Bound By Their Secret Passion is now in bookstores, with online vendors, and in ebook version.
This is the last book in my Scandalous Summerfields series–Lorene’s story. Here is the back cover blurb:
A forbidden attraction… A hidden desire!
Years ago, penniless Lorene Summerfield wed for duty, giving her siblings the chance to marry for love. But now the generous-hearted countess finds herself widowed…and the man she’s loved in silence for years is falsely accused of her husband’s murder!
Although he closed his heart to love long ago, the Earl of Penford has always found Lorene irresistible. Their newly ignited passion may be scandalous, but now he’ll stop at nothing to clear his name and win Lorene’s hand!
Book 4 of The Scandalous Summerfields—
Disgrace is their middle name!
Here are what some readers/reviewers said about Bound By Their Secret Passion:
BOUND BY THEIR SECRET PASSION is an emotional romance packed with heartache yet also hopeful longing.
With this being the last book in the series, I was delighted to see all the past couples featured, thus letting me get caught up with their current lives. There are also plenty of other secondary characters in the story that I came to know well, as their personalities were brought to life with colorful behavior. The author inserted historical facts into quite a few scenes, and I enjoyed these moments of reality.
—A. Richard, Amazon reviewerDiane as always never ever disappoints, went through every emotion and was fully immersed into the book and it was a complete honour to read it, fell in love with the hero, usually in historical romance its the Hero’s you want to shout honour be damned listen to your heart first, utterly adore also the epilogue, and seriously want to slap the ever interfering Duchess but you need characters to love and hate to balance an amazing book Diane definitely does this, thank you Diane and Mills and Boon for letting be an insider reader member so I could read and review this amazing story
–GT, GoodreadsI have followed the fortunes of the Scandalous Summerfields as each of them found happiness. Each of the four books in the series has been immensely satisfying, and the final one, “Bound by their Secret Passion”, was no exception. It managed to tie up the loose ends and round off the series clearly, while also being a complete story in itself. And what a story! It had everything: intrigue, extortion, star crossed lovers and a scandal.

I’m a little sorry to say goodbye to all the Summerfields. I grew very fond of them and was happy to give each of them their happily ever after. I do, however, have a new book to be released by Harlequin Historical. I don’t know when yet, but more on that as soon as I know.
Meanwhile, I need to start another book. I’m open to all suggestions of what sort of Regency Historical I should write. A governess story? A story with some suspense? Heroes and heroines who are not aristocracy? Or would you like to see me write about a duke? How about more soldiers? How about another road story? Or popular themes like secret baby, a fairtale theme, reunion story, marriage of convenience?
Let me know!
Bound By Their Secret Passion can be purchased at any of these sites.
Congrats on the release! But I’ll definitely love to see some mysteries romances, road stories, reunions, enemies to lovers, and spies!! I love spies. ;-D
That’s not making it easy for me, Ki Pha!!
Congratulations on the new release and good luck with the next story!
Congrats on the new release, Diane!! And now I’m eager to hear details about the next release when you can share those! In the meantime, noooooo –don’t do any dukes!! LOL. Or secret babies (just not a fav of mine)! But anything else, I know I’ll enjoy because you always do a great job. I also know that some new characters will soon be whispering in your ears and catching your attention. Looking forward to whatever that next story will be!
Happy belated book birthday, Diane!
