#1
The Love of a Rake
2015
Eleanor Merriweather is in London for her come-out with a dream to marry her perfect knight. Having been duped by a brothel's madame upon her arrival, she finds herself completely and thoroughly ruined by Charles, Earl of Wakefield. Only twenty-five, he enjoys life far too much to consider marriage, but Eleanor might be the one to change his mind on the matter—except she’s in love with his brother! Since not everyone is who they seem to be, it may take a bit of horse sense for these four to get on the right track in “The Love of a Rake.”
#2
The Caress of a Commander
2016
After eight years in the British Navy, Will Slater returns to London to resume his life as the son of a marquess. He’s determined to discover what’s become of Lady Barbara. An earl’s daughter, she pledged her love on their last night together and now seems to have disappeared from Society. Will’s bastard brother, Stephen, served with him on his last ship and is ready to attend every ball and soirée necessary to earn acceptance in the ton. As the Marquess of Devonville’s son and a dead ringer for his brother, he finds it easier than he should to navigate the choppy waters of aristocratic Society. And why wouldn’t he? All the young ladies think he’s his brother, especially after Will requests that they trade places and then leaves London to search for Barbara! Banished from her father’s home seven years ago, Barbara lives in a ramshackle cottage in Oxfordshire. With little to eat, no prospects, and nothing in the way of income unless she takes up prostitution, her life has become bleak. Although there is one bright spot left in her life, that, too, will dim unless something—or someone—comes to save the day. The last person she expects to do just that is Will Slater. Having written him off when he didn’t write to her during his years at sea, Barbara claims she no longer loves him. How can she when he abandoned her? As Stephen dazzles the debutantes with his easy manners, good humor and demonstrations of delectable kissing—all in his brother’s name—how will he explain himself when one of those young ladies turns out to be one he wants? Trading places has everyone feeling as if they’re just a bit lost at sea in “The Caress of a Commander”.

The Epiphany of an Explorer
2016
If you’re only on a quest to find a rare tree, how can you expect to find your Aphrodite?
When archeologist Alexander, Duke of Westhaven, goes missing while searching for an important Greek artifact, explorer Harold, Earl of Everly, is pressed into service by fellow members of the Royal Society to find him. On his last visit to the island of Delos, Harry was blessed with a visit from a young woman—his very own version of Aphrodite rising from the Aegean Sea to regard him with an arched eyebrow and a simple question that left him so discombobulated, he could barely speak. Born of a Mykonian mother and a British duke, Estelle Jones isn’t particularly comfortable in either world. With her father’s recent disappearance and no prospects for marriage, she may end up stranded on Mykonos, spending her days assisting her uncle in his hunt for Greek treasures he can sell to Europeans. At night, she remembers the bespectacled earl who nearly broke her foot during a waltz back in London. When Harry arrives on Mykonos to begin his hunt for the duke and to begin his own research, he’ll have to learn far more about mythology, antiquities, and Greek goddesses than he cares to know. The search may be worth it, especially if he can find his very own Aphrodite in The Epiphany of an Explorer.
