Coming Soon from A.S. Fenichel
A Duke of Convenience
September 15, 2026
Their marriage begins as a bargain, but their passion is irresistible.
She needed protection.
He needed to repay a debt.
Neither expected to lose their heart.
After the deaths of her parents and the mysterious disappearance of her beloved brother, Effie Becket finds herself at the mercy of a ruthless cousin determined to force her into marriage—and steal everything she holds dear.
Alexander Lynds, the Duke of Devingham, owes his life to John Becket. When a desperate letter from his wartime friend begs him to protect John’s sister, Alex does the only honorable thing he can.
He marries her.
The marriage is meant to be temporary. Once he uncovers the truth behind John’s disappearance, he’ll set Effie free to choose the future she deserves.
But being so close to the spirited beauty proves far more dangerous than anything he faced on the battlefield or spying on the enemy.
Effie sees only the fiercely honorable man beneath the duke’s carefully guarded secrets. Alex sees an innocent woman who deserves far better than a soldier haunted by the horrors of war. Every stolen glance, every heated touch, every forbidden kiss makes walking away nearly impossible.
As the search for John uncovers dangers that could destroy everything, Alex must decide whether honoring his promise means letting Effie go…or risking everything to claim the only woman he’ll ever love.
A marriage of convenience, a haunted war hero, sizzling chemistry, and a villain who threatens to tear them apart make A Duke of Convenience a steamy Regency romance filled with passion, danger, and a well-earned happily ever after.

True love and false promises… Until the unthinkable happens, and Elinor’s engagement is suddenly terminated and no one, least of all her fiancé, will tell her why.
Sir Michael Rollins’s war-hero days seem far behind him when, after one last hurrah before his wedding, he gets shot and his injuries leave him in dire shape.

An unexpected promise . . . an everlasting passion.
An accomplished musician, Dorothea Flammel has refused more proposals than any London debutante; her only true love is her music.

But when her father, the insolvent Lord Flammel, arranges for Dory to marry a lecherous Earl in order to pay off a debt, she runs to Thomas—and proposes marriage to him.
Eloping to Scotland saves Dory from a disastrous fate, but what is for her a mere marriage of convenience proves more passionate—and more complex—than either imagined as rumors, scandal, and buried emotions come to light. And when a vengeful challenge from a drunken and embittered Lord Flammel puts Thomas’s life on the line, will the fragile trust between husband and wife be enough to save them both?

He needs to marry her friend, Aurora, so he can reclaim his family’s ancestral home. A wrong he has hoped to right his entire life.

Ann will have to push aside a lifetime of pent-up desire if she’s going to succeed in a man’s world. Can she ignore the earl’s allure and get the job done?
Witches of Windsor
Historical Fantasy Romance
MAGIC TOUCH
ESME
I never dreamed my small curatives shop in Windsor, England would attract the attention of war hero Sir William Meriwether. My feminine heart is aflutter when he enters. But I’m a witch and a healer, and he’s a man in pain, so I heal him. Desperate to do him a good service, I stretch my powers to the limit—or perhaps beyond. Somehow, in curing his ailing leg, I unleash powers inside William. At a loss to stop what’s begun, I’m forced to seek assistance from the coven I’ve sworn never to join. I dread the encounter, but for William’s sake, I put my family’s hatred aside. Getting to spend more time with William is an added enticement.
WILLIAM
I’m mesmerized by Esme O’Dwyer from the moment I lay eyes on her. Despite our different stations in society, I want something more personal than any restorative tea she might offer. As a gentleman, I contain those baser needs and accept her assistance to ease the pain in my leg. When the alluring witch’s touch bestows me with magic of my own, I want no part of it. But the coven’s leaders insist magic never makes mistakes, and for this to have happened, I must be needed. I’ve never been one to shy away from duty, and being secluded for training with Esme is magical in more ways than one.
ESME
Trouble is coming to Windsor. The signs are all there. The race is on to train William as a witch before his power is needed, but our growing attraction is as undeniable as the battle that lies ahead.
MAGIC WORD
MINERVA
Being a shield is my gift. While I prefer simple magics, and hide my more deadly skills, I can defend myself. Because of my imperviousness to dark magic, my coven sent me to determine the evil lurking in Kent. I’m to stay with a trusted nonmagical apothecary who has petitioned for entry to the Witches of Windsor. Jonah Allen lives close to the town of Maidstone, and I’ll be safe at his home. I expect to find a bookish man bent over his concoctions, but instead find a hulking bear of a man who stimulates more than my intellect…
JONAH
Though born to a powerful witch, I have no practical magic. Forced from my birth coven, I use my knowledge of medicines in nature as an apothecary, but living among ordinary people is a foreign, lonely existence. I’ve heard the Windsor coven is more open-minded about membership, and I have nothing to lose by requesting admission.
Windsor sends a powerful witch to investigate the evil lurking in Kent. One look at Minerva Honeywell shatters everything I thought I knew about witches. She’s kind and thoughtful, and I’m under her spell from the start. My future in her coven—and in her life—will have to wait. Together, we must first find the source of dark magic, and keep it far from Windsor and the King.
PURE MAGIC
SARA BETH
At nineteen, I replaced my mother as high priestess of the Windsor coven. I’m duty bound to protect my coven and the king, and for almost ten years, I have worked to transform the coven from the rigid system of Mother’s rule, to a warmer community of witches. News of men being admitted to the Windsor coven has spread, requiring me to consider more of their petitions. Legend says that male witches destroy and kill, often turning to dark magic. This was the reason for the ban. Will my removal of the old prejudice bring us all to ruin?
ADAM
I’ve traveled from Scotland after hearing the Windsor coven might accept a man living in the light of magic. All I want is family within a coven. My arrival is not received with enthusiasm, as the high priestess is as wary as she is beautiful. If not for the ancient great mother’s intervention, Sara Beth would have sent me away immediately. Instead, I’ll be tested for light and dark magic. It’s unpleasant, but I’d do almost anything to stay by Sara Beth’s side, and finally find a home.
All is going well until my brother Kaden and his cohorts attack. Kaden is made from evil, and brother or not, he hates me for my alignment with the light. There’s more than my coven acceptance or my attraction to Sara Beth at stake when I join with the Witches of Windsor to stop Kaden…

Lillian Dellacourt is beautiful, refined and absolutely lethal. She’s also the most feared and merciless demon hunter in The Company. She’s come a long way from the penniless seamstress’s daughter sold to the highest bidder, and it wasn’t by trusting a man, let alone an exiled Marquis with more on his mind than slaying the hellspawn . . .
For Dorian Lambert, Marquis de Montalembert, being sent to keep track of Lillian is no mean task. He’s wanted the fiery vixen since he first heard of her five years ago. But wooing the lady while fighting the demon uprising is no easy feat, especially when the lady’s tongue is as sharp as the Japanese sai blades she favors for eviscerating the spawn of hell.
These two will have to learn to trust each other fast, because the demon master is back, and he’s planning to turn Edinburgh into a living hell…
BETRAYAL
In service to His Majesty, one must be prepared for Hell.
