     Elizabeth Michels grew up on a Christmas tree farm in rural South Carolina. After tip-toeing her way through school with her focus on ballet steps and her nose in a book, she met a boy and followed him a thousand miles away from home to Kansas City, Missouri, before settling down in North Carolina. She attended Park University where she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BA in Interior Design. Elizabeth is a lover of happily-ever-afters; she invites you to read her stories, get lost, and enjoy.

Must Love Dukes

fullDescription

The Mad Duke leaned in closer, his lips gently brushing her ear, and whispered:

"I dare you."

She Can't Resist the Dare

Lillian Phillips could not imagine how her quiet, simple life had come to this. Blackmailed by the Mad Duke of Thornwood into accepting one wild dare after another...all because of a pocket watch. Desperate to recover her beloved father's pawned timepiece, Lily did something reckless and dangerous and delicious—something that led to a night she'd never forget.

He has a Reputation for Scandal

When Devon Grey, Duke of Thornwood, runs into a mesmerizing, intoxicating, thieving woman who literally stole from his bedchamber—with his new pocket watch—Devon plots his revenge. If the daring wench likes to play games, he's happy to oblige. After all, what's the ruse of being the Mad Duke if you can't have some fun? But the last laugh might just be on him...

Praise for Elizabeth Michels:

"Rich with wit and charm."—Publishers Weekly on How to Lose a Lord in 10 Days or Less

"Michels' fresh and funny debut will delight readers with its endearing characters and infectious mix of sweet yet sexy romance and realistic yet wry wit."—Booklist Online STARRED on Must Love Dukes

      December 2, 2013
      Michels’s first Regency-era Tricks of the Ton novel gleams with humor and romance. Miss Lillian Phillips has always wanted more independence, but she’s shocked by her own behavior when she picks up a man in a tavern, spends the night in his bed, and steals his pocket watch. A year later, they meet in London and Lily discovers that her conquest, Devon Grey, is the “Mad Duke” of Thornwood. Devon promises to keep their history a secret if Lily will participate in his tricks, which result in humiliation for the horrible suitors her brother has picked for her. As Devon and Lily realize that they truly enjoy each other’s company, Lily must decide whether Devon really loves her or is just another man who wants to use her. Michels’s fast-paced debut is sweet and rarely explicit, and she accurately depicts the difficulties faced by 19th-century aristocratic women.

      Starred review from February 1, 2014
      The wench stole his watch! Devon Grey, Duke of Thornwood, should have known Lily Whitby was no ordinary lady when she followed him into a tavern and then followed him home. The clincher is waking up the next morning and discovering that both Lily and his brand-new pocket watch are gone. A year later, when Devon accidentally runs into Lily at a ball and learns that she is actually Lillian Phillips, he vows to teach her a lesson she won't soon forget. If Lily doesn't agree to participate in a series of daring wagers that he devises, Devon will ruin her reputation. What starts out as a fun way to pass the time for Devon soon turns into something much more serious once he discovers that Lily has managed to steal one more thing: his heart. Michels' fresh and funny debut will delight readers with its endearing characters and infectious mix of sweet yet sexy romance and realistic yet wry wit.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
