Felicity Niven is a hopeful romantic. Writing Regency romance is her third career after two degrees from Harvard. And you know what they say about third things? Yep, it’s a charm. She splits her time between the urban South in the winter and the cool Great Lakes in the summer and thinks there can be no greater comforts than a pot of soup on the stove, a set of clean sheets on the bed, and a Jimmy Stewart film on a screen in the living room. She is the author of The Bed Me Books series (Bed Me, Duke and Bed Me, Baron, etc.) and The Love­locks of London series: When Ardor Blooms (prequel novella), Convergence of Desire, Clandestine Passion, and A Perilous Flirtation. Subscribers to her newsletter receive free second epilogues, prequels, and stories.

• Where should I start with reading your books?

  • When Ardor Blooms is a lovely way to get started because (a) it's free with a free newsletter subscription and (b) it's very low-angst with some steam.

• What's the suggested reading order of your books?

  • All the novellas and novels do function as stand-alones.

  • If you are reader who thrives on reading in order, I do suggest starting with The Lovelocks of London and then moving to The Bed Me Books series.

  • The Lovelocks of London suggested order: When Ardor Blooms, Convergence of Desire, Clandestine Passion, A Perilous Flirtation, Harry's Christmas Present (short story)

  • The Bed Me Books suggested order: Duke the Halls (and second epilogue), Bed Me, Duke (and second epilogue), Bed Me, Baron (and second epilogue), Bed Me, Earl (and second epilogue), Jack & Helen & Phin & Caro (short story)

  • At this time, you can only get the short story Harry's Christmas Present in the month of December with a free newsletter subscription.

• How can I get the Jack & Helen & Phin & Caro Valentine's Day story?

  • At this time, you can only get the short story in the month of February with a free newsletter subscription.
