Ella Quinn’s intriguing and irresistible bachelors are masters in the game of seduction. But nothing has the power to change a single man’s mind like a captivating woman…
William, Viscount Wivenly, plans to remain the most eligible of bachelors. He refuses to surrender to the schemes of husband-hunting ladies and matchmaking mamas. Fleeing the pressure of the ton, he’s bent on finding refuge in the West Indies. What he finds instead is a fascinating stranger, a woman so unlike those of his society that he can’t resist such a beguiling distraction…
Determined to let nothing complicate her mission to protect her family’s livelihood while covertly rescuing orphaned slave children, Miss Eugénie Villaret does her best to evade suitors. But when dashing William lures her down a path of forbidden adventure and delicious danger, she may be convinced that business can indeed be mixed with pleasure—and persuaded to add passion to her priorities…

(myBook.to/TheIceGoddess) for The Ice Goddess, my debut historical romance!
In the bitter winter of 1752, Evangeline Grey is determined to return to London, claim her inheritance, and lead a solitary, uneventful existence. York holds too many sad memories for her now, and she’s ready to leave it behind.
When she finds out that her guardian has designs on her — and her pending fortune — Evangeline manages to escape, but her journey south is fraught with uncertainty and danger. Mourning the murder of her brother, still reeling from her aunt’s recent death, and close to penniless until she finds her way back to London, she’s never been more alone.
And then, on a desolate Northern English moor, she meets a benevolent stranger who changes everything.
Kendall Beaumont is a man running from a few demons of his own. On his way to his home in remote Almsborough, he stops to help the pretty, young runaway. The future seems fairly bleak for the both of them — until he decides to make her an offer she can’t refuse…
Thank you Ella! I’m looking forward to your release.
My second novel, Warrior’s Surrender, a medieval romance is with my editor at the moment.
Here’s a snippet:
“You picked the wrong night to slit my throat while I slept, princess.”
Sebastian’s whispered voice filled her ear. He held her still for long moments before speaking.
“Are you recovered? You will not scream?”
Frey nodded and shook her head in answer to each question and she was released, her heart pumping furiously.
“Do you suggest I pick some other night then?” she said, wiping her mouth to rid the sensation of his hand.
Sebastian ignored her barb and poured a small measure of spiced wine into his goblet. He handed it to her and watched as she drank.
“Why do you assume the worst of me?” she asked.
“Habit,” he answered, arms folded across his chest. “Now tell me what you’re doing in my chambers while others sleep.”
Congrats, Ella, on the release of Enticing Miss Eugénie Villaret!
The Ice Goddess looks good – I’ll check it out.

— “I have a better idea,” Brandr said. “Come here.”
Eyes the brownish gold of leaves in autumn slewed toward him. Lissa stiffened. “Why? What is it you wish?”
He narrowed his eyes. “Have you forgotten so soon my warning? A thrall has no rights. A thrall is not allowed to question. A thrall obeys instantly or suffers punishment. Come here.”
Alarm flashed in her expression and she swallowed.
He thought she would refuse. A part of him hoped she would, for her small rebellion kindled a familiar need to conquer, to bend her to his will.
Her movements lacking their usual grace, she sidled toward him as if deeming dissent unwise, but wishing otherwise. She stopped an arm’s length away.
“Closer.”
Her lips pursed, but she took one small step forward. His vexation drained away and he almost smiled. She looked like a wary fawn confronted by a large and unknown animal. He touched the sun-pinkened tip of her nose with a fingertip, fascinated by the way it tilted up ever so slightly. Then his gaze dropped to the enticing curves of her mouth. Desire sparked with a suddenness that tore at his breath. Everything vanished except the surge of primal heat that kicked through his body. His hands settled on her shoulders and drew her near, and nearer still until his arms closed to sweep her into the embrace he had wanted from the moment he first saw her. Her face grew flushed and she gasped. He felt the inhalation against his chest and closed his eyes. The heady scent of woman engulfed his senses, igniting the spark into sheets of roaring flames, billowing, cascading, burning. He trembled with the unexpected need that rioted through his veins.
One hand tangled in her short tresses as he cupped her head in his palm. He could not stop staring at the parted fullness of her lips. Their softness beckoned. His head bent in slow descent until their breaths mingled. Flesh touched. She quivered. He slowly rubbed his lips back and forth against hers in the barest of strokes. She panted. He nuzzled her. She leaned into him, the move restless, uncertain. His palm stroked her back from neck to hips.
He lifted his eyes and his gaze first clashed with, then captured hers. Passion blazed, innocent, but heated and powerful, within those golden depths. He stroked her again, and watched the desire build.
She wants me!
Congratulations, Ella, on your new release! Keep them coming.
This blurb is from my next book in the Cotillion Ball Series. It’s called The Duplicitous Debutante, and will be released on Sept. 1.
In 1859, Rosemary Fitzpatrick only wants to continue to write her novels. She doesn’t even care if the praise for her work goes to her pen name and alter ego, Mr. F. P. Elliott. Well, not really. But a new publisher is insisting on meeting each author in person, and her mother is insisting she become a debutante this year.
With no knowledge of how this new publisher will react to a woman author, Rosemary cannot expose herself to him. But when she meets him, she forgets all her well-thought-out plans. He torments her thoughts, she pictures him as the hero in her dime novels. Can she ever trust him enough to tell him who she really is?

Vic wants to participate. Here’s my Humorous Late Victorian Sleuth/Romance novel. THE TROUBLESOME APPRENTICE BY LIZA O’CONNOR
While investigating the death of a friend and client, Maddy Hamilton, Xavier Thorn (reputed to be the greatest sleuth in England) is greatly impressed with Maddy’s nephew, Victor, and offers him a job as his secretary.
Aware of Xavier’s history of firing secretaries, Victor garners a promise that for three months he cannot be fired. Vic then proceeds, in Xavier’s view, to be cheeky and impertinent at every turn. Xavier endures the impudent pup because Victor is most skilled in extracting the truth from clients and intuiting facts with little evidence to assist.
As they solve a string of cases, Xavier discovers a few more important details about his troublesome apprentice, such as her true gender, and the realization that she has awakened his long dormant heart.
