Book excerpt: A sensual tale of mutual shyness and masterful slyness When the painfully shy Baron David Engleston receives an invitation to join a friend for a few days of playing cards and dancing at the Soho Club, he accepts. Given the incessant rain falling on all of England, he may as well spend some time in the capital. He can feel glum there just as well as in Kent—at least until the moment a young lady in a yellow gown appears from the room adjacent to his and asks, "Are you my betrothed?" Miss Marian Copper has come to the Soho Club in the company of her uncle and guardian, the Earl of Penhurst, believing he has arranged a marriage on her behalf. So when she nearly collides with a handsome man at the club, she assumes he's the one, especially when he doesn't hesitate to reply, "Why, yes. Yes I am." Without so much as an introduction, these two embark on one of the shortest betrothals possible. Given the earl's ridiculous terms and conditions, can there be a happily ever after in their future? Well, this is the Soho Club.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: London 1816 Guy Fortescue comes to England to claim his inheritance, Rosecroft Hall, abandoned over thirty years ago when his father fled to France after killing a man in a duel. But England proves to be a dangerous place - someone wants Guy dead. As Guy seeks to discover who lies behind the attacks on his life, he arranges a faux betrothal with Miss Horatia Cavendish. Unfortunately, things don't go according to plan. An aspiring poet, Hetty proves to have a mind of her own but in spite of that, Guy finds her far too alluring. Dangerous.... Headstrong and lovely, Hetty agrees to the betrothal because it allows her to go to London where she can attend literary societies with her aunt. While her affection for Guy grows deeper, she must not forget the betrothal isn't real. Guy will choose a bride from the beau monde - it will not be a colonel's daughter from Digswell. But Hetty is soon drawn in to Guy's life, more and more, and not entirely against her will. He is handsome and brave, and the attraction between them is undeniable. Soon, she can no longer resist her desire for him and the fact that someone is out to kill him only feeds her innate protectiveness of the man she is betrothed to. As attempts are made on Guy's life, Hetty and his sister, Genevieve, work together to keep him alive, and a love that has been denied finally comes to fruition in the exciting conclusion.

Book excerpt: This book was formerly titled ABSOLUTE SURRENDER (no other changes have been made) Happiness was always too much for Lady Amelia to hope for. Now all she expects is to secure her future and marry the Duke of Castleberry, as arranged. But Amelia has a dangerous secret that could not only destroy her in his eyes and the eyes of society, but could also very well condemn her to Bedlam. Baron Endsleigh, Amelia's oldest friend, has other ideas. Ender has loved Amelia all his life. He knows her secrets, and they don't frighten him. He plans to come between Amelia and Charles in any way he can to prevent the marriage and finally claim Amelia for his own. Ender is determined and nothing can stop him. Not even a duke as powerful as Castleberry. That duke has hated Baron Endsleigh and wanted Amelia for, what seems to him, forever. Charles will stop at nothing to make her his, and his alone, even if that means destroying the one thing he knows she loves most in this world-Endsleigh. Will Amelia be able to choose when one man speaks to her mind and the other her heart? None of them will find happiness until they all three learn to embrace the absolute surrender. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************THE BOOKS IN THE LORDS OF TIME SERIES: THE RAKE AND THE RECLUSE : BOOK ONE in the Lords of Time SeriesAVAILABLE NOWTHE DUKE AND THE DOMINA : BOOK TWO in the Lords of Time SeriesAVAILABLE NOW for PREORDERRelease date: May 4th 2015THE DUKE AND THE BARON : a Lords of Time companion novel AVAILABLE NOWABSOLUTE SURRENDER has been nominated for BEST HISTORICAL and BEST MÉNAGE in the 2014 in the BOOKIE awards.
