My latest Victorian tale, Ruse & Romance, will be released on Monday, September 8th, but you can order it now on Amazon.
Summary:
Unjustly labeled a flirt, Kitty Beaucroft is in need of a fiancé. Lord Philip Butler’s father wants him to settle down before he can become a landowner. With no intention of following through, Kitty and Philip enter into a temporary engagement as a means to an end. Unfortunately, someone knows the truth and is determined to expose them.

Excerpt:
Her eyes brimming with tears, Kitty hastened down the hallway and climbed the servants’ staircase to the floor above. She burst into the spare bedroom, slammed the door shut, and backed away as if pursued by the devil.

Excerpt:
Her eyes brimming with tears, Kitty hastened down the hallway and climbed the servants’ staircase to the floor above. She burst into the spare bedroom, slammed the door shut, and backed away as if pursued by the devil.
An unfamiliar male voice made her freeze. “Hullo there. I believe you have me at a disadvantage.”
She whirled around to discover a half-dressed young gentleman staring at her in surprise. He was sitting in a wing chair near the window with an open book in his hands. Although he wore trousers, his well-muscled torso was bare. A squeak emerged from her throat.
“I’m so horribly sorry! Please forgive me for intruding on your privacy.”
She backed toward the door. In her haste, she stepped on the train of her gown and sat down on the carpet, hard. Flushed with mortification, and upset from her exchange with Lord Gryphon, she buried her face in her hands and began to sob.
“Are you hurt?” the man asked. “Should I call a physician?”
Still sobbing, she shook her head. Lord, strike me dead right now!

Victorian Romance Audiobook • The Ice Captain’s Daughter
At long last, my bestselling Victorian romance The Ice Captain’s Daughter is available as a 3.5 hour audiobook!
Summary:
The daughter of a wealthy ice merchant, Miss Jillian Roring intends to marry for love. En route to her first season in London, however, a failed kidnapping sends her into the arms of the most jaded bachelor in England. When Logan and Jillian unwittingly violate the rigid rules of propriety in Victorian-era England, he is obliged to make her an offer of marriage. Because she aspires to be more than an obligation, Jillian refuses the match. Logan follows her to London to woo her properly, but his scheming ex-fiance has other plans.
Can Logan convince Jillian that his love for her is real or will the cruel gossip and sharp tongues of London society tear their budding relationship apart?
A romantic Victorian-era novella set in 1899, England.
You can listen free with a Audible.com trial membership, or purchase it outright. The audiobook is also available at Amazon, and at iTunes. And, as always, the ebook is available at Amazon.
I really enjoyed the process of making this audiobook, and I hope readers enjoy listening to it!

With no intention of following through, Kitty and Philip enter into a temporary engagement as a means to an end. Unfortunately, someone knows the truth and is determined to expose them.

Coming Soon!
Excerpt:
“My friends have wagered that you won’t dance more than twice tonight,” Gryphon said. “I didn’t take that bet because I’m rather certain you won’t dance at all.”
Kitty’s smile faded as she realized Lord Gryphon and her former suitors were bent on meting out retribution for her refusals. It was no wonder she’d been ignored that evening; apparently a public humiliation had been prearranged amongst them.

“I trust that my unhappiness will afford you and your friends a great deal of satisfaction,” she managed.
Gryphon was jovial. “A fair amount, I should think.”
“Excuse me.”
Wounded, she fled from the ballroom in search of refuge.

Excerpt:
A muscle in Dane’s jaw rippled. “We must move faster. The longer she’s alone, the more likely it is she’ll encounter something dangerous.”
“She’s done well enough so far, no thanks to you,” Joe muttered.
Dane peered at Joe with narrowed eyes. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“You’ve shown your distaste for Heather upon more than one occasion.”
“I would never let my personal feelings interfere with my duty to protect the child,” Dane exploded.
“Really? Then why is she lost?”
Dane hands formed fists at his side. As the two men squared off, Shimmer stepped in between. “Jovander, I’ve known Dane much longer than you have. You accuse him unjustly.”
“That is so,” Manny concurred.
“No, no. Don’t bother to defend me. It won’t make a difference. Jovander Chance has a deep seated resentment toward the royal class and doesn’t believe we could ever act unselfishly,” Dane scoffed.
“Forgive me for saying so, but this whole quest is selfish!” Joe yelled. “If it succeeds, you Ormvalders resume ruling the kingdom. Heather gets nothing except for a pat on the back. She’s the only one of us here who has acted in an unselfish manner.”
“You’ve acted unselfishly too, Joe,” Manny said.
Dane smirked. “No, he hasn’t. Haven’t you noticed? Young Joe is quite taken with the lass.”
Joe flushed bright red. “Don’t act so smug, Your Highness. I’ve seen the way you look at her.”
“First you practically accuse me of doing her in, and now you accuse me of having designs on the woman?” Dane thundered. “Make up your mind.”
“First you call her a child, and now a woman?” Joe pointed out. “You should make up your own mind.”
A long, smoldering silence followed in which nobody spoke.

Three Day Freebie • DANCING WITH RAVEN
Originally posted on S.G. Rogers, Author:
I worked for years in Hollywood, trying to catch my big break. I performed on stage, theater-in-the-park, cable series, industrial videos, soap operas, commercials, television, and films. I also had some lowly jobs, such as a Tour Guide for Universal Studios Hollywood, and I paged many TV shows back in the eighties, such as Who’s The Boss, Roseanne, Empty Nest, My Two Dads, Designing Women, and Seinfeld, to name a few. I was also in L.A. for the Northridge earthquake, an event that left an indelible mark in my memory.
The saying goes, “write what you know,” which is why L.A. forms the backdrop for Dancing With Raven. And it’s a free Kindle download Tuesday, July 29th – Thursday, July 31st. If you’ve ever been to L.A., you’ll recognize some of the locations, and if you’ve never been there, perhaps it will inspire…
