To her great surprise, the purchase of Coral Cottage transpired without issue. The house’s owner proved all too willing to divest himself of the property for a paltry sum and none of Adele’s family questioned her procurement of the funds to do so. That in itself appeared suspicious to her mind, but she could think […]
An eerie silence blanketed the streets as they exited the carriage. It was that time of night in between when all the inappropriate activities took place and when they gave way to the first early risers of honorable work. A time when few people traversed the streets and even the cats and rats seemed to […]
A giggle of delight tickled its way up Lenore’s throat as her fingers paused in their scanning of the book in front of her. Snatching it up, she looked up and surveyed the space around her. Eager eyes met nothing but emptiness. What was taking Daniel so long? Narrowing her eyes at the offending open […]
The Earl of St. Erth returns home from war only to find his familial estate may prove more deadly than the Battlefield at Waterloo. He finds an ally in the plain and pragmatic Drucilla, but can the two of them stop the attempts on his life before one of them succeeds? What I didn’t like […]

Not only does the country (which I’ve never visited) spark a sense of interest and curiosity in me, I’ve been working on a novella series set amid its fabled wine country which I hope to finally […]
Eric stepped into the closet with a sigh. How he wished his life weren’t such an open-ended lie. Among his family he was one person, to the world, another, and now a strange mixture of the two with Eloise. How she would despise him if she knew he understood what she had said, all the […]
Angelique cut across the field from the road once her home was in sight. She’d got the feeling of eyes watching her the entire time she was out, during her hurried walk into town and now on her way home. The open grassy field beside her home offered no hiding spots, as opposed to the […]
