Lord Castleford's Fortunate Folly

2019

Sometimes fate needs the hand of fortune… Lord Jonathan Castleford wasn’t looking for romance on the road to Cornwall. He just wanted to get the journey over with and return to London, content with his rakish life as the second son of the Earl of Vellerman. But a chance encounter with a fortune teller by the name of Madame Zeta would change all that. She tells him about The Path of Life, never knowing that his journey would lead him to a certain woman… And destiny requires a little help. Miss Fanny Grouseman is content selling vegetables at the local marketplace. She knows that she might never find love in such a small town, but she is happy to remain with her parents and two sisters in their modest cottage. When she meets the infuriating guest of the village squire, everything changes. Not only is she prevailed upon to make sure Lord Castleford doesn’t learn of the town’s rather secret dealings on the coast, but she has to suffer dance lessons with him as her tutor! It isn’t long until Fanny begins to see that Jonathan isn’t quite as horrible as he first appeared, but just because she might start growing fond of the handsome man doesn’t mean that anything might ever come of it.

Is she traveling with a handsome devil or an angel? Will he be her savior or her ruin?

Their search brings them to the famed fortune teller, Madame Zeta, who holds the key to Kate’s past. But when Kate’s fate intertwines with Madame Zeta’s, nothing will ever be the same.

Married to the same man for over 25 years, I am a mother to three children and two Miniature Wiener dogs. After owning a business and experiencing considerable success, my husband and I got caught in the financial crisis and lost everything in 2008; our business, our home, even our car. At this point, I put my B.A. in Poly Sci to use and took work as a waitress and bartender (Insert irony). Unwilling to give up on a professional life, I simultaneously went back to college and obtained a degree in Energy Management. And then the energy market dropped off. And then my dog died. I can only be grateful for this series of unfortunate events, for, with nothing to lose and completely demoralized, I sat down and began to write the romance novels which had until then, existed only my imagination. After publishing over twenty novels now, with one having been nominated for RWA’s Distinguished ™RITA Award in 2019, I am happy to tell you that I have finally found my place in life.
