Author Name
Lisette Giroux (Author)
Wow, has it been a long time since this was updated! Here is the 2024 story.Best-selling author Lisette (Dropped the initials, it just got too confusing) Giroux writes smart, sexy, fun, romances of all kinds. She has written over 12 (now 23! with a few more on the way!) books that are as much about the love of a family as about any one couple. Coming from a big French-Canadian and Italian family, she couldn't write love stories any other way. Not surprisingly, her stories also include a fair bit of food and men who cook and clean. And no, they aren't fantasy. (Ok, maybe wish fulfillment.)Romance might seem an odd fit after an architecture degree and jobs in everything from cosmetics to accounting to molecular biology but five minutes into their first date she knew she had met her future husband (Now Ex-Husband, but we had a good run). It has been twenty years, a kid, their fair share of richer, poorer, sickness, and health later and she still believes in a happy ending (Still believe in the happy ending, but my stories have changed, less insta-love unless you are a werewolf, more figuring out how to work it out).While romance author is the last in a long line of diverse careers (added another couple recently, day jobs, am I right?) it is by far her favorite. She now likes to say that all that career indecision was just research for her writing career. She hasn't even begun to tap into the stories from her time in the Air Force. Being a tech geek, self publishing was a natural fit for her and she dove in head first. Her first book was published in 2011 and only after it was uploaded for sale did she realize that maybe getting an editor might not be a bad idea. She won't ever make that mistake again! The following book was the beginning of her Lovers and Other Strangers series. When she started it was just to prove that she had more than one book in her. When the best friend character proved too good to pass up and got a story of his own, it became a series of 12 books and 4 novellas. She enjoys writing about imperfect heroes and heroines of all types and sizes who grow into themselves over the course of a book. Working at a major research university while writing, one of her students started asking her for tips to publish her own work and another new career was born. L.C. has taught her mechanics of self publishing at the university level and at writer's conferences. She is working to bring that and other courses online through her website justpublishyourself.com (Don't go there, I don't have time to teach the self-pub stuff anymore!)In 2014 she branched out to new adult with her Society series set in an ivy league secret society and Washington D.C. She also opened the vault on her cosmetics experience and started her Dolci Cosmetics series. This series is set in New York and Rome and features the glamour of fashion and beauty as well as the glittering world of high stakes business. (I still want to do the Cosmetics company series it is just too much fun not to, the secret society books got morphed with some paranormal stuff and will get released as a Romantasy series in the near future. Seriously I have more ideas than time but I think that is true for most writers.When Lisette isn't writing, she is hanging out with her family and dogs who are a lot more fun than anything on television. She has lived in more college towns than is good for anyone over the age of thirty. She finds it fertile ground for more story ideas.she loves to hear from her readers so feel free to drop her a note.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

A Stolen Identity. A Shared Success.

A Scandal Waiting to Explode. She lied.

A tiny fib of omission, but a world of difference. M.

E. Wright, the brilliant mind behind the groundbreaking research in agronomy, was no man.

He, J. A.

Lathrop, the esteemed professor, championed her work. He saw its brilliance, unaware of the secret hidden behind the pen.

Now, he's presenting their work at a prestigious conference, their future resting on his words. James Lathrop, Earl of Lansford, hides a secret life.

By day, a dedicated professor, by birthright, an Earl burdened by his family's past. He sees hope in M.

E. Wright, a chance to finally make a difference.

But one truth remains hidden: M. E.

Wright happens to be the self-same woman who gives him fits. As their success hangs in the balance, a shocking revelation threatens to shatter everything.

Will their shared triumph be exposed as a web of deceit?Buy it today and discover the truth!What others have to say about the book:“One moment I was laughing at Minerva's antics. Next, I was yelling at her to "go girl" when she was defending herself, and then there were moments when I wanted to strangle her because she wouldn't admit her feelings for James.

” Megan M on Amazon“The third "Heiress" story is more emotional than the first two but still as witty and endearing. ” Helen on AmazonThis steamy regency romantic comedy series will delight you if you are the type to laugh out loud at the antics of a “talking” dog, or cheer on difficult women, or scowl at men being nobcocks.

This series is not for the women looking for Georgette Heyer or Jane Austen. As amazing as they are, I have no wish to write like them.

If you are the type to quibble about a social faux pas you won’t be happy with this series. In short, this is not your mother’s Regency.

These girls are rebels who cross class lines like they skewer men’s hearts. Oh but these men! It takes a strong man to love a difficult woman.

Author Interview: Why do Regency Romance if you aren’t going to write it “correctly”?Because as much as I love Regency tropes the actual language and social customs are torturous. Have you read dear Jane? I mean all credit to her, she invented the novel as we know it but to sit down and read one of her stories now is onerous.

We don’t speak like that anymore. I love Regency love stories for the tension that the social mores of that time yielded.

But I also love a good laugh. These books give me the tropes I love, laughter, and women I can see myself and my friends in.

These are women you can imagine hatching plans with and enjoying a good laugh at how it all turned out afterward. If the women aren’t related how are they the “Heiresses of Eris”?One of the Regency tropes I love is the informal “club”, usually men bound together over a common distrust of women or some such nonsense which in the end they all get over.

Eris is the Greek goddess of chaos. She’s the one who started the Trojan War by tossing an apple into a group of goddesses that said “to the fairest”.

These girls cause their own sort of mayhem. None of them were comfortable in the roles society assigned them.

All of them decided to take matters into their own hands. That they all met was fate.

When they did, they dubbed themselves the Heiresses of Eris. They knew what they were from the start.

About the steamy sex?Yes, there is sex in the books. These people love each other and frankly, are as shocked by it as anyone.

Sex and lust are easier to rationalize than love. Love makes you do crazy things like help someone against your own best interests just so you can see them happy.

Sex is the easier thing to explain. It feels good.

And the sex scenes are part of the character’s growth. Trust me, Regency couples had sex, why do you think there were so many rules against it?.
