Her Grace in Disgrace: a Traditional Regency Romance in Kindle and paperback formats.

Reginald Aiken, Duke of Warwick is dead and his young widow is not grieving…until the will is read.

Isobel Kennilworth Aiken, Duchess of Warwick spent 6 years of her young life in a loveless marriage. Now, at the age of 24, Isobel is a widow. As Isobel awaits the reading of her late husband’s last will and testament, she feels no grief, but in fact is quite hopeful. She is eager to start her life anew. But, as the droning of the solicitor’s voice washes over her detailing the bequests to various servants and family members, a shock awaits her. The “other woman” was not his mistress, but his lawfully wedded wife and together they had a son. Six year old Reggie is now the Duke of Warwick, displacing Reginald’s brother Charles.

There is a collective gasp as the revelation is made that instantly cuts off Isobel and Charles and dashes their hopes for the future. Isobel must indeed start again, not as a titled, influential and wealthy widow, but as plain Miss Kennilworth, tainted by scandal, something to be avoided at all costs in Regency England. Can she get past the disgrace and humiliation she has endured and fight her way back into society? Will she find love again with her childhood sweetheart, Andrew Stafford, former vicar, now Lord Saybrooke? Or perhaps she will rekindle the romance with Jeremy Ingles, Lord Westcott, who had caught her fancy at her come out six years earlier, but had not been ready to be leg shackled.

But before Isobel can find true love, she must come to grips with her past mistakes and the people she has hurt along the way. She must discover who she is without the title of duchess to her name.

“This book definitely hooks you right from the start!….The characters are very well developed and I felt a connection to them almost immediately, which is not normal for me. I am a *series girl* because it usually takes me until almost the end of the first book to connect with the story. Overall it was a very enjoyable read, and I am not even necessarily a fan of the genre. Highly recommend!” Indie Author Anonymous

“Ms Harbaugh has woven together a great cast of lovable yet fallible characters whose interactions are engrossing and fun to read. Great pacing, plot twists, dialogue, and attention to detail. Definitely recommended, will look forward to future installments!” 5 Star Amazon Review

Okay, I admit it. I am an anglophile. And while I’m in the confessing mood, I’ll also admit that I devour Regency Romance novels. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a no-nonsense, independent type with a barely discernible feminine side. But I am a sucker for the understated romance, the English stiff upper lip and the snappy dialogue ala Jane Austen. No overt sex, no bodice ripping, just a good story with great dialogue with an undercurrent of passion. If there is a duke or duchess or even a commoner, a strong female heroine, an equally strong, but not overbearing male hero and the chance of some romantic entanglements, I’m all for it. I like it so much; I decided to write a traditional regency romance novel myself…and enjoyed every minute of it. Hope you enjoy it, too!
