The Caped Countess

2021

By day, Lady Donnatella is a duke’s silly daughter. So she can save London lives by night. When she stumbles into something larger than a street fight, everything she's balancing may come crashing down... It's another lonely season for Tella, dancing and gaming madly while keeping marriage away. She cannot tell her family or friends that her true self is the one battling danger in the city's dark streets. Nor will anyone guess; she's perfected her disguise. Then her night-time alter ego is seen—just when she can no longer count on her best friend, or her beloved great-uncle. And the resulting fuss in the newspapers isn't making any of this easier. Nor is the reporter who saw her. Henry Fitzwilliam, third son of a marquess, left London society to serve in the wars, and won’t go back. He’s devoted his life to telling the stories Britain needs to hear, and perhaps this Caped Count falls into that category. He can’t be sure until he gets much, much closer. Tella can handle a fight, but tracking a murderer is higher stakes. She might need someone at her back. Fitz might be the worst choice—or he might be more perfect than either of them suspects. A new kind of Regency romance, full of action, adventure, and forever love

The Clandestine Countess

2023

Five years of silence. Seeing Bess again is a kick in what’s left of Dan’s soul. She makes a fine ballerina. And actress. And thief. She can be anything… except his. If he can catch one more criminal, he can buy her the life she deserves. She’ll finally be safe, and that’s all he ever wanted. Five years alone. Bess decided long ago her scowling, black-haired boy from London’s gutters must be dead. Now he’s back. With no explanation. She ought to kill him herself. But she fills the void he left by collecting titled admirers. Including one lord in particular who praises all her skills… even the ones that break the law. When Bess finds out her night-time escapades have dropped her in deep, deep trouble, she'll have to pull both herself and Dan out of a pit of intrigue with consequences far beyond London. Their only chance is to remember how to rescue each other.
