Gemma Blackwood
Gemma Blackwood adores romances with rakish heroes, scandal, intrigue, and (most importantly of all) happy endings.

She can be found in the West Country writing in a shed at the bottom of her garden, which is the only place she can possibly get away from her inquisitive cat.

“The Duke Suggests a Scandal” is the first novel in the “Redeeming the Rakes” series and was released in 2017. Death has made Harry Marsden the most fortunate man in all of England. Six years prior he believed himself to be doomed to misery, ordered into this marriage for money by his profligate dad. The space of the prior year has found him first fatherless, and then finally a wealthy widower, and the unexpected heir to the Dukedom of Westbourne.

If good fortune could only be contagious. Nothing could be more devastating than the news that Catherine Sharp (his old friend) will soon agree to this unwanted betrothal. Catherine is a penniless gentleman’s daughter, and she aims to give up her own freedom in order to secure better prospects for her sister.

Harry has to engineer the scandal of the season in order to overturn her engagement. Surely a Duke is going to serve better than any other for Catherine’s marriage of convenience?

A scandal is one matter, while the heart is quite another. In order to wed her, Harry has to convince his childhood sweetheart that their marriage is not going to be a match of convenience, but one of love.

“The Duke’s Defiant Debutante” is the first stand alone novel and was released in 2018. The reclusive Duke of Redhaven is not someone to be trifled with. Fortunately, neither is Miss Angelica Stirling, who is clever, lively, and quite outspoken. She does not have high hopes for her first London Season, not that she cares too much. Who needs a husband when you’ve got a good book to read?

When she gets a surprise proposal from Edward Thorne, Duke of Redhaven, it all appears too good to be true. Which it is.

The Duke’s brooding, handsome, and mysterious, and everything she does not want in a husband. Could one of the largest fortunes in England truly be worth the trouble?

Edward comes back to London after a decade long self-imposed exile in need of a bride. However his strategy of proposing to the first agreeable looking lady backfires horribly. Angelica’s anything but the docile little debutante he thought she was. Before long, he’s facing a predicament he never pondered. Angelica’s runaway from London, and taken his heart with her.

“A Earl’s Secret Passion” is the first novel in the “Scandals of Scarliffe Hall” series and was released in 2018. A forbidden love, two warring families.

Lady Cecily Balfour was always taught that the Hartley men are dangerous, mad, and bad to know. When she meets Robert Hartley, the Earl of Scarcliffe, she makes just a few additions to this list: handsome, charming, stubborn, infuriating, and tempting.

Society expects for her to make an advantageous match of her dad’s selection. What can she possibly do now that her own selection is a man that she’s expressly forbidden to see?

The Earl of Scarcliffe enjoys drinking, hunting, bachelordom, billiards. Love does not feature on his list of requirements. Particularly for a woman with a stubborn streak running a mile wide and a penchant for riding off on his favorite stallion. And if that same woman is a Balfour? Not a chance.

However Cecily just so happens to have this rapier-sharp sense of humor, striking pair of blue eyes, and a taste for adventure. Robert’s heart is in just as much danger as his head is going to be should they get caught together.

When Cecily and Robert defy their powerful families for love, what’ll they be forced to sacrifice in return?

“A Duke She Can’t Refuse” is the first novel in the “Impossible Balfours” series and was released in 2019. Headstrong Miss Daisy Morton has got a decision to make: play the fiancee to a duke that she does not love, or be faced with ruin.

Daisy’s loyalty to her friends is always getting her into these awkward places. But unfortunately, these places include the bedroom of the stern young Duke of Loxwell, where she gets caught hiding by one of society’s most notorious of gossips.

The duke, for mysterious reasons of his own, saves her reputation with this false engagement. There is just a single rule: she cannot fall in love with him. It’s simple enough. What are the odds that the true love that Daisy has always been dreaming of should wind up being the strait laced, strict, surprisingly tender duke with that devastating smile reserved particularly for her?

The new Duke of Loxwell, Alexander Balfour, lives for duty and honor. The dukedom weighs just as heavily on his shoulders as the responsibility of setting an example for his four unruly sisters. And this honor has just sealed his fate forever. One fatal mistake in his past means that he can’t fall in love without also betraying those that he holds dearest. Even if Daisy turns his whole world upside down in a hundred different ways, she can’t save him from his lonely penance. Or can she?

“Sword-Crossed Lovers” is the first novel in the “Wild Whitbys” series and was released in 2024. Cassandra Whitby (as her family faces bankruptcy) does the only thing that a young lady of little beauty and gentle birth is able to: Dress in her brother’s clothes and enter into a fencing competition, obviously. She only has to persuade Lord Kendrick, her sworn enemy, to help her do it.

Hugo Kendrick is just as cunning as he is charming, scarred both inside and out. Cassandra knows that his help is going to come at a price, however the prize money could really secure her sisters’ future, and that is worth risking it all. She never expected that he would be paying Hugo’s price with some breathless moonlit kisses. Or that the only thing that would drive her crazier than his mocking smile may be the glitter of starlight in his dark eyes.

Or that he would enter into the tourney himself, only to spite her. No, wait. She probably should have expected that. This treacherous cad.

Swords clash, sparks fly, and before Cassandra even knows it, the fencing trophy is no longer the only prize that’s in contention. Hugo has got his sights set on her. And he always fights to win.
