Historical Romance

Suspense and humor has never been so sexy as it is in a historical romance. My novels, typically set in regency era England and Scotland, are heavily researched to endow the setting with real historical references to put my stories in perspective. See below for information on my completed novels, which are currently in need of representation, and my novels in development I have also listed my novel currently in progress and information on another novel in the planning stages.

Completed Novels

Victoria and the Viscount

Like a porcelain doll carefully positioned for all to admire, Lady Victoria Valmore is caught in the ton trap. Imprisoned by her social standing and royal connections, her passionate nature, which yearns for freedom and love, is packed neatly away by the constant companions that warden her behavior and crowd her life. All seems as it should be, when Nate Livingston—fresh from war and healing from a family tragedy—seizes a chance meeting with the only woman he has ever loved, Victoria, and his words leave a figurative crack on her carefully crafted façade that is exacerbated by her parents untimely death. Confused by the maelstrom of emotions she is constantly working to keep in check, Victoria fatefully investigates her parents’ death, and she starts by staging an elaborate kidnapping that leaves her half-naked and pulling hesitantly from Nate’s arms and leaves London turned on its ear.

The mystery of her parents’ death is deepened with the appearance of a 42-karat blue diamond cursed by the Queen of Sheba, two merchant ships operating on illegal trade routes, and Count Molinero—her father’s sadistic and evil enemy. Nate finally catches up with her and attempts to woo her from her mission, first with his words and then with his lean, hard body. Determined to keep her safe, he stands by her, despite Victoria’s headlong rush into dangerous territory that quickly becomes treacherous and lost, taking from her everything that she holds dear and leaving her damning her rush to flee the life she once knew.

Alone and thrown from pedestal to cage, Victoria finally begins to understand what really matters in life, and her porcelain cocoon is shattered, leaving behind a woman who learns from regret and who understands what it means to love and be loved. A strange and unforeseen event gives Victoria a chance to regain what she has lost. If she is brave enough to face an old, vengeful enemy and clever enough to outwit him, she and Nate may yet have the opportunity to explore the thrill of passion and the joy of love.

How to Woo a Wife
How to Woo a Wife chronicles a rakish hero’s exploits in wooing his neglected wife amid a villainous scheme to divide them forever. Despite its historical setting, the novel explores important themes around the power of love, family, friendship, and choice—specifically, the deliberate and courageous choices women and men must make to live the life they want to live and to face and recover from heartache, grief, and tragedy.

Set in 1815 regency era England and Scotland, when men ran the world and women were little more than chattels, Susan Gray stands apart as a forward-thinking lady with a gift for managing estates and difficult men. Married by proxy four years earlier to Luke Gray, a soldier fighting against Napoleon’s army, the two have never met. When the war ends, a grieving Luke rejects returning home in favor of carousing with women as he waits for death to reunite him with his friends, whom he lost in the war. A neglected and bitter Susan, desperately ready for a child, searches for and finds him in the arms of three women. Furious—and convinced she’s married a rake—Susan takes Luke hostage. Luke, now wildly interested in his bold and beautiful wife, is only too willing to go with her and sets out on wooing her for life. 
 
Throughout Susan’s distant cousin Bertram, a rotter if ever there was one, strives to kill Luke so he can marry Susan for himself and regain an inheritance that her father took from him, and when that fails, he has Luke imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. When Bertram’s past sins catch up with him, he ultimately blames Luke and Susan for his ruination. With nothing else to lose, he forces Susan to make a decision no woman should have to make in order to save Luke. Only a woman as strong as Susan and a man who can love as completely as Luke can overcome the tragedy and move forward into a future they have created together with love and laughter.

The Devil Learns To Love

Lady Bree Taft embodies the indomitable spirit of American freedom and independence. Lord Christian Cavendish, the Duke of Devonshire, embodies the corrupt, lazy, selfish, scandalous, and incorrigible lifestyle of the darker side of the ton—or does he? When the two meet, sparks fly as principles clash and personal beliefs duel for dominance. Yet, circumstances force them to seek a common goal, and by working together they find that both can bend—and often in ways they never would have imagined!
