The Regency Stud's Hard Bargain
(2026)(The third book in the Dick Stone, Regency Stud series)
A Story by Elizabeth Roubaix
When opportunity arises, Dick Stone stands at attention.
Lord Edward Richard Stone — disgraced marquess’s second son, war veteran, and London’s most notorious stud-for-hire — thought he’d seen every variety of marital disaster. Then his estranged brother summons him to St. James’s with a proposal too indecent to refuse: get his viscountess with child, and be paid handsomely for the trouble.
The lady in question, Calista, is far from the cold matron he expects. Her elegant companion is no mere chaperone. And when Edward stumbles into their bower of sapphic pleasures, they test the capacity of his celebrated cods.
But when tragedy strikes and fate deals Edward an impossible hand, he must reckon with the bargain he’s made — and confront a revelation about his most trusted friend that threatens to change everything he thought he knew.
The Regency Stud’s Hard Bargain is a filthy, fast-burning 10,000-word romp featuring one overworked stud, two determined ladies in love, and three incidents the vicar must never, ever learn about.
