Jeremy Wentworth has been in love with Chloe Fong for as long as he can remember. Maybe it’s time he mentioned that he’s actually a duke?
The heroine is clipboard-dependent.
The hero has no idea what he's doing.

Finally, I did not write historical romances for all these years to let people think that duels don’t have rules.
BRING THE RULES TO YOUR GUNFIGHTS

It’s the first full day of the Trump administration and things feel exactly as bad as we expected them to. We have lots of work ahead of us, but I wanted to remind folks that we have prepared for this.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

Oh, also, hi! I’m Jess. I love (mostly historical) romance novels and believe they offer a powerful, feminist, inclusive, and joyful world for readers, plus killer author’s notes. I could say my favorite trope is class differences but we saw how that went with fave authors.
