Publisher Comments

Bold, brazen, and beautiful, the Reckless Brides refuse to play by societys rules of courtship. But—come hell or high water—they  always get their man…

A LADY IN DISGUISE

For generations, the Kents have served proudly with the British Royal Navy. So when her younger brother refuses to report for duty, Sally Kent slips into a uniform and takes his place—at least until he comes to his senses. Boldly climbing aboard the Audacious, Sally is as able-bodied as any sailor there. But one man is making her feel tantalizingly aware of the full-bodied woman beneath her navy blues…

A MAN OVERBOARD

Dedicated to his ship, sworn to his duty—and distractingly gorgeous—Lieutenant David Colyear sees through Sallys charade, and hes furious. But he must admit shes the best midshipman on board—and a woman who tempts him like no other. With his own secrets to hide and his career at stake, Col agrees to keep her on. But can the passion they hide survive the perils of a battle at sea? Soon, their love and devotion will be put to the test…

“With a lyrical style and a sexy twist, Elizabeth Essex is an author to watch!”

—Jenna Peterson

Review

PRAISE FOR ELIZABETH ESSEX

“Elizabeth Essex writes the perfect blend of fast-paced adventure and deliciously sexy romance. I couldn't put this book down! ALMOST A SCANDAL gets a place on my keeper shelf--I will read anything Elizabeth Essex writes!”

—New York Times bestselling author Celeste Bradley

“Essex delivers page-singeing passion and dangerous intrigue in her enthralling, sensual, and richly rewarding debut.—Booklist on The Pursuit of Pleasure

“Thoroughly enjoyable! A delightfully sexy romp with vividly-drawn characters that will keep readers turning the pages. Witty and entertaining, Elizabeth Essex is not to be missed!”—New York Times bestselling author Lorraine Heath on The Pursuit of Pleasure

“Intrigue, sensuality and romance collide in this wonderful story. With a lyrical style and a sexy twist, Elizabeth Essex is an author to watch!”—Jenna Peterson on The Pursuit of Pleasure

“Elizabeth Essexs The Pursuit of Pleasure is elegant, evocative, and absolutely dangerous to a good nights sleep. Once you pick this book up, you wont be able to set it aside until youve learned the last of its very satisfying secrets.”—New York Times bestselling author Courtney Milan on The Pursuit of Pleasure

“Four stars. Essex uses the edict ‘Never say never to passion to its best advantage as a headstrong heroine and dashing hero collide in a sensual romance laced with intrigue. The fast pace and gothic overtones enhance the love story, but Essexs forte is creating likeable, strong characters readers will love.”—Romantic Times on The Pursuit of Pleasure

About the Author

Elizabeth Essex is the acclaimed author of historical novels including The Pursuit of Pleasure and A Sense of Sin. When not re-reading Jane Austen, sipping tea or mucking about her garden, Elizabeth can be found at her computer, making up wonderful stories about people who live far more interesting lives than she. It wasnt always so. Elizabeth graduated from Hollins College with a BA in Classical Studies and Art History, and then earned her MA from Texas A&M University in Nautical Archaeology, also known as the archaeology of shipwrecks.
