It’s release day!
After three weeks of talking about Scandalous Sirens, introducing you to Anna, Elisa and Annalies, sharing scenes and quotes, and showing you glimpses of the omnibus as it came together, you can finally get the whole thing.
Although some of you apparently decided that waiting for release day was entirely unreasonable. 😊 I’ve been delighted to see how many readers went off and bought all three Scandalous Sirens books individually rather than wait for the omnibus. I hope you enjoyed them!
For everyone who did wait, though, the complete Scandalous Sirens trilogy is now available in one volume. And this turned into rather more than simply putting three books between one set of covers.
Three Scandalous Women—and the Beginning of a Family
Scandalous Sirens is the story of three very different women: Anna, Elisa and Annalies.
Each has her own scandal. Each has her own romance. And over the course of the trilogy, these three women become something none of them expected.
Family.
That matters beyond these three books, because their children become the heroes and heroines of my Scandalous Scions series. So if you’ve already read Scandalous Scions, this is where that sprawling family began. And if you haven’t, well…
This is where that sprawling family begins. 😊
I Wanted This One to Be Beautiful
When we decided to produce the omnibus, I didn’t want it to feel like three existing books had simply been bundled together. These stories—and these women—deserved something better.
Dar Albert’s cover is glorious, and the interior illustrations suit the books beautifully. The finished omnibus has an old-fashioned, almost antique quality that feels completely right for the series.
And because apparently we don’t know when to stop, we ended up producing it in three different formats.
The Ebook
This is the easy one.
All three complete Scandalous Sirens novels in a single ebook. One enormous dose of scandal, romance and found family, without having to stop between books.
The Print Edition
For readers who prefer paper—or simply want the complete trilogy sitting together on the shelf—there is also a print edition. This is where all the work we put into the interior really gets to show.
And Then There’s the Premium Edition…
Oh, boy. Mark and I decided fairly early that we wanted to experiment with a luxury edition of the omnibus. We weren’t even sure how many copies we would sell. One? Two? A handful?
So we did a lot of the work ourselves, including the hardcover jacket, and ordered the most extravagant version of the book we could reasonably produce.
Then the finished copy arrived.
I knew the specifications. I knew how many pages it had. I knew it was 6 × 9 inches. I knew what we had ordered. I was still not prepared for the thing when I picked it up.
It is huge.
And heavy. Somewhere in the neighbourhood of five pounds, by our highly scientific method of picking it up and saying, “Good grief.”
But because we chose the 6 × 9-inch format, it doesn’t look ridiculously thick or out of proportion. It looks like exactly what it is: one enormous, lavish historical romance collection.
It has sprayed edges. Silver gilt on the cover. The illustrated interior. And the sheer heft of the thing makes it feel less like a paperback compilation and more like an old-fashioned family volume.
We made a couple of videos because photographs really don’t convey it properly.
The exterior of the premium edition. 🙂
The interior with all the pretty pictures.
I may be just a little bit besotted with it.
The Scandalous Sirens Omnibus
Three women. Three scandals. Three unforgettable Victorian romances.
In a society where reputation can be destroyed by a whisper, three women must risk everything for love.
Elisa will do anything to reclaim the son taken from her—even marry a man she despises. But when his estranged son returns seeking revenge, their forbidden attraction threatens to destroy them both.
Natasha has beauty, independence, and no intention of becoming another society wife. Then an Irish sea captain arrives from Australia carrying secrets that could shake London society—and awaken a passion neither of them can resist.
Princess Annalies has lost her homeland, her fortune, and her place in the world. Brilliant attorney Rhys Davies needs a wife to advance his career, but the outspoken princess is the last woman he should want…and the only one he cannot forget.
Filled with scandal, passion, danger, and hard-won happily-ever-afters, The Scandalous Sirens Omnibus collects the complete Victorian romance trilogy in one volume.
Includes:
- Forbidden
- Dangerous Beauty
- Perilous Princess

Praise for the Scandalous Sirens Omnibus:
Highly recommend this read.
More great stories from Tracy Cooper-Posey.
If you enjoy Victorian romances, this collection is for you.
I’ve read many works by Cooper-Posey, but this was my first exposure to Templeton. I will be checking out other works by this author.
In addition to the great plots, I especially enjoyed the intertwining of the main characters from one book to the next. Not just as cameos, but as integral parts of the story development.

And if a five-pound historical-romance doorstop with sprayed edges and silver gilt happens to be your idea of a good time…
You and I are clearly going to get along just fine.
