Sealed With a Kiss Event - Anne Barton


Anne lives in Maryland with her husband and three children, who try valiantly not to roll their eyes whenever she quotes Jane Austen. Her weaknesses are reality TV, cute-but-impractical shoes, and coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.

Meet Stephen and Amelia from TO ALL THE RAKES I’VE LOVED BEFORE:

After being jilted at her own engagement ball, Miss Amelia Wimple retreated to her townhouse and consoled herself with her beloved gossip rags. She was perfectly content with her life of solitude—until the night London’s most notorious rake made a dramatic appearance on her doorstep.
Lord Stephen Brookes was in trouble. Beaten and bruised, he needed a place to stay and recover. He wouldn’t have normally sought refuge in the home of a proper young lady, but he and Amelia were old acquaintances. And it’s not as though he went to her with seduction in mind.

The odd thing is, now that he’s with her, he can think of little else…



Check out Amelia and Stephen's love story in To All the Rakes I've Loved Before


After being jilted by her former beau, Miss Amelia Wimple retreated to her Mayfair town house and her ever-growing collection of gossips rags. Now, almost two years later, not even her beloved cousins, Rose and Olivia Sherbourne, can persuade her to give love another chance. But an unexpected midnight caller may open her heart once more.

Lord Stephen Brookes is the prince of pleasure, the duke of decadence-and it seems his exploits have finally caught up with him. When Stephen comes to Amelia seeking refuge, she can’t deny him . . . or the intense desire he sparks. As he attempts to heal her broken heart, they indulge in a private passion unlike anything either has experienced. Stephen knows sweet, sensual Amelia is meant to be his one and only. Now, he will do whatever it takes to convince her that a rake really can change his ways.

    I've already read all the book, released so far in the Honeycote series and so I didn't enter the giveaway today but wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed reading all your books!

    I'm so excited that the next book in the series, Scandalous Summer Nights is going to be released this year on October 28th and is already available for pre-order on Amazon!

    The wait might be a long one but I know it will be worth it!

  14. Is there going to be an another book to the series? I love the series and just somehow feel like it's complete. Refresh my memories but did Rose and Olivia get a HEA? I'm so bad with my memories now.

    1. Hi Sandy--yes! There are going to be 2 more books for (you guessed it) Olivia and Rose. Olivia's story will be out in the fall, and it's called SCANDALOUS SUMMER NIGHTS. I'm putting the finishing touches on it now... :) Thanks so much for keeping up with the Honeycotes!

    1. Hi, Lori! There are 2 books and 1 novella in the Honeycote series so far. Each of them can stand alone, but if you prefer to read in order, they go like this:

      1 - WHEN SHE WAS WICKED
      1.5 - TO ALL THE RAKES I'VE LOVED BEFORE (novella)
      2 - ONCE SHE WAS TEMPTED

      Thanks for checking them out! :)
