Her heart belongs to her pen—until a marriage of convenience rewrites her story.

Lady Fortuity Abarough has always been the plain one of the Broadmere sisters, but she never let it bother her. It was always the gossips who took issue with her looks, not her beloved family. And it’s better to know that any suitor would be interested only in her dowry. After all, forewarned is forearmed. Thankfully, her parents’ will grants her the right to marry for love, and she’s steadfast to do just that. And if it never happens? So be it. At least she still has her writing. Yet her brother, Chance, the new Duke of Broadmere, is relentless in pushing her toward the altar. After all, he can’t inherit the full of the estate until all seven sisters are married—happily and in love matches.

When Viscount Matthew Ravenglass, a dear friend and the man she secretly loves, catches her jotting down notes at a ball as research for her stories, her secret is laid bare. In a moment of trust, she confides her lifelong dream of becoming a published author and seeing her name on the title page of her books. Rather than laughing at her as she expected, he offers his help since he is well connected in the publishing industry. Of course, that makes her love him even more.

But their friendship takes an unexpected turn when his meddling cousin sets a trap and leaves them no choice but to marry. Fortuity, however, insists on a marriage in name only. Her heart can’t bear the thought of a union consummated out of duty rather than love. She knows Matthew swore he would never marry after being jilted at the altar by his first love. And how many times has he told her they could never be more than friends? As they navigate this delicate arrangement, Matthew begins to realize his feelings for Fortuity go far beyond friendship. Yet, with returning ghosts of his past and deep-seated trust issues, their journey to happily ever after is fraught with uncertainty.

For readers who cherish tales of unrequited love, hidden desires, and the triumph of the heart, this story of Fortuity and Matthew is a captivating exploration of love, loyalty, and the courage to forge one’s own destiny no matter what Society dictates.

Secret loves… secret crushes… unexpected loves and so much more in this epic anthology!

There’s nothing so glorious as an ancient legend and the promise of love...

Far to the north in England, along the Scottish borders, lies a village full of promise and lore. In the center of this village rests an ancient stone said to have ancient and romantic powers. Some call it Gràdh gaoil - the lovespell. Some have called it the Oathing stone. There are several names for it as oral traditions are passed down and names sometimes forgotten. There was a time when the stone was visible in the center of the village, surrounded by water from the natural spring, but the years came and a well was built around it. It is said if a couple holds hands over the stone on the Epiphany, they are destined to be married. Every year, a midwinter festival is held in celebration of the stone that draws lovers from far and wide.

But the difficulty is in actually coming to the stone for some couples. For others, it is the fear of the unknown, the fear of failure. Some come during the festival, some come at other times of the year. But for all of them, one thing is clear – they greatly desire a love that is legendary and theancient stone is their best hope for a happily ever after!

Time to start a new series!

He doesn’t wed them—he beds them. Except for her. Or so he hopes.

Lady Blessing is about to fill her brother’s bed with frogs. It doesn’t matter that he’s the newest Duke of Broadmere. What matters is that the fool is determined to marry her off as quickly as possible so he can access the entirety of the family’s coffers. She has no interest in marrying. Up until Papa died, she did as she pleased, pursuing her interest in astronomy. But now that mourning for Papa has officially ended, her ridiculous brother insists she spend her nights attending parties instead of studying the skies. 

Lord Thorne Knightwood is a confirmed rake and enjoys other men’s wives—immensely so. He swore off marriage long ago as a guarantee of never becoming like his father. But then he comes upon the incomparable Lady Blessing, a beauty more intent on studying the stars than filling her dance card. This newest darling of the ton tempts him to rethink his future. Except she ignores him. Tells him to go away. No woman ever tells him to go away.

Even though Blessing knows Thorne beds them but never weds them, she finds his persistence and creativity to get her attention impossible to ignore. And he likes cats. Another point in his favor. But just as things become delightful, his past comes crashing in and could prove fatal—not only for their relationship, but for him.

Ronan's story is here! Scottish Romantasy, Fated mates, Strangers to lovers, Meddling gods, and Time travel!

