A Dog in a Doublet Page 30
“See, Harry,” she whispered as she came to stand at his side, staring up at him from under thick dark lashes with a flirtatious expression, and looking most dreadfully smug too. “I told you I’d get you in the end.”
Harry took her hand and raised it to his lips. “You always get what you want in the end, my love,” he said, grinning at her and shaking his head “Believe me, I know it, and I’ve never been more grateful for anything.”

The Regency Romance Mysteries Book 3
Lady Keziah Todd is bored to death.
Surely the daughter of a Viscount, even an impoverished one, ought to be able to live a little? But her father, Lord Rennard, is a tyrant, and one that is hard to thwart as he harshly restricts Keziah’s society.
But when Keziah learns of her father’s plans to marry the recently widowed and fabulously wealthy, Lady Ashwicke, it doesn’t take the lovely Lady Todd long to figure out that the woman’s only son, Ash - the new Duke of Chartley, is a fly in her father’s ointment.
Ash might be a pink of the ton, but feisty Keziah believes he has more hair than wit and is no match for her cunning father. Deciding that saving a Duke’s life ought to be adventure enough for any young woman, Keziah takes a risk, and Ash’s life in her hands.

About Me!
I started this incredible journey way back in 2010 with The Key to Erebus but didn’t summon the courage to hit publish until October 2012. For anyone who’s done it, you’ll know publishing your first title is a terribly scary thing! I still get butterflies on the morning a new title releases but the terror has subsided at least. Now I just live in dread of the day my daughters are old enough to read them.
The horror! (On both sides I suspect.)
2017 marked the year that I made my first foray into Historical Romance and the world of the Regency Romance, and my word what a year! I was delighted by the response to this series and can’t wait to add more titles. Paranormal Romance readers need not despair however as there is much more to come there too. Writing has become an addiction and as soon as one book is over I’m hugely excited to start the next so you can expect plenty more in the future.
As many of my works reflect I am greatly influenced by the beautiful French countryside in which I live. I’ve been here in the South West for the past twenty years though I was born and raised in England. My three gorgeous girls are all bilingual and the youngest who is only six, is showing signs of following in my footsteps after producing The Lonely Princess all by herself.
I’m told book two is coming soon ...
She’s keeping me on my toes, so I’d better get cracking!

Rogues & Gentlemen Book 1
1815
Along the wild and untamed coast of Cornwall, smuggling is not only a way of life, but a means of survival.
Henrietta Morton knows well to look the other way when the free trading ‘gentlemen’ are at work. Yet when a notorious pirate, known as The Rogue, bursts in on her in the village shop, she takes things one step further.
Bewitched by a pair of wicked blue eyes, in a moment of insanity she hides the handsome fugitive from the local Militia. Her reward is a kiss that she just cannot forget. But in his haste to escape with his life, her pirate drops a letter, inadvertently giving Henri incriminating information about the man she just helped free.
When her father gives her hand in marriage to a wealthy and villainous nobleman in return for the payment of his debts, Henri becomes desperate.
Blackmailing a pirate may be her only hope for freedom.

Taken away as a small child, from a life where vampires, the Fae, and other mythical creatures are real and treacherous, the beautiful young witch, Jéhenne Corbeaux is totally unprepared when she returns to rural France to live with her eccentric Grandmother.
Thrown headlong into a world she knows nothing about she seeks to learn the truth about herself, uncovering secrets more shocking than anything she could ever have imagined and finding that she is by no means powerless to protect the ones she loves.
Despite her Gran’s dire warnings, she is inexorably drawn to the dark and terrifying figure of Corvus, an ancient vampire and master of the vast Albinus family.
Jéhenne is about to find her answers and discover that, not only is Corvus far more dangerous than she could ever imagine, but that he holds much more than the key to her heart …
