Author: Rose Lerner

***Includes a brand-new short story***

My new book bundle Mad Naked Summer Nights has everything: light, sexy novellas you can devour in an afternoon by the pool; a slow-burn marriage of convenience to linger over on lazy porch-swing evenings; and a smoldering Gothic novel you definitely shouldn’t read before bed! The heat levels range from slow burn to red hot, but what they all have in common is summertime, when a single spark can start an unquenchable blaze…

This is a LIMITED TIME bundle, so get it while it’s hot!

Included books: All or Nothing

In this steamy fan-favorite novella with a polyamorous HEA, a shy architect wins an irrepressible gaming den hostess in a card game—then asks her to pose as his mistress so he can hide in his room and actually get work done during his ex-boyfriend’s scandalous house party.

Now with a brand-new epilogue, currently only available in this collection!

“I adored this book. Funny, fresh, and everything I want in a historical romance.”

—Cat Sebastian, author of The Queer Principles of Kit Webb

The book is currently available for pre-order from Kindle and Kobo. My goal is to have it at all the major retailers by 9/16, and available everywhere as soon as possible after that (including for library purchase through OverDrive). The paperback will also be ready as close to release as possible.

I wish I could be more specific, but retailer processing times are outside my control. I’ll keep you updated, and I very much appreciate your patience!

Since “Sailor’s Delight” is a standalone novella, it’s a great, low-cost way for new readers to give my work a try! If you have a friend you think might like my books, please consider letting them know about this one.

(It would also make a lovely Rosh Hashanah gift! IJS.)

That’s all for now! I’m so excited for this book to be in the world.

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve got a new book out: a queer Gothic Audible Original!

In some ways, this book is a huge departure from what I’ve done before, and in some ways, it really isn’t. (For one thing, it’s set in the world of Lively St. Lemeston!)

I absolutely love how the audiobook turned out—Elsa Lepecki Bean gives a tour-de-force performance that had me on the edge of my seat despite already knowing what happens, and the incidental music is just the right amount spooky and just the right amount lyrical.

Goldengrove’s towers and twisted chimneys rose at the very edge of the peaceful Weald, a stone’s throw from the poisonous marshes and merciless waters of Rye Bay. Young Mary Palethorp had been running wild there, ever since her mother grew too ill to leave her room.

I was the perfect choice to give Mary a good English education: thoroughly respectable and far too plain to tempt her lonely father, Sir Kit, to indiscretion.

I knew better than to trust my new employer with the truth about my past. But knowing better couldn’t stop me from yearning for impossible things: to be Mary’s mother, Sir Kit’s companion, Goldengrove’s mistress.

All that belonged to poor Lady Palethorp. Most of all, I burned to finally catch a glimpse of her.

Surely she could tell me who cut the strings on my guitar, why all the doors in the house were locked after dark, and whose footsteps I heard in the night…
