 Announcing my new Regency Romance,

Coming May 1st, 2012--

The Last of Lady Lansdown

     In the dawn of the Regency era in Northern England, precious few mourn the sudden and shocking passing of the Earl of Lansdown. Certainly not Jane Elton, the young and beautiful widow whose life he made a misery. After her initial relief, Jane must contend with an unexpected and devastating reality: because she is childless, she and her family must descend several rungs down the social ladder.

     One hope remains. Could she be pregnant? A son would inherit; otherwise the title and estate will go to the Earl’s slightly younger twin brother, his greedy wife, and many unpleasant offspring. Jane must also contend with the unrealistic hopes of her bitter and ambitious mother and dowerless sister.

     Enter Douglas Cartland, a notorious rake with a tragic past. During these first months of widowhood, Jane’s conduct must be above reproach, but she cannot keep her distance. Especially when Cartland contrives to turn up everywhere she looks.

     Is Cartland really the scoundrel everyone believes him to be? Will Jane forfeit her title, her family’s fortunes and her reputation for the sake of forbidden desire?

     Fate—and Cartland—have many surprises in store.

     

    

     Hello everyone. I am the author of many Regency romances, published with Ballantine and Signet. Camel Press has recently published my western romance novel, Heartbreak Trail, a tittilating tale about finding romance while dealing with the never-ending hardships of crossing the prarie during the California Gold Rush.
