey to a hedonistic house party where nothing is as it seems.

With secrets swirling and seduction in the air, every glance ignites forbidden longing. As Emily and Oliver navigate a treacherous game of deception, the line between performance and reality blurs.

Danger waits in the shadows—but so does desire…

About Kelsey

Author, wife, mother, animal-lover, and owner of an obscene amount of books. Kelsey is an Illinois native but spent some time in North Carolina while in college. She fostered her love of reading and writing after a heart condition sidelined her childhood. Her passions continued to develop long after surgery restored her health. To this day it's difficult to find her without a book in her hand. She dove headfirst into the romance genre (perhaps) a bit earlier than the recommended minimum age and became rather adept at disguising her reading material. Once exposed to the glittering world of historical romance, she was forever changed. Her love of writing and all things British translated into her future collegiate studies in both English (with an emphasis on Brit Lit) and History (mainly British and European). She would go on to earn Bachelor's Degrees in both English and History, as well as a Master's Degree in English. She finished penning her first novel fresh out of high school and has never looked back. After a few more years, she was inspired to write The Baron's Folly -- her first publication. When she's not writing or reading, Kelsey is usually watching reruns of her favorite shows ("Schitt's Creek", "The Office", "The Middle", "The Good Place", "Parks and Rec", "New Girl", etc.), or streaming just about any true crime show on Netflix; obsessively collecting architectural designs, crafts, and recipes on Pinterest; or sketching, crocheting, cooking, and spending time with her family. She is a diehard supporter of the Oxford Comma (in case you couldn't tell) and is glued to the TV whenever le Tour de France is on.

Barnes & Noble Signing

I was so thrilled to have a signing at the Naperville, IL Barnes & Noble location to celebrate the release of Courting the Duchess. It was amazing to meet new readers, chat with my fellow lovers of books, and share my passion. (It was also nice to spend time indoors after the hellish heat of the outdoor event I attended the mont prior!) I loved discussing my books (and may have even converted a few customers into lovers of historical romance)!
