Tell us about your book
Society’s Most Scandalous Viscount is the third book in my Regency Charms series where each novel is represented by a different charm on an enchanted bracelet. There isn’t any magic involved, but the bracelet does fall into the right hands often and clever coincidence places a role in the stories. The charms are almost like characters too, as they are significant in representing a theme in the romance. Even though the bracelet makes an appearance in each novel, each book can be read as a stand-alone.
What inspired you to write Society’s Most Scandalous Viscount?
I have always wanted to write about a pirate since I love reading about them. A romantic image of a pirate, combined with the aristocratic polish of a viscount seemed the perfect combination for my hero. I wanted him to have wealth and advantage, respect by society, yet also dare to cause scandal and cross all boundaries…which Kellaway takes great pleasure in doing.
How much time per week do you spend writing/editing your work?
Not as much time as I wish. Writing time is valuable and rare since I’m a fulltime kindergarten teacher as well, but I’m writing the story all the time in my head. I think about scenes while commuting, edit in the evening and sometimes before school I manage to get a few thoughts down to work on later. I keep paper in every room of my house and on the front seat of my car. And being an educator does have the benefit of a generous calendar - my weekends are free and often school is closed for holiday breaks. Of course, during the summer I write like a demon.
What are you working on at the moment?
Currently, I’m completing the final book in the Regency Charms series, His Forbidden Debutante, which releases in February 2016. Everything comes full circle and the bracelet reaches its last charm. I enjoyed writing theses stories so much, it will be hard to say good bye to the characters, but I already have something new talking to me and I’m anxious to start a new series which makes ending Regency Charms a little easier.
Title: Society’s Most Scandalous Viscount
Author: Anabelle Bryant
Genre: Historical Romance
When rules are made to be broken…
Viscount Kellaway may sound like a gentleman, but he doesn’t act like one. As far as Kell is concerned, drink, women and the wrong side of the law are much more attractive indulgences than could be found in polite society – much to the scandal of the ton.
With all of Brighton’s women to choose from, Kell has never settled for one – and his devilish good looks have meant he’s never had to. But when he spies Angelica Curtis walking on the beach by moonlight, the living vision of a familiar dream, all that changes.
Suddenly, Kell finds himself craving the touch of a single woman…and it just so happens that the woman in question won’t have him! But if Kell’s bad ways have taught him anything, it’s that nothing is truly out of bounds…
