Girl vs Earl

Girl Vs Earl

Published by Piatkus Entice
E-book: March 24 2013

When Miranda finds herself fighting for her home, her job and her heart, sleeping with the enemy may not be the best tactic.

With no family of her own, Miranda Marshall has developed a healthy respect – some would say obsession – with other people’s histories. As property manager of a spectacular island castle in Cornwall, she’s made St Merryn’s Mount one of the UK’s most popular heritage attractions. While she may have the castle running like clockwork, Miranda hasn’t bargained on its sexy owner returning to claim his birthright.

Dark, handsome and with a rakish reputation, Jago, the Earl of St Merryn, not only looks like a pirate but is intent on flogging the Mount to a soulless leisure corporation. Miranda faces the battle of her life as she tries to persuade him to face up to his past and continue the St Merryn dynasty. But Jago has his own reasons for jumping ship and when he throws down the gauntlet to Miranda, she’s forced to delve into painful memories she’d much rather keep hidden.

Fever Cure

Fever Cure

Published by Samhain
ISBN: 978-1-60928-499-2
E-book: July 12 2011
Paperback: June 1 2012

The road to heartbreak is paved with honorable intentions…

After a year dealing with her mum’s health scare and the end of a bad relationship, Keira Grayson was looking forward to kicking up her heels at her best friend’s wedding. Until she kicks off her (spare) knickers in front of the trifecta of perfection. Tom Carew. Son of an earl, honorable doctor and possibly the hottest man on the planet.

One look at Keira’s delightful embarrassment, and Tom’s hormone meter spins off the charts. Trouble is, his bags are already packed to return to the jungles of Papua New Guinea. He has patients waiting—and amends to make for a terrible choice that left devastation in its wake.

They both reason that indulging in a one-time dinner date won’t hurt…until their inhibitions melt away in the heat of their lethal sexual chemistry. Leaving Keira wondering if a sizzling fling is just what the doctor ordered, or another prescription for relationship disaster. And Tom fighting a battle against inner demons that could shatter both their hearts.

Praise for Fever Cure

“Fever Cure is chilli hot, emotional and funny. A class act from Phillipa Ashley.”
– Liz Fielding – RITA Winner and Romantic Times ‘Love and Laughter Career Achievement Winner.

“Having been the first book I’ve read by this author, I have to say Ms. Ashley has done a superb job of crafting this novel. She has penned two amazing characters that have both been through terrible times in the past, one of which is still trying to find redemption by distancing themselves from others so they don’t find themselves in a relationship. I loved the dialogue, and the interfering secondary characters that thought Keira and Tom would be perfect for each other, so why not get them together. Sort of like the perfect blind date, if ever there’s such a thing. The sex scenes were scorching, even though they’re being together was only supposed to be a fling and love wasn’t in the cards, still it happened and was illustrated brilliantly through this author’s words”
– The Romance Studio 5 Heart review

“absolutely loved it… the erotic tension is palpable.”
– Bookhounds

“A likeable heroine, humour, red-hot sex, strong emotion and evocative writing.”

Dating Mr. December

Dating Mr. December

Published by Sourcebooks
ISBN: 978-1402241420
Paperback: November 1 2010

When a nice girl asks twelve men to get naked, it’s sure to cause a scandal…

Emma Tremayne leaves her high-powered PR job and moves to the Lake District looking for peace, quiet-and celibacy. So perhaps it’s not the best idea when, in the spirit of “community-mindedness,” she agrees to help the local mountain rescue team fund raise by putting together a “tasteful” nude calendar. Especially since quite a lot of the community seems to mind what she’s up to-including the tall, dark and handsome Mr. December, Will Tennant, who appears to have gotten the wrong impression about Emma’s intentions. So how does she convince him that he’s more than just the flavor of the month?
