About The Seduction

The Seduction is a run of connected Regency-era novellas from Eloisa James, each title built around a pair of complications -- a deception, a disguise, a lie -- that a couple has to work through before their romance can succeed. Two Dances and a Duke (2023) opens the run, followed the same year by Two Vows and a Viscount and Two Masquerades and a Major, with Two Lies and a Lord (2024) closing out the quartet.

The matching title structure signals the series' shared premise across all four entries: each couple's path to happiness runs through exactly two complicating deceptions before the truth -- and the romance -- can out.

Frequently asked questions

How many books are in The Seduction series?

Four: Two Dances and a Duke (2023), Two Vows and a Viscount (2023), Two Masquerades and a Major (2023), and Two Lies and a Lord (2024).

What connects The Seduction novellas?

Each title follows the same 'two [deceptions] and a [title]' structure -- every couple has to work through a pair of complicating lies, disguises or misunderstandings before their romance can succeed.

Do I need to read The Seduction novellas in order?

Not strictly -- each is a standalone romance with its own couple, though publication order is the conventional sequence.

Is The Seduction connected to James's other series?

No -- it's a standalone novella series, unconnected to her Wildes of Lindow Castle or Accidental Brides books.

Is a fifth Seduction book planned?

None has been announced as of August 2026; the quartet appears complete.
