Curse of the Ravenscrofft Brides: A Regency Romantasy

Meet the compelling characters in the Ravenscrofft world. Shape-shifting viscount, Wyatt Sinclair, is burdened with a deep, dark secret. Beautiful Sofia Nightingale is fleeing her evil stepfather. She runs right into Wyatt’s arms. A young boy, seemingly mute, has appeared. Could he possibly be Wyatt’s brother? And the Ravenal Roma clan, Wyatt’s relatives, have decided to settle at Ravens Keep, the viscount’s country estate.

This spicy, Regency-era Romantasy sweeps the reader into a richly detailed story of love, adventure, mystery and danger. Sofia and Wyatt will have to unearth long-buried family secrets, battle uncontrollable urges and face death before they can claim their happy ending.

About Nola

Nola Saint James started reading romance novels to get a break from her “real life” job. She realized that an hour curled up in a comfy chair with a well-written book was the best stress reliever in the world. Especially if good vanquishes evil and the main characters always get their “happily ever after.”

Nola’s Journal

Turn the page and turn it again. Everything old is new again. I wonder and I dream. I question and consider. With pen and ink I capture each fleeting thought and press it like a cherished flower in this journal.

Recipe Chest

“Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast,” wrote Shakespeare. Whether one serves a simple but perfect scone or a dinner fit for a king, the pleasure of entertaining is ultimately in the company. The Quality knew how to entertain. So do we.

Fashion with Nola

The fashions of the Regency Period are very distinctive and quite different from those of the mid-18th century. New manufacturing processes made clothing more affordable. Ease of movement, especially for women, informed some styles. Men eschewed colorful evening wear for severe, but elegant black and white ensembles.
