Learn morePeople magazine named Eloisa James' novel Midnight Pleasures "Page Turner of the Week" and raved, "Romance writing does not get much better than this." Now the acclaimed author returns with another sumptuous tale of passion and misadventure in Regency England.
Gabrielle Jerningham cherishes the portrait of her betrothed, the perfect Peter Dewland … until she meets his commanding older brother Quill. But it is Peter to whom she has been promised. And how can she possibly transform her voluptuous, outspoken self into the poised gentlewoman Peter requires?
When Gabby's shocking d├®colletage plunges to her waist at her first ball, Peter is humiliated. But Quill comes to the rescue, to the peril of his heart. An accident years before has left Quill plagued by headaches—the kind that grow more excruciating with strenuous exercise. Needless to say, this hardly bodes well for siring progeny. But the very sight of Gabby leaves Quill breathless. One forbidden kiss and Quill vows to have her, headaches and Peter be damned! But it will take a clever man—and a cleverer woman—to turn the tables on propriety and find their way to true love.
Eloisa James, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, wrote her first novel after graduating from Harvard, but alas, it was rejected by every possible publisher. After she got an MPhil from Oxford, a PhD from Yale, and a job as a Shakespeare professor, she tried again, with much greater success. In 2013 she won a Rita Award for Best Romance Novella. She teaches Shakespeare in the English department at Fordham University in New York. She is the mother of two children and, in a particularly delicious irony for a romance writer, is married to a genuine Italian knight.

Reviews
“Enchanting Pleasures is a true original! Readers will be delighted with the engaging cast of characters, the sensitive handling of Quill’s headaches, the addition of a mystery that follows Gabby from India, and the magical, stirring style that is uniquely Eloisa James. Different and refreshing, Enchanting Pleasures is sure to charm you.”
“Offers dual romances, charismatic characters, and a healthy dose of humor…A side story involving the East India Company’s search for a missing Indian prince provides the narrative with depth and a little political intrigue…Once again, James weaves a story as rich in plot as in character.”
“James’ enjoyable romance includes an interesting subplot about the machinations of the East India Company in the early part of the nineteenth century.”
“Another winner from Regency-romancer James…Delightful heroine, masterful hero, and an ingenious plot: intelligent, sexy fun.”
