First published in hardback by traditional British publisher Severn House Emilia Cavendish is given a first class ticket on board Titanic and sets out to start a new life with her godmother. The first few days aboard the world-famous 'unsinkable' liner are everything she hoped for as she enjoys the unaccustomed luxuries of the fabulous ship. She makes new friends amongst her fellow passengers - not least the darkly handsome, if somewhat overbearing, Carl Latimer. But when Titanic hits the iceberg, Emilia finds herself in danger from an old enemy on board, and as she struggles to escape him, Titanic starts to sink. . . Review for Titanic Affair: "This is a well-crafted and fast moving story. Using the setting of the maiden voyage of the Titanic takes a degree of courage on the part of any author and in this case it paid off. I was delighted to find a fresh slant on the well-known events of the tragic voyage. What stands out is the excellent use of historical detail such as the Crown Derby china, the electric horse, the Oxford marmalade and the author's ability to blend in real passengers like Mr Bruce Ismay, the chairman of the White Star Line, with her fictional characters in a seamless manner."- Myfanwy Cook, Historical Novel Society

Amanda Grange pens a well-written Regency Gothic that is a definite page-turner. Ms. Grange creates a satisfyingly eerie atmosphere at Stormcrow Castle where the reader can easily imagine almost anything happening within its walls. Torkrow is a perfect Gothic hero and Helena the perfect Gothic heroine . . . Highly recommended." -The Romance Readers Connection "Grange peppers her story with rich atmospheric details, from a masked ball to a cast of colorful locals.

A Regency Romance. Tenth Anniversary Edition Note: This book was originally published under the title of Rebecca's Refusal It all began one snowy night . . . When snow drives Miss Rebecca Foster's carriage off the road, she is forced to take shelter at an inn, where she meets the impossible Joshua Kelling. Their chance encounter has repercussions neither of them can foresee, but Rebecca has no intention of marrying Josh just to protect her reputation. Through a whirl of balls and skating parties they spar, but it is only when his life is in danger that she knows her own heart, and at last comes to understand his. Review "There is plenty in this book to enjoy; the images of both Manchester and London, complete with Frost Fair, the rivalry between Rebecca and various other girls as they try to catch (or avoid) Joshua, and the glittering assemblies they all attend. Some Regencies are thin on this sort of description but not this one . . . If you want a nicely crammed Regency (and I certainly do) bursting with descriptive passages, action and general bustle then this is it." - Rachel A Hyde, My Shelf Amanda Grange: Humour, adventure and romance, with a guaranteed happy ending.

Regency Gothic Romance Note: Previously published under the title of Carisbrooke Abbey When Miss Hilary Wentworth takes up an appointment at Carisbrooke Abbey, little does she suspect it will lead her into a whirlwind of mystery and romance. Her employer, Marcus, Lord Carisbrooke, is gruff and irascible, yet underneath his manner she senses a deep and abiding pain. As her feelings for him deepen, Marcus's crusty exterior vanishes and she finds her love is returned. But the secret that haunts the abbey must be overcome before they can find the happiness they richly deserve. Review "I am delighted to see the return of the Gothic novel, and in this case, one so skilfully handled. We have the full range of ingredients here. Miss Hilary Wentworth is the orphaned young woman going for a position to a gloomy, dramatic abbey set in a wild and lonely spot; Lord Carisbrooke is her irascible employer who has more to him than at first seems the case. There are strange sounds in the night, secret passages, an untrustworthy heir, a mad woman and sullen retainers. Lord Carisbrooke has a terrible secret hanging over him; dastardly deeds are in train and Hilary finds herself in very real danger. Over the top you might think, but Amanda Grange tells her story so well and with such bravura we are convinced and read on to an exciting denoument and a satisfying end. An absorbing and enjoyable read." -Pamela Cleaver, Historical Novel Society
