Perilous Secrets is a two-book Regency romance series by Barbara Monajem where dangerous secrets drive the plots. The Smuggler’s Escape (2020) and His Lordship’s Incorrigible Wife (2021) each feature characters whose hidden lives threaten their chances at love.
The Smuggler’s Escape follows a heroine entangled in the smuggling trade along England’s coast, a common enough occupation during the Regency era but one that puts her at odds with the law and with any man respectable enough to court her. His Lordship’s Incorrigible Wife shifts the focus to a titled household where a wife’s past threatens to upend her marriage.
Monajem has written extensively in both Regency and paranormal romance, and the Perilous Secrets duology fits squarely into her historical work. The books can be read independently of each other, though readers will catch references between them.
