This is the first book in my brand new series, Her Majesty’s Rebels, which follows the three brilliant young women who run King & Co., London’s most exclusive investigative agency. Think of them as a Regency-era version of Charlie’s Angels. . .

The heroine of this first book is Tess, and I can’t WAIT for you to read about her disastrous first wedding night to an old duke (which leaves her a very rich, but still-virginal widow.) When she makes a scandalous second marriage of convenience with the NEW Duke, sexy but cynical shipping magnate Justin Thornton, sparks fly! Add in a plot to save the Princess Royal from being blackmailed, a cute dog, a VERY sexy carriage scene, and a pearl necklace used in a most disgraceful manner, and you’re in for an excellent steamy romantic adventure.

Publishers’ Weekly says: “The lovers’ banter crackles and their sexual chemistry burns up the pages”, and who am I to argue with that?!

I’m SO excited to share with you the cover reveal for my new novella, Desert Island Duke! Isn’t it gorgeous? My cover designer Holly did a fantastic job on this one.

Desert Island Duke is a steamy spin-off in my Ruthless Rivals Series. If you’ve read A Wicked Game, then you might have noticed a mention of the three ‘lost’ Montgomery girls. Well, Desert Island Duke introduces you to the first of these intrepid hellions, Caroline ‘Caro’ Montgomery. She’s shipwrecked on a tropical island with her brother’s best friend, the irritatingly handsome Max Cavendish— who seems to have forgotten he’s a Duke…oops! Caro’s certainly not going to remind him. . .

Desert Island Duke will release in ONE MONTH, on Friday 19th May, but it’s available to preorder right now for the bargain price of $2.99 (or equivalent worldwide).

You can pre-order the e-book here from all the major retailers: https://books2read.com/DesertIslandDuke

Hooray! It’s release day! Orchids and Mistletoe is a fun little novella in my Secrets and Spies series, featuring Kit, the spy who was rescued in A Raven’s Heart. Find out what happens when a deathbed promise forces this reclusive ex-spy to spend Christmas alone with a beautiful botanist. . .

(Hint: it involves Orchids, Mistletoe. Snow. And stolen clothes!)

Reclusive ex-spy Christopher ‘Kit’ Carlisle has barely left his country estate since his escape from wartime captivity, but a deathbed promise has forced him to London to seek out the beautiful—and elusive—Emma Townsend.

Botanist Emma is back from Brazil, determined to keep her precious orchids alive long enough to present them to the Royal Society. For that she needs a hothouse, and the assistance of the one man who’s always made her heart beat faster: the broodingly handsome Kit.

When Kit reluctantly agrees to allow Emma—and her plants—to spend Christmas with him at his country estate, the attraction simmering between them is hard to deny. In Emma’s company, grouchy Kit rediscovers the joy of being alive, while Emma can’t resist the impulse to make Kit smile again—or to steal his clothes while he’s bathing . . .

NB: This sweet addition to the Secrets & Spies series features the ‘best friend’s sister’ trope, with hints of Beauty and the Beast.

I’m thrilled to be celebrating my brand new release, A Daring Pursuit! If you like the enemies-to-lovers trope, this one’s for you!

“Sleeping with the enemy has never been such fun . . .”

I had a great time writing this delicious enemies-with-benefits romance and I’m SO looking forward to hearing what you think of Carys and Tristan. Carys is definitely my most outrageous heroine to date and when her fiery rebelliousness clashes with Tristan’s cool-as-ice exterior, sparks really start to fly! These two opposites make a scandalous enemies-with-benefits bargain, both convinced they’re immune to love (if not to passion). But don’t worry – they both discover how wrong they’ve been by the end of the adventure . . .

“Hands down my favorite book of the year! That is BOLD, I know, but absolutely this is my historical ‘Hating Game’ and it was perfect and lovely and hot and I want to be reading it forever!” – Hannah B, Goodreads reviewer.

The Davies and Montgomery families have been locked in an ancient feud. But it’s a thin line between love and hate….
Two enemies
Carys Davies is doing everything in her power to avoid marriage. Staying single is the only way to hide the secret that could ruin her – and her family – if it was revealed. For the past two seasons, she’s scandalized the ton with her outrageous outfits and brazen ways in a futile bid to deter potential suitors. Outwardly confident and carefree, inside she’s disillusioned with both men and love. There’s only one person who’s never bought her act – the only man who makes her heart race: Tristan Montgomery, one of her family’s greatest rivals.
One scandalous bargain
Wickedly proper architect Tristan needs a respectable woman to wed, but he’s never stopped wanting bold, redheaded Carys. When she mockingly challenges him to show her what she’s missing by not getting married, Tristan shocks them both by accepting her indecent proposal: one week of clandestine meetings, after which they’ll go their separate ways. But kissing each other is almost as much fun as arguing, and their affair burns hotter than either of them expects. When they find themselves embroiled in a treasonous plot, can they trust each other with their hearts, their secrets…and their lives?
