You’re invited to a Midsummer Wedding! I’ve teamed up with eight of my favorite historical romance authors for this fabulous Midsummer wedding anthology, out today. All nine novellas (split into three volumes) take place at the same summer wedding at the haunted Castle Keyvnor in Cornwall. My tale, ‘A Midsummer Night’s Kiss’, is a fun play on Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. Castle Keyvnor and its gardens are home to some very interfering fairies, pixies and ghosts, including my matchmaking Oberon and Titania, King and Queen of the fairies. They’re determined to see my heroine, Kitty Worth, get her HEA with her brother’s best friend, grouchy war-hero James Cashell, Lord Leighton. But as Shakespeare says, “the course of true love never did run smooth . . .!”

The three volumes in the collaboration are: Dazzled at the Wedding (Kate Pearce, Ava Stone, Nicole Locke) Beguiled at the Wedding (Jane Charles, Virginia Heath, Deb Marlowe) and Breathless at the Wedding (K. C. Bateman, Michelle Willingham, Jerrica Knight-Catania).
Why not pick up all three volumes and be whisked away to a glorious summer celebration? Here are the links.

I’m delighted to have received another wonderful review from Publisher’s Weekly for To Catch An Earl (Bow Street Bachelors #2)

Release date is June 30th, but you can pre-order your copy now!

Here’s the full PW review:

“In Bateman’s sparkling second Bow Street Bachelors Regency (after This Earl of Mine) an elusive thief falls for the investigator seeking her arrest. Emmy Danvers comes from a long line of French jewel thieves but has been content to live a crime-free life in the four years since her father, the notorious Nightjar, died. Then her family starts receiving letters threatening to expose and harm them if they do not surrender all the jewels Emmy’s father stole and steal three more high-profile pieces. Emmy reluctantly takes up her father’s mantel as the Nightjar, hatching a plan to recover the crown jewels of France from the British Museum. Alex Harland, Earl of Melton, works as an agent of inquiry after returning from battle in the continent and is determined to capture the Nightjar. But when his investigation leads him to Emmy, she steals his heart, forcing Alex to decide if he is willing to implicate the woman he loves. Bateman loads her fast-paced heist with fun secret identity hijinks, clever characters, and sizzling romance. Series fans and new readers alike will be thrilled.”
