Award-winning author Brenda Hiatt tops today’s Buffet with Rogue’s Honor, Book 1 in her series about “The Saint of Seven Dials,” inspired by a combination of Robin Hood and the Dread Pirate Roberts (for fans of “The Princess Bride”).

brendaBrenda broke into the writing business in the early 1990s by writing traditional Regency romances while she was a stay-at-home mom to two toddlers. Her goal was to sell a book before her youngest child started first grade, so that she could avoid going back to a “real job.” Brenda attained her goal and went on to sell six more Regency and Super-Romance novels to Harlequin during the next few years.

Then, within the space of a year, Harlequin closed their Regency line, her Army husband changed jobs, and the family moved from Texas to Indiana. Fortunately, Brenda found a new home at HarperCollins, where she wrote eight single-title historical romances. In the meantime, she explored scuba diving, community theater, and Taekwondo, earning a 2nd degree black belt. She also began experimenting with other kinds of writing: plays, women’s fiction, and my new and current love, teen science fiction romance.

Rogue's Honor (The Saint of Seven Dials 1)

Lady Pearl Moreston would first sacrifice her virtue and live life as a chambermaid before she’d acquiesce to her stepmother’s demands and wed overbred Lord Bellowsworth. In fact, posing as a maid is precisely what Pearl does to escape her fate — a deception that could prove disastrous for the impetuous bluestocking. Luckily, Luke St. Clair comes to her rescue. Now here is a man worth losing one’s innocence to: strong, dashing, daring, worldly…and nary a drop of noble blood in him.

Luke is intrigued by this minx who seems unusually knowing for her tender years…and whose intoxicating beauty makes him light-headed in her presence. But Luke is not the adventurer the winsome Pearl believes him to be. And though her soft, succulent lips are begging to be kissed, Luke is honor-bound to never reveal to her his true identity. Yet how long can passion’s flames be restrained before two delightful deceivers are forced to drop their masks and surrender to the sweet, sensual fire?
