Yes! Sir Griffin Barry first appears in The Ugly Duchess as a rascally pirate; we learn a bit about his broken marriage. He then stars in Seduced by a Pirate. This novella takes place after The Ugly Duchess, when he returns to England and his wife. Lastly, the novella With this Kiss is the story of Griffin’s oldest (adopted) son, who falls in love with the daughter of the hero of The Ugly Duchess. Seduced by a Pirate and With this Kiss are novellas that can be bought separately as e-novellas. Or they can be bought together, in print, under the title As You Wish.

Is the Companion only in eBook? Will there be a print version eventually?
As of right now, the Essex Sisters Companion Guide is only available in ebook and there are no plans to produce it in print format. Never say never, of course, but we wouldn’t advise waiting for print.

Why should I order the Companion?
There is so much to the Essex Sisters Companion Guide—so much about fashion of the times and attending the theater and other wonderful information (including beautiful images!) about the setting and the time period of the Essex Sisters series, but also:
- Eloisa’s 100-page essay about the series
- Extra Chapters!
- A new novella!
- A 140-page, wildly dramatic, alternate ending to Kiss Me, Annabel.
This is a volume not to be missed!
