Alyssa Clarke
Author Alyssa Clarke writes steamy Regency Historical Romances that feature sassy, sometimes unconventional heroines and swoon-worthy heroes.

“Love Me, If You Dare”, her debut novel, came to her in this hot and fun dream about an enemy to lover romance where she played the leading lady that fell in love with this duke who looked remarkably like Henry Cavill.

When Alyssa’s not writing, she enjoys movie/games night, hiking, with her husband and two gorgeous kids, and Cronus (their Siberian Husky). She’s a lover of cheesecake and wine.

“Love Me, If You Dare” is the first novel in the “Wagers and Wallflowers” series and was released in 2021. They are merry widows, debutantes, bluestockings, and wallflowers. Members of a secret exclusive Lady’s Club in Berkeley Square. There, the ladies learn to fight, read some scandalous books, indulge in daring wagers, and learn the art of wooing the gentlemen that they will bring to their knees.

Duke of Hartford, Sebastian Crawford, cares about his family, duty, and honor. He has got it all planned out: his sister is engaged, and now plans on selecting a duchess from a list of eligible debutantes for himself. The very last thing that he expects is for his sister to disappear just a few weeks before her wedding.

Lady Theodosia Winfern is upset when this devilishly attractive duke accuses her of persuading his sister to run away from her duties. He declares that Theo’s not going to leave his side (even if this means sleeping in his chamber) until his sister is located. Theo doesn’t have much choice but to go along with such a scandalous demand. The very last thing that she wants is to have this powerful duke be her enemy, particularly since he knows about her top secret lady’s club.

They’re each quick to deny the increasingly fiery attraction existing between them until temptation gets irresistible to both of them and passion can’t be denied any longer.

“Marry Me, If You Dare” is the second novel in the “Wagers and Wallflowers” series and was released in 2021. The very last thing that Lady Perdie Crawford expected when she escaped from London was to encounter difficulties in securing lodgings as a lady that was traveling alone. Claiming one Scotsman in particular as her husband was just supposed to be a brilliant little ruse. But the damn devilish, handsome, and charming scoundrel claims they’re really married now, and he has to remain by her side to protect her from undesirables.

Perdie was not looking for distraction, definitely not marriage, or the attention and love from any gentleman. But, with every moment spent in Thaddeus’ presence, attraction burns fierce and hot, and Perdie finds that he awakens this irresistible desire inside of her to which she can never surrender.

What’s a lady really to do but run. Unfortunately London wasn’t were Perdie should’ve gone. With the ton all atwitter over this highly sought after and newly minted Earl of Sherburn, she finds herself facing this sensual Scot that is more determined than ever to rip down all of her walls and claim her as his own.
