Medieval Monday – Families

It’s almost time for another series of Medieval Monday posts. If you’ve only just joined me, here’s how it works. Each week I’ll be sharing an excerpt from a Medieval romance by a guest author, and she’ll be sharing an excerpt from my book on her blog. The blog hop will run for eight weeksContinue reading “Medieval Monday – Families”

Dance the night away.

>An older post updated to include the scene from Redeeming the Rogue Knight.< It’s party season and I’m looking forward to getting out on Friday night for a dance with my colleagues so I thought I’d share some of the scenes from my books involving dancing. I love dancing and don’t get to do itContinue reading “Dance the night away.”

Only a Winter’s Tale?

I think A Wager for the Widow was released at the wrong time of year because I’m definitely getting a more wintery feel to the evenings now and can all too clearly imagine Eleanor and Will shivering out in the gardens and cuddling up for warmth in this scene. Why not get hold of aContinue reading “Only a Winter’s Tale?”

A month down the line

A Wager for the Widow has been out for a month. Yesterday I had a wonderful review on Cataromance which described the book as ‘a fantastic historical romance that sweeps readers back to the past and enchants them with its intoxicating blend of intrigue, adventure, passion and pathos.’ I’ve had an amazing response for the bookContinue reading “A month down the line”

Cover Comparison

I’ve got two covers now and I don’t know whether or not it was intentional on the part of the art department but they’re very similar. Both feature lovely heroines in green with moody skies in the background. As much as I would have loved to see who they chose to play the heroes (oneContinue reading “Cover Comparison”

A Wager for the Widow cover reveal and excerpt

I’m excited to reveal the cover for my July release, A Wager for the Widow. Although I’d been not-too-secretly hoping for my gorgeous hero Will (looking like a cross between Alexander Skasgard and Chris Hemsworth) I’m really pleased with the result. The model’s shade of hair is exactly right for my feisty widow Eleanor. It’s aContinue reading “A Wager for the Widow cover reveal and excerpt”

Title reveal!

Yesterday I was gloomy owing to my day job. Today I’m not so I want to share the title for my next book. It’s the story of Eleanor and Will and is called A Wager for the Widow which I think has a great alliterative ring to it. It comes out in July (just inContinue reading “Title reveal!”
