Welcome to Undercurrents of Romance with host Tracey Devlyn!

In Episode 28 of Undercurrents of Romance, Tracey Devlyn sits down with New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James to discuss her new historical romance, Hardly a Gentleman.

A runaway heiress. A naked laird. A marriage neither expected.
In Hardly a Gentleman, Eloisa James spins a sizzling Scottish romance where one bookish beauty collides with a brooding hero who wants nothing to do with love—until he’s forced to marry her. She may be his wife… but winning her heart is another matter.

Eloisa James is a New York Times bestselling author and professor of English literature who lives with her family in New York, but can sometimes be found in Paris or Italy. She is the mother of two and, in a particularly delicious irony for a romance writer, is married to a genuine Italian knight.
