Announcement!
I have some great news! I have agreed to a new three-book deal with Grand Central Publishing. These books will be an offshoot of the HOUSE OF TRENT books, featuring some of the same characters but introducing a whole new group of characters as well. This is a group of badass Regency mercenaries called the Hellhound Knights. These guys are nothing like your normal Regency gentlemen. They are dark and serious and oh so sexy! I can’t wait to dig in and share these stories with all of you! Right now, we’re planning to have all three books release in 2015. WOO HOOOOOO!

The Rogue’s Proposal is out!
Well, the day has come! It’s release day for The Rogue’s Proposal. I can tell you that this book is my steamiest and most emotional book yet…and definitely not for the faint of heart. One reviewer said there should probably be a warning somewhere on the the book about the heat level. 
I want to thank all of you wonderful readers–you are the best readers ever, and you’re why I keep writing stories. I love having the ability to entertain you. So THANK YOU! And to those of you who’ve spread the word about my HOUSE OF TRENT series, I can’t thank you enough. I appreciate it SO much!
Anyway, it’s an exciting day. The House of Trent is close to my heart, and Luke’s story is a special one for me. I sincerely hope you enjoy it!
Lots of Giveaways and Contests going on!

Improbable Marriages #3: The Actress and the Duke
Harriot Mellon (1817-18)
The most improbable of all improbable marriages?
The year: 1827
The hero: William Aubrey de Vere Beauclerk, 9th Duke of St. Albans
The heroine: Harriot Mellon, the daughter of strolling players (though some sources say her father was a chimney sweep) and a celebrated actress in London.
Their happily ever after: Harriot was swept off her feet by an extremely rich banker, Thomas Coutts, who married her in 1815. After his death in 1822, she took helped run his bank and became extremely rich. She was, by all accounts, very poised, and a kind and generous hostess, even when some members of society cut her. She caught the duke’s eye soon afterwards, and when he was courting her, Sir Walter Scott (who seemed to have been somewhat of a matchmaker for this couple) said:
‘If the Duke marries her, he insures an immense fortune: and if she marries him, she has the front rank. If he marries a woman older than himself by twenty years, she marries a man younger in wit by twenty degrees. I do not think he will dilapidate her fortune: he seems good and gentle. I do not think she will abuse his softness of disposition-shall I say? or of heart.’ (1)
Harriot married the duke in 1827, and she became the Duchess of St. Albans. He was 23 years younger than she was!
