Jess Michaels Yes! Miles gets his happily ever after in Pleasuring the Lady, book 2 of The Pleasure Wars!
Jess Michaels I love him so much! But I'm not sure. Right now he's not on the schedule but I know he's going to show up a lot as a favorite character of mine so you never know!!
Jess Michaels I'm so glad you enjoyed the series! Marcus actually already has a book (the Shelley series fits into the years before his marriage). His book is The Scoundrel's Lover, book 2 in my Notorious Flynns series. You can read it standalone, but if you like reading in order, the first book in that series The Other Duke is free if you join my newsletter or can be bought at any retailer! :)
Jess Michaels Amazon had some kind of glitch. Trust me, that was not on our side. It is back up now.
Jess Michaels Hi Laurie,

Folly and Marina from the Seasons series do not have a book of their own. I thought of writing it, but I have so much on my plate at present with dukes and then some other upcoming projects! But I'd never say NEVER! :)
Jess Michaels I assume you're asking for a couple I haven't written. I would have to say Anne and Gilbert from the Anne of Green Gables series. He loves her because she's smart and funny and sassy and I think as a girl that left an impression for what a man should value in a woman. Their romance and family still make me happy.
Jess Michaels Lots coming up! So...

Adored in Autumn (Seasons 4) is out January 10.
Fascinated (The Wicked Woodleys) - a m/m historical novella in the Woodley world with Aaron and Griffin from Seduced. It's out February 7.

Then a new series starts March 14. The 1797 Club is about ten friends, all destined to be dukes, who formed a club to help each other as they grew up. Now they're all about to face their biggest challenge: falling in love.

The first book is The Daring Duke with a golden boy hero, a wallflower heroine and a pretend courtship that gets really real, really fast. It's out March 14. There will be 4 books out this year from that series. 6 in 2018 to finish out the series.
Jess Michaels Hi Jane!! I'm so glad you enjoyed Lady Waverly's Lovers. I loved writing those wicked little stories. I have a LOT on my plate right now. In addition to Autumn coming January 10, I have a final novella coming in the Woodley series in February, then a new 10-book series starting in March that is keeping me busy for the next two years, then a HUGE secret project that will fill ALL of 2019. So my dance card is pretty full. If I have time to write some more stories about Lady Waverly it isn't out of the question, it's just a matter of making time.
Jess Michaels Hi J.D. --

Oh yay! Well, I hope you love them! I would recommend starting with The Other Duke, as it starts my Notorious Flynns series and that rolls right into my current series, The Wicked Woodleys. It's the best place, probably. Though you can see a full list of my books at
Jess Michaels I think I'm actually taking all my risks. I went entirely indie this year and that was a huge risk. I write the stories I love. I would say that my next "step" is doing indie translations (we're already working on audio). The risk of that is a lot of money put out front without any promise of return. But my life is a series of risks.
Jess Michaels Oh gosh, as much as I love to help other authors, I am not able to read all the books that people would like me to review. This year I'm writing about 8 books and almost as many next year, so I'm working on my own material about 80 hours a week, along with promotion.

However, I do recommend you join Romance Writers of America and your local chapter. You can find a critique group there that would be able to help you! Good luck!
Jess Michaels Oh, good question! I've been lucky enough to meet a lot of my very favorite authors and become friends with some of them. I know how hard writers work and we often have a lot in common, so I haven't had a big "freak out" moment for a long time. Probably someone like Amy Poehler or Neil Patrick Harris, who both have recent books out and I would fangirl out on for other reasons! LOL
Jess Michaels Hi Isabel,

Right now it is not in the plans HOWEVER since I am switching to being entirely indie published in 2015, I'll have a lot more freedom to decide what and when to write what. :) So I wouldn't rule it out entirely. Right now though, The Ladies Book of Pleasures series will be complete on December 9 with A Measure of Deceit (Grace's story).
Jess Michaels Updated 5/25/15: Right now I am working on my next series, The Wicked Woodleys. If you liked The Notorious Flynns series (The Other Duke, The Scoundrel's Lover, The Widow Wager, No Gentleman for Georgina and A Marquis for Mary) then you've already met Edward, Marquis of Woodley and you'll see some of his family in A Marquis for Mary. The Woodley series continues their stories. I have finished FORBIDDEN (August 25) and have just started DECEIVED (October 13). And A Marquis for Mary is really a bridge novella. So it is #5 in The Notorious Flynns series and is 0.5 in The Wicked Woodleys.

7/14: I have a new series that will finish out the rest of 2014 for me. The Ladies Book of Pleasures series is about a very sexy, scandalous book that is sweeping through Society and three women whose lives are changed by it. The books are A Matter of Sin (out July 15), A Moment of Passion (October 14) and A Measure of Deceit (December 9). I will be starting work on my NEXT book, the first of my 2015 releases, next week. :)
Jess Michaels I think the best thing in the world is getting to interact with readers! Writing is such a solitary endeavor and there is a lot of anxiety when a book comes out. But when a reader contacts me here on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ or my other social media or emails me and tells me they liked the book or it moved them? That makes all the rest of it worthwhile.

Also... working in my pajamas.
