Hello and thanks for stopping by!

 

I write Regency-era historical romances and contemporary romantic comedies—two very different types of books, but both contain my favorite elements of love, romance, and laughter.  I hope you enjoy looking around and finding out more about my books.

 

    I'm attending the Romance Writers of America conference July 30 through August 2, 2008 in San Francisco. The Literacy Book Signing will be held Wednesday July 30 from 5:30 until 7:30.  Please come to this wonderful event where over 450 romance-fiction authors will sign books donated by publishers, with the proceeds going to Literacy charities. Address: San Francisco Marriott, 55 Fourth St.,  (415)-896-1600. I hope to see you there!

A proper young lady stranded at a remote inn...

 

 

Four heroines will come face-to-face with the men who got away...only to discover that, instead of anger, there is a passionate connection that cannot be denied.

Carolyn Turner, Viscountess Wingate, is shocked by the Ladies Literary Society of London's latest selection. Memoirs of a Mistress is scandalously explicit and it's stirring feelings within Carolyn that she hasn't felt . . . well, ever! She's sure that this steamy read is the only reason she's succumbing to the charms of notorious rogue Daniel Sutton, Lord Surbrooke. She couldn't possibly be falling for his illicit caresses . . . or could she?

The last thing Daniel wanted was to be shackled by marriage vows. He lusted after Carolyn, but never imagined that once he lured her to his bed he'd never want to let her go. Yet when a murderer targets his beloved, all his plans go awry.
