Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Belgrade, the Duke of Essex, has attempted for years to restore the Belgrade family name, after his mother ran off with the family butler ten years ago, and his father lost himself in drink and ladies of the theatre, before then dying of the former. To add to the scandal, five years ago Andrew’s only sister, Elena, eloped with a man she had only known for a week. But at least she had chosen to remain in Scotland with her husband after the wedding, rather than bring that scandal back to London. As a result, Andrew holds himself aloof from all possibility of scandal. He does so by choosing his friends carefully and otherwise remaining aloof from Society and any romantic involvements. He is suitably saddened when he receives a letter from a Miss Catriona McGregor, informing him that his sister, and Miss McGregor’s brother, have both been killed in a boating accident. He is shocked when Miss McGregor then adds that the custody of the couple’s four-year-old son, Malcolm, now lies with him. Cat has no idea what to make of the aloof gentleman who arrives in Scotland claiming to be the brother of her now deceased sister-in-law, Elena. Oh Andrew Belgrade, the Duke of Essex is aristocratic enough to bear that title, but he is also cold and arrogant. To such a degree Cat resists relinquishing her nephew, Malcolm, into his guardianship. The last thing Cat expects is to feel attracted to this coldly distant gentleman. Or for him, albeit reluctantly, to return that attraction…

After which, Olivia is to go and live quietly at the family’s country estate in the wilds of Yorkshire, well away from London Society, and any possibility of her unmarried status ruining her two younger sisters’ future chances of a betrothal and marriage.

Quite what Gideon is to do with that young woman, once she is residing in his household with him, he has no idea.

Lily, and five of her friends all suffered through the previous London Season together. One thing they are now all agreed upon, as they are forced to attend a second Season, is that the gentlemen of the ton are invariably arrogant, conceited, and far too full of themselves and their own comfort to be in the least attentive to even the basic needs of a wife. As such, these six young ladies have formed an alliance, one in which they have agreed none of them will ever marry. Accepting a dare from the arrogantly superior Gabriel Lord, the Duke of St Albans, in which he challenges Lily’s decision by questioning her ability to resist his seduction, is the very last thing Lily should do. Most especially when the duke also declares that the victor shall choose their prize, when the time comes. Because Gabriel Lord has never lost a wager or a dare in his life. Gabriel knows, the moment he sets eyes on Lady Lily Tremayne, that she is meant to be his. But not only is she eighteen years his junior, but he also learns Lily is determined she will never succumb to feeling love or desire for any gentleman in Society. A battle of wills is about to commence!

At only two hundred years old, Vaugh is the youngest of the seven Romanov dragon-shifter brothers. He almost died three months ago when he was unexpectedly attacked by a dragon hunter. Having previously been the most laid-back of the Romanov brothers the attack has changed him. He’s no longer the easy-going charmer he used to be but has become introspective and taciturn. It’s this newfound impatience which makes Vaughn reluctant to travel to London to act as bodyguard to one of Russia’s principal ballet dancers. He’ll go, of course, because none of his brothers are available to do so, but that doesn’t mean he has to like babysitting Anastasia Chenkova. Until he meets her and realizes she’s his fated mate. Anastasia had never set foot outside of Russia before embarking on this world tour three months ago with The Turov Ballet Company. It isn’t anything like she’d thought it would be. Their stays in different cities around the world are brief, and with the demands of rehearsals and performances there isn’t any time for her to visit some of the wonders of those cities she had previously only seen in photographs but had long dreamed of visiting. Worse, she has acquired a stalker, one who leaves gifts in her dressing room and hotel suite. How or when he manages to gain access, to the theatre or her hotel room, is a mystery. But the cards accompanying the flowers are becoming more and more demanding of her attention. The company director is concerned enough by them that he no longer considers their own security to be enough and has called in someone from outside. The blond-haired Vaughn Romanov is six and a half feet tall and ruggedly handsome, and in spite of his gruff nature, Anastasia find herself attracted to his good looks and all those defined muscles. It’s an attraction Vaughn doesn’t seem able to resist either. But Anastasia senses Vaughn is hiding something, she just has no idea it’s a secret that will change her previous perspective of the world and challenge every one of her dreams for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: VIKTOR (Russian Dragon Heat 3) is the third book in the Amazon #1 Russian Dragon Heat paranormal series. These stories have passion and danger, with the occasional visit from characters in my previous dragon shifter series, Dragon Hearts. As a 600-year-old Russian dragon shifter, Viktor has accepted his fate is to be alone until he reaches the end of his very long life. At least he had, until two of his brothers recently found their fated mates. Still, he was only flying over the island that day on his way to somewhere else, before he sensed her. His fated mate, the one woman meant for him. She was down there, on an island he discovered was full of myth and legend, with a history of wrecked Viking ships, and a bridge where the locals waved to the fairies ‘for luck’ as they passed over it and visitors made wishes. A land from which, when Viktor landed as dragon on the top of the island’s only mountain, he was able to see the Seven Kingdom of this Isle of Man. The island itself. Scotland. Ireland. England. Wales. The sky. And lastly the Irish sea, ruled over by the mythical Celtic god, Manannan. Surely if any woman could accept the existence of dragon shifters, could accept him as her mate, it would be one from this unique and magical island?

Most especially so with her role as mistress of her brother’s household, and the endless round of society engagements this forces her to endure. What Thea so badly needs is a secret and passionate lover, to become mistress of another kind entirely, and so add excitement and spice into her humdrum life. But where is she to find this handsome and inexhaustible gentleman? Julian Remington, the arrogant and haughty 17th Duke of Blackmoor has no interest in finding a mistress for his bedroom or his home. He’s jaded, cynical, and distrustful when it comes to women. One woman, a woman from his past, has caused too much grief in his life for him to ever trust another. Thea and Julian are about to be caught up in a passion for each other that blazes so fiercely, and so out of control, it is beyond the power of either of them to resist. The Duke’s Mistress is the story of an arrogant duke and an adventurous young widow, caught up in their insatiable desire for each other, the vengeful woman who would like nothing better than to see Blackmoor suffer as she has suffered, and believes Thea Fitzroy to be the means by which she will achieve it.
