She narrowed her gaze. “Don’t act the innocent. We both know you are far from it. I do not appreciate you playing these games at my expense. I came here for a purpose, and I won’t have you distracting me.”
He immediately latched on to that. “I distract you, do I?”
“Not in a good way, I assure you.”
“Then I suppose we’ll have to change that.”

Doll collector
Some people may wonder why I like to collect dolls when they are “creepy.” It’s likely for the same reason that I read (and write!) those “smut” filled romance novels. Both are a personal escape and something that has given me a lot of enjoyment through the years. Both have given me wonderful opportunities to meet the most amazing people on the planet.
Just today I got a new doll from one of my favorite artists - Brenda with Eyes of Texas dolls. The special part was the August/September edition of the Dolls magazine inside with the article she wrote showcasing some of her personalized dolls. I requested one to be made of my grandma when she was younger. She also included the picture I sent of little Wanda Sue holding her likeness.
Maybe the next time someone thinks of the words “creepy” or “smut” in relation to these amazing worlds of creativity, they will remember this post. ♥️

Next month!!!

My NEW novella, “Winning in Wedlock,” will be included! Who’s excited????
https://books2read.com/u/baoPLx
It’s a battle of matrimony, but who will win in wedlock?
Miss Dulcenia Hargrove is a bespectacled wallflower, who never thought that she would be fortunate enough to find a prospective husband. However, when she is approached by a celebrated matchmaker, she decides that it wouldn’t hurt to take her advice. When they travel to a house party to meet the suitor the lady has in mind, sparks immediately fly. But is his regard in truth?
Lord Carew Fernvine, Marquess of Dalhousie, is a rake. He decided to attend a ridiculous house party to humor an older lady for his own amusement. He has no intention of marrying anyone, particularly a mousy woman that is known for being dull. However, he soon finds that Lady Dulcenia has much more to recommend her than he originally believed. It isn’t until his resolve is tested by a newcomer vying for the lady’s hand, that he has to decide if he’s as against marriage as he once thought.

Secrets. Lies. And a second chance at love…
Torn from the only man she’d ever loved by a tragic secret, Mara Miller has traveled a long and difficult road. From poverty and the workhouses, she’s finally made a life for herself as the owner of a small haberdashery in London. With her companion, Big B, an African slave she’d helped escaped from a Brazilian slaver, she’s made a fresh start. But when the past walks into her shop – in the form of the ever-handsome Roarke Garrott, Viscount Eversleigh – Mara feels her whole world crash to her feet. Thrust back into a web of lies, deceit, and manipulation, Mara is forced to face the one man she’d sworn to forget.
For the past seven years, Roarke had sequestered himself in India to mourn Mara’s death. Vowing to move on and put the past behind him, he returns to London, only to find himself gazing into those beautiful green eyes he believed he’d never see again. Now he’s found her – alive and trying to deny who she was. A million feelings wash over him. Joy. Fury. Heartbreak. He would have the truth from her – of where she’d gone, and why -- but when trouble from the past finds Mara and Big B, the truth becomes secondary to saving Mara’s life. After just learning that the woman he’d loved is alive, Roarke is not about to lose her again…

Preorder Alert!
Lady Calliope is the most carefree and spirited of all the Bevelstroke sisters. With her fiery, copper locks and adventurous nature, she is determined to make a name for herself. In an effort to pursue her dream of independence, she sets out for the coast of Lyme Regis to search for rare fossils. The problem is a certain viscount that is always in her way…
Sebastian Ford, Viscount Blakely, has a certain weakness when it comes to redheads and finds Calliope’s flirtatious personality quite irresistible. His sights are set on her, but she thwarts him at every turn, knowing him to be a complete scoundrel. When he arrives at the seaside town under the pretense that his curmudgeon of a grandfather wishes to take the waters for his health, the lady is furious, but it doesn’t take much persuasion for her to succumb to his charms…
Unfortunately, their growing happiness is threatened by the Marquess of Abersheem. He doesn’t believe that Calliope is a good match for his grandson, and devises a plan to tempt Sebastian away.
Is the passionate relationship Calliope and Sebastian have built strong enough to persevere? Or will they crumble under the first test of adversity?
