While Angels Slept

1139 A.D. – When her husband perishes in a skirmish, the Lady Cantia du Bexley Penden is distraught. Her husband was assisting the mighty Viscount Winterton in the battle for the throne between Empress Matilda and Stephen of Blois, caught, like most men, in a vicious struggle for the rightful ruler of England. Tevin du Reims is Viscount Winterton, a man with a heavy burden to bear and a dreadful secret. A lonely man whose wife left him years ago with a sickly child to raise, he is drawn to the sorrowful Lady Penden and in comforting her, falls in love with her. With her husband so recently killed, Cantia cannot resist the solace offered by the handsome viscount. A fiery passion is borne from grief and loneliness, and soon Tevin and Cantia find themselves in the grip of a powerful romance. But forces are at work against them; Cantia’s father-in –law, driven to madness by the death of his son, plots Cantia’s demise, blaming her for his son’s death. Complicating the issue is Tevin’s cousin, the lecherous Earl of East Anglia, who sets his sights on Cantia as a conquest. In order to protect Cantia, Tevin secretly whisks her from Rochester Castle with the intention of sending her someplace safe. But his altruistic plans come to ruin when Cantia is abducted by outlaws. And so begins the journey. Come along on the adventure of Tevin and Cantia, following them through death and life, through sorrow and hope. It is a tale of a lifetime involving two people with utterly shattered lives who must save each other and restore hope during the dark times of early Medieval England, during a turbulent time when men openly said Christ and his angels slept….

Can a gruff, seasoned knight win over the love of his life in the midst of political chaos? 1215 A.D. - Dashiell "Dash" du Reims is the eldest son of the Earl of East Anglia and a cousin to the great House of de Lohr. Much like his warring and politically-involved cousins, Dashiell is also waist-deep in the political turmoil that is sweeping England at this time. As the Captain of the Guard for the powerful - and senile - Duke of Savernake, his is in the middle of the baron's rebellion against the king. Although his de Lohr cousins have been trying to lure him over into serving Christopher de Lohr, the greatest knight in the realm, Dashiell is reluctant for one very good reason - A woman. Specifically, the duke's youngest daughter, the lovely and sweet Belladonna. With the duke's senility, there is an undercurrent movement from within the family to usurp the duke by two of his ambitious sons-in-laws. As a man with only three daughters, the husbands of the older daughters are plotting to steal the duke's power and his seat, and Dashiell is the only thing that stands between them and the mad duke. He is also the only thing that stands between their wicked intentions towards Belladonna. Nothing will get past Dashiell when it comes to Belladonna, not even men who technically outrank him. He'll fight to the death. Soon enough, the evil husbands are plotting to be rid of Dashiell as well, but not if the powerful de Lohr family has anything to say about it. Enter a world of grand Medieval pagentry, passion, battles, and politics in Dashiell and Belladonna's story, where love is the only thing that truly conquers all and family bonds are the strongest of all. It's an all-out knightfest in this glorious Medieval epic.

Age of Gods and Mortals

2021

A warlord departing for the Third Crusade, his strong-willed wife… and the knight left behind to protect her. At least, that was the plan. It’s an unconventional, unexpected, and completely unapologetic Medieval romance that will sweep you off your feet! At the beginning of the Third Crusade, the French and English Crusading armies assembled in July 1190 at Vezelay. Thousands of Englishmen went for thousands of reasons – piety, glory, or for the thrill of killing. They heeded God’s call, leaving behind a country struggling to deal with the loss of so many able-bodied men. There were a million stories of anguish for every man that left the country. This is one story of those left behind. When Sir Teague d’Mearc heeds King Richard’s call and departs with his army for the ships in London that will take them to Vezelay, his wife, Lady Tresta, is determined to follow him. Risking her neck, she trails her husband and his men to London and even manages to make it on board their ship. Once at sea, she knows her husband cannot order her home. But Teague has other plans. Beautiful Tresta is head-strong, stubborn, and determined, but she is no match for Teague’s insistence that she go home and wait for him to return from the Levant. Tresta refuses, so Teague assigns one of his knights to take her home and stay with her. Sir Tarran du Reims in that knight. Robbed of a great adventure to the Holy Land by a stubborn, spoiled woman whom he has secretly been in love with for many years, Tarran obeys his liege and begrudgingly remains behind with a woman he is constantly at odds with. After Teague and his ships depart Calais to continue on their journey to Vezelay, a terrific storm hits. Land and sea are lashed and when the storm finally clears, there are rumors of a great fleet having been scuttled along the coast of Normandy. Hearing the rumors, Tarran is certain that it is Teague’s ships. There is only one way to find out. Join Tarran and Tresta as they go in search of Teague’s fleet and be with them every step of the way as they hunt for the truth. Will they find survivors? Or have the valiant knights with their dreams of glory been consigned to a watery grave ? Through it all, Tarran’s feelings for Tresta continue to grow, but Tresta is only focused on her husband and his fate… leaving Tarran with no way to cure his bruised and bleeding heart. … or can he? In an age of gods and mortals, anything is possible. Note: Age of Gods and Mortals is part of the de Lohr Dynasty/Earls of East Anglia series, but is a stand-alone. No cliff-hanger, guaranteed HEA!
