In 1797, when aspiring novelist Jane Austen becomes one of the Damned, the beautiful, fashionable, sexy vampires of Georgian England, her family insists she takes the waters at Bath, the only known cure. But the city becomes a blood bath when the French invade and the Damned are the only ones who can overthrow the French and save England. Jane now regards her creation as a vampire as a gift. She rejects the cure and discovers a world of freedom, love, and adventure as a vampire. But as an immortal, she loses her ability to write and must sever ties with her beloved sister Cassandra and the rest of her family. Under the shadow of the guillotine, Jane will have to decide whether eternal life and love are too high a price to pay for the loss of what means most to her as a mortal.
“It’s a light, fun read and as such hugely enjoyable...well-written and by a promising new author. I recommend it whole-heartedly.” — All About Romance “THE RULES OF GENTILITY is absolutely delightful...It’s funny, it’s sassy, and it’s intelligently written. Ms. Mullany is quickly proving she’s a very talented author with a wonderful future ahead.” — Romance Junkies “THE RULES OF GENTILITY by Janet Mullany is a hoot. Laugh-out-loud funny in spots, this wonderful romance kept me giggling and sighing, all at once!” — RomanceReaderatHeart.com “Mullany is clearly the witty, secret love child of Jane Austen and Lord Byron. How she managed time travel is my only question.” — Kathryn Caskie, USA Today Bestselling Author “Janet Mullany’s lively heroine has to decide between the eligible gentlemen favored by her parents, and the wayward but well-born rake who has stolen her heart. Philomena’s desire to rescue less fortunate women from vice takes her into parts of London where it is not normally wise to go, and you will find it very difficult to put this book down until the heroine is safely back in the arms of her chosen suitor.” — Janet Aylmer, author of Darcy's Story “A hilarious peek into the whirlwind mixups of a Young Miss on a husband hunt. What fun!” — Kasey Michaels “The saga of an Austen-era bachelorette puts the lie to Regency delicacy in this fun romantic spoof by Mullany...saucy narrator and bubbly tone.” — Publishers Weekly “Mullany pens an impressively compelling Jane Austen mashup full of humor (”You damned Damned!”) and poignant irony...a very satisfying page-turner for vamp-lovers and Austen fans alike.” — Publishers Weekly “A fast-paced adventure for those who don’t mind the vampire craze impinging upon historical events and beloved authors.” — Booklist
