Lizzie & Dante, (written by Mary Bly, Eloisa’s other self) is on digital sale for $5.99, NOW through Aug. 12.

Book Reporter says the book is “…an insightful and hope-filled love story…the best book of summer 2021.”

Three bestselling authors. Two delightful novels. One terrific collection!

The Ladies Most…, an ebook collection of The Lady Most Likely and The Lady Most Willing, each a novel in three parts written with Julia Quinn and Connie Brockway, is NOW AVAILABLE for downloading.

A note from Eloisa: We wrote this novel on a visit to New Orleans, sitting around madly plotting and writing during the day, then eating fabulous food at night. I think these novels are even more fun to read than an average romance—because you have all the delight of our three voices, both separately and woven together. ~Eloisa
