• A struggling journalist and a gentleman team up to rescue a lady from scandal. This novella is establish in an English village during the Regency era.

• Lush writing, a finely woven plot, and a medieval romance between a wounded viking and a Christian monk make this story a winner in my eyes.

• The first in a trilogy about a charming earl and a cross-dressing Shakespearean actor, set in Elizabeth England - one of my favorite historical periods!

• A slow burn romance based in Cornwall. Apparently i contain a thing for eccentric scientists. I'd been waiting for this one a long time and it was good worth the wait.

• Two men in the French Foreign Legion - one an incorrigible misfit and the other a highly respected commandant - plan a daring prison crack in 1930s Algiers.

• A rollicking pirate adventure set in the Caribbean during the 19th century. This one appeals to my desire to get lost on a deserted island.

• This whirlwind romance spans a few decades in the 20th century. Likable characters and Hollywood scandals make this a great start to a series.
