To kick it off, the first of a three book series - An Earl Unmasked is releasing on January 20th, 2022. You can preorder for 99c or you will be able to read it for FREE in KindleUnlimited.


Lady Diana Malbury is known for her charm and intelligence, why else would she rather solve another one of the late Earl of Chestwick’s word puzzles than entertain potential suitors for the Season?


The old earl presents her with the highest-stake challenge yet…


If she remains unwed for the Season, she can return to his estate next summer and solve the latest puzzle by way of his extensive library, her favorite place in England…


But Randal Wilson, the new Earl of Chestwick, has returned from the war a decorated hero but also wounded and angry. His estate is off-limits to everyone. Why would the Beast of Chestwick allow the mindless fools of society to infiltrate his private world when he has greater things to worry about, like getting back to the war front.


But Diana doesn’t give up easily, and when she meets the earl after trespassing on his land—the two share a brief but soul-awakening kiss.


Suddenly Diana and Randal are forced to rethink their solitary ambitions...love is a riddle that only two hearts can solve together.

FORBIDDEN LOVE


Cecily Nottingham has made a huge mistake.


The marriage bed was still warm when the earl she thought she loved crawled out of it and announced that he loved someone else.


Loves. Someone else.


Cecily was nothing more than a means to an end, that end being her dowry.

With nothing to lose, in an attempt to goad the earl into divorcing her, Cecily sets out to seduce her husband’s cousin, Mr. Nottingham.


Little does she realize that he is everything her husband is not: honorable, loyal, trustworthy…


Handsome as sin.


Stephen Nottingham returned to England for one reason -- to save his cousin’s estate from financial ruin.


Instead, he finds himself tempted by his cousins beautiful and scorned countess.


He isn’t sure what to do first, strangle his cousin, or kiss the cad’s wife.


As the tangle unravels, his honor is put to the test, right along with his self-control.


Amid snakes, duels, and a good catfight, Cecily realizes the game she’s playing has high stakes indeed.


There are only a few ways for a marriage to end in Regency England, and none of them come without a high price. Is she willing to pay it? Is Stephen?


A ‘Happily Ever After’ hangs in the balance, because, yes, love can conquer all, but sometimes it needs a little bit of help.

Some fairy tales begin with love at first sight. This is not one of those tales…


Sophronie Slater had no interest in getting married. Even if she did, the Duke of Waycross would not be her choice. She would, however, do anything for her father. So, in honor of his dying wish to see her legally bound to the contrary, annoyingly handsome Scot who drives her mad, she agrees to a very temporary marriage. She’ll never love him, though. At least, that was the plan…


Evan Gordonstone has no interest in romance. Caring for his relatives and restoring his duchy to profitability is about all he can manage. But if he has any hope of one day realizing his dream of breeding and racing horses, he needs Sophronie. Their arranged marriage will fix all his problems. Assuming he doesn’t fall for his lovely new wife and ruin everything…


Sophronie and Evan are about to find out that opposites can attract in the most unexpected—and sensual—ways. But when all is said and done, can they win each other’s hearts and turn their fake marriage into a real happily ever after?

Gwyneth has a secret mission of her own: prove she’s worthy of joining the Code Breakers, winning the heart of the hard-headed viscount she’s loved since they were children. When her spying uncovers a secret so shocking the enemy would kill for it, she’s thrown head-first into a dangerous world of intrigue and treachery.

Lord Nathaniel “Nash” Trentham, Earl of Wessex, chases Eliza through the snow as she makes off with his most-favored stallion. Nash must now save her, paying no mind to decorum and conventions.


Will Eliza be forced to marry the Earl and give up her passion for horses? Or will they find a compromise?
