Teagan Ainsley
Teagan Ainsley writes steamy Regency romance: candlelit ballrooms, very good manners, and people using both to hide exactly what they're up to. Her heroines keep secrets that could ruin them. Her heroes are usually the last man in London who should find out.
She likes her history accurate, down to the date of the vote in the Lords, and her romance anything but proper. Nobody in her books says what they mean at the dinner table. They save that for the library, with the door shut.
She believes a fan is a weapon, a gossip sheet is a declaration of war, and there is no such thing as an innocent waltz.

He leaves with Wollstonecraft and no intention of staying away. Tabitha knows exactly what he is. A duke in her shop is a danger to her secret, her father and the printer who risks everything to print her words. Reggie is beginning to suspect exactly who she is. The closer he gets, the less he wants to find her. And the more he has to lose if he does. A witty, steamy Regency romance with a secret identity, a duke who falls first and a bookseller's daughter who argues back. Book 1 of Behind the Fan. A complete story with a happy ending.
