Risky Regencies tell us:

ANDREA PICKENS/ANDREA DaRIF has been busy with a new series for Warner Forever, the “Hellion Heroes.” The first book, The Spy Wore Silk, is out in March 2007. This is what she says about it: “At first blush, Mrs. Merlin’s Academy for Select Young ladies is the very pattern card of a proper boarding school. But looks can be deceiving, along with music, art, dancing, and the social graces, the students–all streetwise orphans chosen for their toughness and intelligence–are being molded into an elit fighting force. England’s secret weapon. When a critical government document is stolen from Whitehall, the student known only as Siena is given the assignment to keep it from falling into enemies’ hands…”

The Nethercott Tales — paranormal romantic suspense set in Regency England
From Jocelyn Kelley‘s site

The Nethercott Tales are coming…In July 2007, the first Nethercott Tales book, tentatively titled The Mistress School, will be released by Signet Eclipse. If you like a bit of paranormal and suspense along with a thrilling historical romance, these are the books for you. In The Mistress School, a ghost comes to ask Jade Nethercott to help him prove his betrothed’s brother, Gideon Bannatyne murdered him before someone else is slain. The answer will be in the demimonde – the world of courtesans and rogues where a lady should never wander. To enter that world, Jade needs some lessons on how to act the part, and the person best able to introduce her to someone to teach her is Gideon himself. Will the lessons be in love or lead to disaster?
