Historical Romance

A man branded a scoundrel by the ton, his family the scandalous Sinning Flynns . . .

A woman burdened with the reputation of her own promiscuous family . . . 

Fate brings them together on one magical night . . .

Though he physically resembles his older brothers, Aiden Flynn is not close to being a rogue, though Polite Society lumps him in with the other Sinning Flynns, one of England’s most notorious families. He is more like his maternal grandfather, the Duke of Savernake, the man Aiden models himself after.

Lady Larissa Warren, the product of her mother’s long-ago affair with Viscount Silverton, has yet to find a suitor, thanks to her amoral family’s behavior. Her legal father, Lord Campton, has issued Larissa an ultimatum—find a husband at the annual Savernake Stag Ball—or he will see her married to the ancient Lord Langdon.

A chance meeting brings Aiden and Larissa together just as Aiden learns from his dying grandfather that he will inherit Larkhaven from the duke—if Aiden finds a bride at tonight’s Stag Ball—and weds her before the duke’s impending death.

Aiden decides Larissa is the one for him, but she is determined never to wed a man who would be unfaithful to her, especially one of the infamous Sinning Flynns. Will Aiden convince Larissa he is nothing like his rakehell brothers and win the auburn-haired beauty’s hand?

On the night of her come-out, Lady Emma Spencer learns her father has bilked numerous peers. Not only is she humiliated, but her father flees England, leaving Emma penniless and homeless. She finds work as a companion and years later, she winds up with a fortune. All she lacks now is the children she so desperately desires. That means finding a husband—and she turns to The Black Widow of Whitehall, Mrs. Bessie Dove-Lyon, who pairs women touched by scandal with men in desperate need of money.

Upon his father’s death, Marcus becomes the Earl of Rutherford and finds he’s bankrupt, thanks to his father losing the family fortune to poor investments and gambling. Though Marcus had wanted to wed for love, he turns to an infamous matchmaker, who arranges a marriage for him. Lady Emma Spencer is everything he dreamed of in a woman, and Marcus gallantly refuses to discuss her past, telling Emma he is her future.

But secrets have a way of coming out and Marcus learns he’s married to the one woman he never would have chosen.

Can Marcus put aside the ghosts of the past and accept a future with his wife?

An unnamed ghost haunts a bridge crossing the Medway River, seeking help from newlyweds who promise to right a 500-year-old wrong . . .

Elric de Bergville of Windsong goes against his father’s wishes and weds his childhood sweetheart, Lady Anne Glanville, at the center of the bridge which connects their families’ properties. But the lovers are betrayed, cruelly separated by death and time, forced to walk the earth alone.

Lady Iris Langley returns to Glanbury, her father’s country estate, after a decade of living in London and encounters the ghost she befriended as a child. Iris learns the ghost is named Anne but can find no record of what happened to her. In despair, she turns to Crispin Bergville, her childhood friend and now Earl of Windthorst, whose estate, Windsong, lies across from Glanbury, separated by the Medway River.

Sparks ignite between the pair and soon Iris and Crispin are betrothed. When the couple discovers initials inside a heart carved into the center of the bridge connecting their families’ estates, they believe it is the key to unlocking Anne’s story. The pair vows to learn the truth and find a way to set Anne’s spirit free. 

Will Iris and Crispin be able to solve the mystery—or will Anne and Elric be doomed for all time?

Inspired by the lyrics from The 12 Days of Christmas (a chant and not yet a song during Regency times), Luke St. Clair, Earl of Mayfield, is determined to give his beloved wife of eight years, Caroline, a Christmas she will always remember.

Caroline has fond memories of the chant from her time in Boston with her beloved Aunt Evie, for whom Caroline’s bookshop is named. Luke locates a copy of the book where the lyrics to The 12 Days of Christmas were first published and has their four children memorize the lines to chant to their mother. He then plans, as the lover in the song, to present his countess with twelve different gifts during the Christmas season.

As the twelve days progress, Luke gifts Caroline with a new present each day. His final gift is the best of all, one that changes their family—but not the love between this couple.

A child from the streets . . .

A couple with love in their hearts . . .

After her mother’s death, six-year-old Lucy is sold by her father to Driskell, a drunk who forces her and two orphans, Jem and Boy, to work the streets of London as pickpockets. When Jem is killed in a carriage accident, Lucy and Boy run from their brutish owner. Separated from Boy as they flee, Lucy must now learn how to survive on her own.

Luke and Caroline St. Clair, Earl and Countess of Mayfield, are still madly in love after several years of marriage and have a growing brood of three children whom they adore. They also own the popular Evie’s Bookstore and Tearoom. It is here Luke first encounters a small child all alone, peering into the store’s windows, hungrily eying the books on display. Though young and seemingly innocent on first glance, he quickly realizes that she is an old soul and a street urchin who must live by her wits and learns she is an orphan who belongs to no one.

In the midst of celebrating the Christmas season with their family—and with love in their hearts for a child who needs them—can Luke and his countess convince a young, untrusting girl to become a part of their family?

One boy abandoned by a greedy, gambling father . . .

Another boy watches his father slowly dying . . .

A lasting friendship that will see them through the hard times—and beyond . . .

Christmas is coming to Gillingham, the country seat of the Reid Baker, Duke of Gilford, and home to Dunwood Academy, a school for boys run by the Duchess of Gilford. Ashlyn is with child after their recent marriage and all seems right in their world—until two visitors bring upsetting news.

One is Viscount Dalworth, whose son, Thomas, is a new student at the academy. Shy and withdrawn because of his mother’s recent death, Thomas is finally coming out of his shell, thanks to his friendship with scholarship student Edward Pickens. The viscount is on the prowl for a wealthy wife and chooses to attend a house party during the holidays, informing Ashlyn that Thomas is an inconvenience and he must remain at school during the Christmas holidays.

The other visitor is the local doctor, who brings heartbreaking news of Edward’s father, a local farmer who is dying of winter fever. Because of their situations, the young friends will remain with Reid and Ashlyn over their Christmas break.

Though heartbreak occurs, both Edward and Thomas mature and their friendship will endure for many Yuletides to come.

A young woman who sees the future. A couple in desperate need of a babe. Hope for a Christmas miracle . . .

After one day of marriage and seven long years apart, Geoffrey and Merryn de Montfort are finally enjoying their first Christmas season together with their twins, Alys and Ancel. Merryn is carrying a new babe and looks forward to life ahead with the husband she adores.

Daralys Marillac is a young woman with a special gift, a seer who can view future events. She’s kept this talent hidden, fearing she might be accused of being a witch. Secretly using her ability, she has found lost objects and people and preventing mishaps from occurring over the years.

Yet the unwed Daralys now finds herself with child and she is unable to see her own future. Something, though, urges Daralys to make her way to Kinwick Castle, home to her neighbors, the de Montforts.

Will Geoffrey and Merryn help a young mother in need—and will the babe she delivers be the answer that another couple seeks?
