A new book is on the way!
I'm thrilled (and somewhat terrified!) to announce I have a new book coming out on 30th July. It's called The Duke's Discovery, and it's a swoony, hilarious Regency romp with a clever, teasing duke and a word-nerd governess, trapped on a boat together bound for Portugal. Oh, and he might be a spy. And she's dressed as a man. It all makes sense, I promise.
It should be there in my Goodreads profile, so go check it out, and if it sounds like your cup of very British tea, add it to your TBR shelf!

ETE for 99p!
Just a quick note to let you know that Amazon have chosen Engaging the Enemy for a Kindle Monthly Deal - it will be 99p during June on the UK Kindle store. So if you haven't got a copy, now is the perfect time to grab one!
Engaging the Enemy
And a little writing update: the first draft of the next book is complete! I'll spend the next few months rewriting and editing, and I'm hoping it'll be ready for publication this autumn. If you like the idea of a tall, dark, sardonic, and rather bossy man being absolutely tormented by the last woman on earth he ought to care for, then this book should be right up your street :)

My new book Pride and Privilege is out today!
It's finally here! Pride and Privilege is out today!
Pride and Privilege: a hilarious, hot, and heartwarming office romcom
I'm so excited that you'll all get to meet Poppy and Roscoe properly and read their story. I've had some amazing responses from ARC readers, and despite my internet dying yesterday and throwing a slight spanner in my book launch plans, I'm super happy this book is now out in the world!
Poppy and Roscoe are both characters I put a lot of heart into - their anxieties and insecurities, and the strength they have in overcoming them. I wanted to write a story about love being a source of strength and kindness. A way of opening our eyes and making us see the world in new ways. And of course I wanted it to be super hot and very funny, too. Have I managed all that?! Let me know what you think!
Mostly, I just hope you enjoy it!
Take care,
Rachel x

New book coming soon!
Guys, there's an actual book page now for Pride and Privilege, my latest book. It's out in April! Add it to your To Read shelf!
Pride and Privilege: a hilarious, hot, and heartwarming office romcom
What's it about...? Well... Terrible first impressions? Steamy lift-based shenanigans? Fried chicken? SO MUCH TENSION. And slowly falling madly, deeply in love...
Here's the blurby bit:
When you’re stuck sharing a flat with a man known as Lecherous Dave to save money, you’ll do anything for a leg up at work—even if rumours say that requires cosying up to the boss’s son. Fortunately for admin assistant Poppy, he’s gorgeous. Unfortunately, she’s just drunkenly laughed in his face and accused him of tax avoidance. And she’s about to make it worse…
Roscoe Blackton has sacrificed sleep and sanity to land a senior role at London’s biggest wealth management firm. The fact his dad owns the whole company has nothing to do with it—or so he tells himself. But he can’t escape the whispers of nepotism, and his new assistant makes it horrifyingly clear everyone believes climbing *him* is the best way to climb the corporate ladder.
Desperate to prove he’s more than his background, Roscoe realises Poppy might have the answer—if they can ever recover from their disastrous first impressions. She could teach him how to live without privilege, while he can give her a true taste of luxury. But as their social experiment causes their personal lives to become hopelessly entangled, keeping things professional gets complicated.
He’s her boss. She’s his assistant. But they’re both adults. They know what they’re doing. And they’re definitely, absolutely, obviously not going to fall for each other…right?