He’s a fifteenth century Highlander pirate.

She’s a twenty-first century girl who just got jilted at the altar.

What could they possibly have in common?

Tricksy gods and goddesses reweaving the tapestry of time.

Harley Trent loves her job as a caregiver at the nursing home. Those sweet old people help her as much as she helps them. Especially after she caught her fiancé with her best friend in the chapel’s back room right before their wedding. But she’s determined to move past that humiliation. And also determined that there will be no more men for the foreseeable future. She’s got other goals now. Save up and head to the ocean. It may take a while, but she’ll get there. Until then, she enjoys taking care of the residents in the retirement home. Especially the newest one. Mr. MacCallen. A man who loves the sea as much as she does. He’s an odd duck who keeps to himself. But that’s all right. She’s taken care of odd ducks before. Until he shows her that antique locket and everything goes horribly wrong.

Fifteenth century Highlander Ronan MacKay’s magical birthright is dominion over the seas and everything in them. While his clan rules over the northeastern tip of the Highlands, he sails the oceans, reveling in the excitement and wonder of the untamable waters—until the gnawing starts. A persistent wee beastie chewing at his heart, urging him to chart a course for the one who needs him, the one pleading for him to save them. But where are they? Who are they? And what threatens them? With any luck, his mother will know or at least know where to look since she happens to be a talented, twenty-first century witch.

When the gods and goddesses decide they want something, they’ll stop at nothing to get it. And neither centuries nor the ancient edicts of the almighty Fates matter. Especially when Ronan’s magically powerful little sister unwittingly agrees to help. But for every action, there is a boon that must be paid. But the gods don’t care as long as Ronan and Harley are the ones paying—and if everything works out as planned, the two will consider the gift from the gods well worth the price.

This story includes these favorite tropes: fish out of water, wounded heroine, fated mates, strangers to lovers, forced proximity, meddling gods, and time travel

Enemies to Lovers - Second Chances - An exciting Regency romance filled with espionage, danger, and suspense!

She swore if she ever saw him again, she would shoot him. But that was before the queen commanded her to marry the rogue rather than kill him.

Lady Sophie Redwell's formative years were spent training in espionage rather than the arts of the gentler sex. After all, her illustrious parents, Lord and Lady Rydleshire, were two of the best agents ever to serve the Crown. When Sophie was born a month after her father's assassination, her brilliant mother devised a scheme to secure a future for herself and her daughter. She fabricated Sophie's fake twin brother, the 4th Earl of Rydleshire, to safeguard the family's wealth and status. But the dangerous scheme has developed a flaw: a blackmailer more interested in blood than money.

Sir Nash Bromley, a knight with a penchant for military service and a dislike for being tethered, is unfortunately a favorite of the queen's. Unfortunately a favorite because Her Majesty has an agenda for him. In the face of a blackmailing assassin threatening not only her closest friends but herself as well, the queen orchestrates a marriage between him and Sophie as one step in the plan to dismantle the Rydleshire scheme and capture the blackguard bent on destroying them all.

As Nash grapples with the unexpected turn of events, he discovers Sophie would rather kiss a toad with the pox than be in the same room with him. When he sees the awkward duckling he knew ten years ago has become an incomparable swan, he regrets how he used to tease her when he wasn't ignoring her completely. Perhaps marriage is not so unfortunate after all.

On the surface, the queen's plan seems flawless. Declare the fake earl dead, bestow the title upon Nash, and eliminate the false peer scheme to disarm the blackmailer and set a trap to capture him—or her. But there's a hitch: Sophie's unforgiving heart that Nash broke all those years ago. Determined to protect the empire she's fought for all her life, she refuses to forget his callous treatment, even if it means defying her mother and the queen and jeopardizing the plot that could save them all.

In this tale of love, espionage, and redemption, if Nash and Sophie can't find a way to reconcile their tumultuous history, someone will die.

To Steal a Marquess

The Sisterhood of Independent Ladies – Book Two

She returned to England to put him in his place—not put herself in his bed.

