I have been busy finishing the first book of my next trilogy. More details will be forthcoming, like the title, but currently it is scheduled to be published next March. This series is hero-centric, and the heroines will not necessarily know each other. This allows me more flexibility in the stories, and I am looking forward to taking advantage of that. As for the heroes, they are all sons of a duke, one of whom inherits right as the series begins when the eldest brother dies unexpectedly. That death will serve as the thread unfolding throughout all of the books.

How I Am Spending my Summer
Wednesday, August 6th, 2014Wonderful Library Journal Review
Monday, June 9th, 2014The Library Journal gave The Accidental Duchess a lovely review!
“Blackmailed and faced with embarrassment and the suspicion of treason if the draft of her ill-advised, racy adventure novel is made public, unconventional Lady Lydia Alfreton heads to the gaming tables to raise some cash. Sadly, her gambling plan goes awry, and she is forced to call in an old bet with the Duke of Penthurst and recklessly wager (and lose) her virtue. Although the duke doesn’t plan to collect, he keeps Lydia guessing. Then Lydia’s ill-advised attempt to deal with the blackmailer brings Penthurst to the rescue, compromising them both, and suddenly it’s marriage, not simple seduction, that lay ahead. VERDICT A rash, adventure-seeking heroine and an honorable, take-charge hero clash splendidly as passions blaze in this complex story that pairs another marvelously singular couple, brings the bad guys to justice, and cleverly ties up the loose ends…—to the delight of all concerned.” —Library Journal on The Accidental Duchess
