I’m Delphine Ross and I write lush, witty, and angsty romances set during the nineteenth century. The Poetics of Passion was my debut romance novel in the Muses of Scandal series, which explores the art of historical romance—think painters, poets, and dancers with a side of earls and dukes. Now available: The Dance of Desire.

Both books work as standalones, so feel free to start the series wherever you wish.
