A Passion for Passion

A Passion for Passion is a love letter to genre romance fiction. It celebrates the joyful silliness of books that are written to follow the rules. 

‘A predictably brilliant and joyful satirical page-turner’ Deborah Frances-White, comedian and host of The Guilty Feminist podcast

Alice Fraser has a special place in her heart for the silliness of romance novels. The journey to reach a believable Happily Ever After can go via an unbelievable rollercoaster of intensity, through wildly entertaining twists and unlikely turns. To celebrate the joy this genre can bring to readers, Alice has created D'Ancey LaGuarde, the mysterious, undisputed regent of the art of romance.

Collecting together excerpts, book cover designs, character sketches, and synopses of D'Ancey’s most absurdly frivolous and outlandishly whimsical works: from A Knight of Passion to The Dragon Lord's Lady, and Luring the Laird to A Cowboy Called Home, this is an exclusive glimpse into the tropes and dreams that rise through the fecund swamp of the romantic mind. A fulsome challenge to anyone denying the importance of joy for its own sake.

This book will be a source of solace and encouragement for romance fans, and the perfect companion to smuggle in to your next ball...
