Important News!!!!

Look for them soon.
A New Book Starts a New Series
I’m thrilled to announce a new series set in my Regency world. The Reluctant Earl is a friends-to-lovers trope with reverse Pygmalion vibe.
Gerren Stafford, a rough seafaring man who likes to wrestle, never expected to become heir to an earldom. Anna Jeffries, a titled lady, has to masquerade as a housekeeper to keep herself hidden from her enemy. Can their attraction survive amid secrets and lies?
This is the first book in my new Heirs and Graces series. Here is the official description:
Gerren Stafford, sailor and Cornish wrestler, ran away to sea when his gentle older brother was taunted and killed in a duel, and vowed never to set foot in his homeland again. When a stranger informs him he is the new Earl of Siltsbury, Gerren reluctantly returns to England with a hidden purpose, and to assume a role for which he is woefully unprepared.
Then he meets Anna.
Anna Jeffries is a baroness who is keeping her aristocratic connections a secret. She uses her new position as Siltsbury housekeeper to hide from her late husband’s successor, a man she suspects arranged her husband’s death and is now threatening her with harm if she “dares to spread her vile rumors.”
Drawn together by friendship, loneliness, and hidden emotional wounds, Anna and Gerren find solace in passion. But can they find an enduring love or are there too many secrets and lies between them?
This book will be available for purchase as soon as rights to the book are transferred to me. Should be soon.

Lily’s Scandalous Secret is a Christmas novella that spins off from the Scandal series. It tells the story of Lily Whittington, Emily Sinclair’s aunt, who first appears in Scandal’s Promise. Here’s the description:
For years widowed artist Lily Whittington has hidden herself away, reluctant to socialize because of a scandalous secret in her past. When her niece persuades her to come to London, she reluctantly agrees only to find herself wooed by Alastair Kinkade, a man she once promised to marry, but reluctantly discarded.
Lily’s instinct is to flee, even when her heart implores her to stay. But it soon will be Christmas, the season of joy and forgiveness, and if she stays the magic of the Mistletoe Ball just might lead to a second chance at love.
Now a stand-alone, this novella first appeared in The Grand Mistletoe Assembly, a Christmas anthology. It will be offered wide and will include a print book.
