Celebrating the month of love with books...

Hello Romance Reader,

Happy Belated Valentines Day...

As many of you know, I love puzzles and I was tickled pink to discover that during the Regency period when public declarations of love were often taboo, Valentine's Day offered a socially acceptable "window" for flirtation, including the gifting of puzzle purses. Not a purse like a ridicule... no a puzzle purse was a a sheet of paper folded into a small square. As the recipient unfolded each layer, it would reveal verses, drawings of hearts, or other symbols of love. I shall have to try and incorporate this tradition in one of my upcoming books - what do you think?

Book news for 2026...

I'm in the midst of a book which will be released by Dragonblade publishing as part of their Lyons Den series. Characters from my Ladies of Risk series have decided to make an appearance, in particular Lady Charlotte and her dear husband.

Not familiar with Lady Charlotte? I'll be sharing her short story each month... click on the link below to read chapters 1 and 2 of Masquerade of the Heart. https://BookHip.com/CAJTBCV