Alec Douglas, Duke of Lionwraith, a war hero betrayed on the home front while he was away at battle, trusts no one and prefers his solitude. But when his sister begs for help because she is ruined, he vows to make the man responsible pay. When the vile rakehell proves impossible to find, Alec isn’t swayed. He can just as easily destroy his enemy with a subtler attack. The Marquess of Ardsmere’s business provides the best wines and rarest imports to the finest houses in all the realm—but by the time Alec is finished, West Belgium International will cease to exist.

But the despicable marquess can’t be the ruination of Alec’s sister, because the man does not exist. However, Lady Francis, better known as Frannie and sometimes as the Marchioness of Ardsmere, is quite real. Born in Belgium after a terrible accident killed her father, Frannie was introduced to the world as the family’s ward rather than an Ardsmere daughter, and a fake Ardsmere son was fabricated for her to marry to keep the wealth, lands, and privileges of the title away from a heartless cousin. The ruse has served quite well, but now some quarrelsome duke threatens everything because his lightskirt sister tossed her reputation to the wind and ridiculously named the pretend marquess responsible.

Frannie is not about to lose her lucrative empire or expose herself as a fraud. There’s naught to be done but assume her usual role as the imaginary marquess’s wife and put the deplorable duke in his place. However, when she meets Alec’s sweet, trusting sister, she can’t bring herself to finish the poor girl off or take down her handsome brother. Cursing her soft-heartedness, Frannie agrees to help Alec. Not just because he’s a tempting challenge she can’t resist, but also because his sister is kindness itself.

While tracking down the real foe responsible, Alec and Frannie come together in a complicated dance that not only risks riches and reputations but also their hearts. Frannie’s life of lies has always provided everything she needs—except love. What’s she to do when the man who steals her heart despises anything that isn’t true?

What do a skillful liar and a man drowning in bitterness have in common? Loneliness and pent-up passion. An exciting combination until secrets are revealed and everything falls apart.

Blessed by a Highland Curse is here!

He’s a Highlander from the past, seeking his soulmate. She loves coffee and air conditioning.

He’s determined to take her back to his time. She’s dead set on keeping him in hers.

Newly divorced, teetering on bankruptcy, and about to lose her land, Rachel Hawkins is hanging on by a frazzled thread, but she’s still hanging on and that’s what counts. But when she dreams about a handsome Highlander who treats her to a hotter night of loving than any she’s ever read about and then shows up on her doorstep the next morning, she wonders if her frazzled thread has snapped. While it’s true her grandmother was a talented witch and trained Rachel before she died, Granny never said anything about conjuring up the perfect lover in a dream and having him delivered to your door the next day. The last thing she needs right now is a man to complicate the mess that is her life. Unless he wants to rent out the room over her garage. Rent money? She can use that. A relationship? Not so much.

Caelan MacKay, laird of Clan MacKay in the Highlands of Scotland in the year 1379, is cursed. As was his father before him, and his father’s father, and so on. Cursed to dream of his soulmate until he finds her and makes her his wife—as he has done in all previous incarnations and will do in all future ones—as long as he succeeds in this one. But the woman haunting his dreams can’t be found anywhere in Scotland, and the dreams have become sheer torment. So, he seeks help from the old druid who once advised his father. The seer finds her living in the year 2007 in an unknown land called Kentucky.

So, a bargain is struck with the Fates and the Goddess Brid. Caelan is granted the full cycle of seven moons to travel to the future and convince his true love to return with him to the year 1379 of her own free will—no trickery or Highland kidnapping allowed. At the end of the allotted time, he returns to his era whether he succeeds or fails in his quest. If he fails, he’s doomed to a life alone and possibly the end of the MacKay bloodline, a bloodline gifted with power both envied and feared by the other clans.

Against her better judgment, Rachel can’t resist Caelan, but no way is she going back to 14th century Scotland and trying to survive that country’s dangerous past—time for Plan B. With the help of Granny’s grimoire, she’ll bind Caelan to her time, and they’ll have their happily ever after with modern conveniences. But that’s the thing about the Fates and the Goddess Brid. They ignore everyone’s Plan B but their own.
