Lady Violet Pays a Call — Book Seven
Book 7 in the Lady Violet Mysteries series · Pre-Order Your Copy
While Lady Violet Belmaine is busy sorting out the odd turns her life has recently taken, Hugh St. Sevier repairs to his Kent estate in hopes of embarking on the placid life of a rural physician. Alas, for St. Sevier, the village of St. Ivo has more secrets than it has pots of heartease, and the good doctor will once again find himself the target of rumors and threats.
Somebody is rigging St. Ivo’s hound races, setting neighbor against neighbor, and turning what should be a friendly entertainment into an occasion for brawling. As an expert on medicinal herbs and soporifics, St. Sevier comes under suspicion. St. Ivo badly needs a physician, and the village also needs somebody to unravel the intrigues that are tearing it apart. St. Sevier can’t get to the bottom of the mystery on his own, but help–in the persons of Lady Violet and Sebastian MacHeath, is on the way!

Yuletide Gems—A Regency Novella Duet
An Anthology in the Holiday Anthology series · Pre-Order Your Copy
Two heartwarming holiday tales of true love set in a place where happily ever afters abound–the library, of course!
Matilda Merridew, former hoyden of the first water, finds herself widowed, weary, and in want of coin. Along comes Marcus, Lord Tremont, with an interesting–and decent–proposition. Tremont will provide Matilda a handsome salary and keep a commodious roof over her head if she will relieve him of the burden of managing a houseful of unruly former soldiers.
Matilda accepts the post, and soon learns that the proper, soft-spoken earl has a far more dashing side. Marcus, whose lodestars in life have been order and duty, is drawn to Matilda’s determination and pragmatic good cheer. When Matilda’s past rises from the grave to destroy any hope of a happily ever after, Matilda and Marcus will have to decide if love truly can conquer all!
Lady Violet and Sebastian MacHeath are trying to forge a cordial marriage out of unlikely beginnings. When they are invited to a summer house party, they accept, hoping to make the excursion into a belated wedding journey of sorts–or at least a respite from meddling relatives. No sooner do they arrive, than their host’s ward is accused of petty wrongdoing. As the charges escalate into familial acrimony and worse, Violet determines that a scheme is afoot to discredit the young man.
Unraveling the mystery before a criminal investigation goes too far will require that Sebastian and Violet trust one another as they haven’t in years. They can get to the bottom of the unfortunate developments at the house party, but can they solve the mystery of how to be husband and wife in more than name?
And if that’s not enough…
August should see a republication (new cover, lower price) of Tremaine’s True Love, the first of the True Gentlemen stories, followed by Daniel’s True Desire in November, and Will’s True Wish in February of 2023. In terms of new releases, I plan to get 2023 off to a good start with more Mischief in Mayfair. Trevor, Marquess of Tavistock has been over in France for the past few books, but I have not forgotten him! Then too, Michael Delancey is brooding about Town, looking like a guy who has regrets and secrets. Might need to sort him out as well.
I also hope to have some delightful news on the audiobook front shortly, and I will be re-publishing the first three True Gentlemen with new covers over the coming months. (I hope to get the Sweetest Kisses contemporary romances re-published as well, but I’m running out of months in 2022 already!)
If you follow me on Bookbub, you’ll get a brief new release announcement as every upcoming title becomes available for pre-order. (Maybe I should follow myself on Bookbub…?)
