Never Marry a Scandalous Duke has a cover!!! I love the red dress and the fact that the cover artist added a butterfly on Sara’s hand, which is perfect since she is an entomologist who studies butterflies.

Never Kiss a Notorious Marquess is on sale for a limited time for.99¢! 

Secrets can destroy…
For James Trent, Lord Huntington, there’s no escaping the question that labeled him The Murdering Marquess: was his wife’s death a tragic accident or a cold-blooded crime? He’s avoided London’s gossipmongers since that terrible night, as guardian to his younger siblings on his Essex estate. But trouble finds him when a veiled temptress with secrets of her own falls—quite literally—into his arms.

Caroline Lawrence doesn’t need a man to rescue her—the aspiring journalist anonymously advocates for women’s rights in a radical London newspaper column. But when a suffragist’s soapbox speech turns to pandemonium, Caroline is knocked on the head and reawakens in Trent Hall—with the notorious lord of the manor irresistibly close. If there is any truth to his tarnished past, she should denounce him with her powerful pen. Yet love has a way of revealing a man’s true character.

Historical Romance Cookie Hop 2020

Blog
Published on

Are you interested in gathering some new cookie recipes, learning about holiday traditions, along with the chance to win a $150 Gift Card? Well, do I have an event for you! I’m one of the authors participating in the Historical Romance Cookie Hop. I have a short post on the Victorian Christmas tree and a sweet cookie recipe that can be made not only during the holidays but throughout the year.

The Victorian Christmas Tree

By the end of the 19th century, the Christmas holiday had become one of the most celebrated in Victorian England. The tradition of having a Christmas tree became more popular thanks in part to Queen Victoria’s husband, Albert, who was from Germany where indoor Christmas trees are said to have originated. The trees would be decorated with everything from sweet candy treats to costly glass ornaments. Some even placed candles on them, which is where the tradition of stringing electric lights on a tree comes from. In my Victorian Christmas novella, The Taming of Lord Scrooge, Eve hangs homemade ornaments on her Christmas tree. If you’re interested in reading my novella it is currently on sale this week at several online retailers for .99¢.

Cover for Never Mix Sin with Pleasure!

Blog
Published on

I’m thrilled to share the cover for my upcoming release, Never Mix Sin with Pleasure! 

With the proper calculations, even a reckless rake and a secretly infamous woman can find a love they can count on . . .

No one would ever guess that Olivia Michaels, companion to an elderly dowager, is really the thief the London newspapers have nicknamed the Phantom. Working in a nobleman’s home is the perfect guise to gather information, allowing her to exact her own justice on several wicked noblemen. But when the dowager’s grandson, notorious ne’er-do-well Lord Anthony Trent, requires her assistance with some tasks of his own, Olivia discovers that the charming rogue may be capable of stealing something himself—her heart . . .

Anthony has his own secret: Numbers get jumbled in his head. He’s cultivated his reckless reputation as a way to avoid dealing with his family’s businesses. Yet as obligations fall on him, he’s determined to prove his worth, and Olivia’s genius for numbers is a boon he hadn’t expected. But as the pair pore over ledgers together each evening, their connection blooms into a heated flirtation that threatens to expose the secrets each of them has been hiding . . .

Can desire and deception ever add up to true love?

He’s promised to help her catch the man that she wants, but can she trust him?

He leaned close. “You know, the best way to snag a man is to make him realize you are a prize catch. Especially a man like Fernbridge who enjoys the hunt. You are going about this the wrong way, darling. If you seem too readily available, he’s less apt to be interested.”

She frowned. What was he saying? That she could win Fernbridge’s eye if he thought someone else was also vying for her hand? Surely, Ralston didn’t mean he was willing to play the role of a gallant suitor to make Fernbridge more interested. “Are you offering to play the faux competition?”

Ralston cringed as if the idea were distasteful; then a slow smile lifted one corner of his mouth. “Why not? It might be entertaining. Yes, I’ll sacrifice myself for the good of the cause.”

“Sacrifice? I always thought you a smooth talker. Now I’m wondering what draws women to you like bees to a single flower in a field of dried grass.”

As they reached the dance floor, he set his warm hand to her back and pulled her close. As he spun her into the flow of those moving in tandem to the music, he whispered, “It’s not the way I talk to a woman, darling. It’s something much more wicked.”
