About the Book

Starting over is never easy but letting go might prove impossible for this pair.

After disappearing nearly two years ago, Lady Laura Sweet has returned to Ravenswood Palace, home of her estranged husband. The place where she suffered his neglect, as well as emotional and physical abuse at the hands of his late father the duke. Laura has only come home to demand a divorce from her husband, but his brother, the new Duke of Ravenswood, is determined to make things difficult and demands they thrash out the failures of their marriage for his benefit.

Nash Sweet spent years under the thumb of his cruel, evil father. Even in death, the man is proving hard to shake, and Nash is only now discovering all the ways the old duke interfered in his marital affairs. But that doesn’t mean he forgives his wife for abandoning their sons and forsaking their marriage—especially when she returns bearing an infant daughter he knew nothing about! Nash is equally willing to discuss divorce, but with proximity comes the resurrection of old feelings…and perhaps some new ones he was not prepared for.

Surrender Becomes Her is the fourth steamy regency romance novel in the Scandalous Brides series.

New Scandalous Brides

It’s almost time to release the new Scandalous Brides novel! Surrender Becomes Her is the fourth novel in the series and its best to have read the others first. Nash and Laura presented quite a challenge as an already separated married couple, but I can’t wait to share this one with you. I’ve put my characters through the wringer this time, Algernon helped a lot, but it was so worth it in the end. I hope you’ll add it to your to be read list.

Goodbye 2024

Goodbye 2024. A wrap up of books published that year.

Goodbye 2024. You were not always fun and a lot of hard work, especially emotionally, and your time is up.

There was writing done but I had a lot of down days too dealing with the aftermath of losing my mother and accepting the grief that will never go away.

On the writing front, I did less than my original plan, of course. No Ordinary Lady, the last Distinguished Rogues novel, came out in March (just after my mother passed) and I didn’t have the energy to promote it. I hope you heard about it and found some joy in the story.

Later in the year I began, and even finished a few, shorter works which suited my diminished attention span better. Miss Kimble Bites Back released in September. Once Tempted was published in the Snowflakes and Scandals Anthology which came out in November and I offered up an exclusive and new short story, Remember Me, for newsletter subscribers to devour along with some bonus epilogues.

I took a trip to Adelaide for a writers conference and caught up with the awesome Tamara Gill and her hubby. Adelaide, and particularly Glenelg, is a place I could happy relocate to one day. Such a cool laid back vibe. I need more of that in my life. LOL So Goodbye 2024. I hope to never have another year like you again.

Looking ahead. I have big plans for 2025. Most of which is not set in stone just yet but I hope you’ll stick around to read my upcoming books. My first release for 2025 will be Surrender Becomes Her on February 25. If you’re looking for me on social media, I will only be posting on BlueSky. Have had enough of Facebook hiding my posts.

How was your year?

Christmas Day is done

Christmas Day is done santa and toys image

Well, the pressies have been handed out, we’ve eaten too much which means Christmas Day is done in my neck of the woods for another year. (Not that I live in the woods). It was a quiet but really enjoyable day with my family. Not to hot, not too cold. Wishing my readers, author pals and future friends the very best for Christmas this year.

Merry Christmas to you all.

No more drama?

I was reminded this week that the southern Winter Solstice is almost here and that means 2024 is nearly half over. I’m not unhappy about that. The first half of the year has been too much for me. I’m craving a return to normal life where distractions are fewer. Write, release the book, go camping and then start a new book. I vote for no more drama unless it’s in my fiction!

Speaking of My Upcoming Fiction…

Since the demands on my time have been higher than normal lately, my attention span has suffered and I won’t have a new release until September. But I have four works in progress with different final length goals. Mostly standalone stories and one novel for the Scandalous Brides series. Shorter stories are easier on my overwhelmed brain and quicker to finish though so I’m enjoying them a lot more than working on the novel.

I have two nearly finished stories requiring the completion of edits and they will release later this year: one is Miss Kimble Bites Back and the other is for a Christmas Anthology (more on that soon) that I hope you will love.

Amazingly, I have one completed story ready to publish too…only its for an unannounced 2025 anthology. Looking forward to learning when the pre-order begins for that one.

I’m closing in on 60 published romances too. I never imagined writing so many when I started but I don’t imagine many authors ever do. I am blessed to have such an active imagination I think, and I hope they are still bringing joy and a good distraction to my readers.

WeWriWa #32: No Ordinary Lady

Welcome and Happy Sunday. Each week I’ve been sharing 10 sentence snippets from my upcoming release, No Ordinary Lady, and it’s time for another post for WeWriWa blog hop post. I switched to my heroine’s (Marian Trill) POV last week and will continue for a few more weeks.

If you missed last week, you can find that post here. Enjoy!

WeWriWa #32 Excerpt…

“I would have thought with the way his valet carried on about the shabby state of the inn that his master would have carried more upon him.” Uncle pursed his lips and glanced over at Billy. “Are you sure this is all of it, boy?”

Billy nodded vigorously and inched toward Marian, so she spoke for him. “He never felt a thing.”

Beatrice chortled. “Maybe he enjoyed having a strange little boy hold on to him for so long. Maybe Billy should run back and try again.”

Billy leaned harder into her side, and Marian put her arm about him. Beatrice could be cruel toward Billy and Marian scowled at Beatrice. “Leave him be.”

Thanks so much for reading my excerpt.

WeWriWa #32


WeWriWa #32
No Ordinary Lady
Distinguished Rogues #20

She’s nothing but a common thief…and her next target is the Earl of Scarsdale’s heart.

Orphaned as a child and left in her uncle’s care, Marian Trill has known only a life of crime. Criss-crossing the countryside, she aids her uncle and his small troupe of thieves in conning well-to-do travelers…until one handsome mark catches her eye. Marian has no business betraying her only family for this gentleman’s safety…just as she has no business following Danny all the way to his country estate to return a valuable ring he left behind.

Daniel, Earl of Scarsdale, is returning home after years of avoiding the inevitable—marrying his neighbor’s daughter. He’d hoped to wed for love, but having failed at that venture, it’s time he took his duties seriously, even if it means settling for a woman more to his mother’s liking than his own. He didn’t count on the beguiling thief he met on the road following him home—nor on his scheming granny inviting her to stay as her companion.

 

No Ordinary Lady is a steamy regency romance novel.
