EXCITING NEWS!

Simultaneous releases coming soon! Those of you who check Amazon may have gotten confused when looking for books by your favorite authors, since quite frequently, the same book might appear with more than one cover and multiple release dates. That confusion will soon be eliminated; as of May 2012, all historicals for both Mills & Boon and Harlequin Historicals will appear simultaneously in both the UK and North American markets, with only one cover and only one title. Let’s hear it for clarity!

This also means that my new series, working title “Ransleigh Rogues,” will be released in the UK at the same time it is in North America. Because of a build-up of books to switch from place to place for the change-over, the release of the first story, already completed and approved, will be delayed until sometime after May 2012. I’ll post details of final series name, book title and release date as soon as I have them. So, without further ado, I offer you…

THE RANSLEIGH ROGUES
Four cousins, best friends through childhood and university, whose destinies are forever altered by war and the love of one remarkable woman…

Book 1: Max
Max Ransleigh, charismatic leader of the cousins, has his dream of a brilliant diplomatic career destroyed by betrayal at the Congress of Vienna. While staying with his cousin Alastair, he’s accosted by Miss Caroline Denby, who makes him a most unusual proposition: ruin her, so she will not have to marry! Though amused and intrigued, Max intends to emphatically refuse, but there’s something so alluring about the unconventional Caro…

Book 2: Will
Will, Max’s cousin from the wrong side of the blanket, returns to England after Waterloo to unbelievable news: Max, whom Will credits with saving his life as a child, has apparently given up trying to revive his diplomatic career and intends to live secluded in the country. Outraged, Will sets out for Vienna to find the woman who ruined Max’s career. He’ll bring her back to England to testify and restore Max’s reputation – whether she wants to come or not! But Elodie Lefevre hasn’t survived revolution, empire and years of war to meekly do any man’s bidding.

UPDATE ON THE ROGUES

A crippling loss leaves Elodie despairing for her future, while Will wrestles over how to save her—without betraying Max, his closest cousin and dearest friend.

My book, the third, entitled THE SMUGGLER AND THE SOCIETY BRIDE, follows the tale of Lady Honoria Carlow, ruined and banished in revenge for a wrong done by her father’s generation.  Fleeing scandal to take refuge with her great-aunt on the Cornish coast, Honoria believes her life is over…until she encounters Gabriel Hawksworth,  captain of The Flying Gull and a man who seems just a little too polished and literate to be a common smuggler.  The daughter of an earl ought to avoid such a man—but could the mysterious Gabe hold the key to her new life?
