No Gentleman for GeorginaI’m really thrilled today to post about the release of my 52nd book, No Gentleman for Georgina! It’s the 4th book in my The Notorious Flynns series!. The book can be read as a standalone story!

Here is a quick description:

Georgina Hickson has lived her life doing everything she is supposed to do in order to land the titled husband her family requires. When she met Paul Abbot at a gathering at a friend's, it was the first time she ever wanted more. But more is something she knows she cannot have.

Paul has been in love with Georgina since the moment he laid eyes on her two years before, but he knows he isn't good enough for her and it can never be. But when he finds out she desperately wants to see a special exhibit in London, he agrees to take her. But can a stolen moment, a stolen kiss and a whispered confession lead to happiness or heartache?

The Widow Wager is a USA Today Bestseller!!

I'm so thrilled to announce that The Widow Wager hit the USA Today Bestseller list this week! It is my first time ever hitting this list and I'm so thrilled! Thank you to everyone who bought it and I hope you're enjoying it!

The Widow Wager is here!

I’m back! Yes, I know it’s been a lot of these posts from me this year because I’ve been so lucky to be able to put out so many books since 2015 began. Today I’m celebrating the release of THE WIDOW WAGER. It’s the third second book in my The Notorious Flynns series, featuring Crispin Flynn. The book can be read as a standalone story! Oh and it’s only 2.99 through the end of today and then the price will go up to its regular price. :)
Here is a quick description:

Crispin Flynn has been on a downward spiral ever since he lost the woman he loved and watched his brother forced into a life he never would have chosen. His response has been drinking and gambling his way to utter ruin. One night, deep in his cups, he places a dangerous bet that results in him being forced to marry Gemma, the widow of the Earl of Laurelcross.

Gemma once had a passionate side, but has been hiding it ever since her much older husband died during the act of making love. Now she finds herself the much unwanted wife of one of the biggest libertines in London and the subject of even more gossip than ever.

Once they determine they cannot escape the marriage, the two begin a slow circling of each other. Passion is easy, but can they overcome mistrust and secrets in order to make the worst night of their lives one of their best? Or are they bound to lose each other before their love can take root?

The Scoundrel's Lover is out Today!

I can’t believe I get to post this today, but my 50th book is out TODAY. THE SCOUNDREL’S LOVER is the second book in my The Notorious Flynns series, featuring Annabelle Flynn. The book can be read as a standalone story!
Here is a quick description:

Annabelle Flynn is the sister of London's two biggest libertines, and her reaction has been to become the picture of purity. But the sensual nature of her family has not been lost on her and she is troubled by urges she dare not follow. She ignores the demands of her body and instead throws herself into two different activities. One is pursuing a proper marriage in Society and the other is trying to save her broken brother by following him into the shocking Donville Masquerade, part of a hell run by the mysterious Marcus Rivers.

By day, Annabelle pursues ladylike endeavors and seeks a staid husband to combat the wild reputations of her brothers. By night, she inserts herself into Marcus's business... and eventually she finds herself seduced into his bed.

But can a not-quite-proper lady and an entirely unsuitable cad find anything in common outside of the bedroom? And will Annabelle be willing to trade passion for cold, calculated 'perfection'?

The Other Duke is out!

This is a huge day for me! Today THE OTHER DUKE is out!! This book about a man who inherits a title and a bride unexpectedly is the first book in my The Notorious Flynns series and my first book on my 100% Indie journey! It’s scary and exciting and I hope you all love it.

Here is a quick description:

For years Serafina McPhee has been engaged to marry the heir to the Duke of Hartholm and for almost as long, she has been struggling to find a way out of that engagement. When he suddenly dies, she does not mourn but thrills at the idea that she will be free. Unfortunately, best laid plans go awry when the next in line for the title, her intended’s cousin, Raphael “Rafe” Flynn is forced to take over the engagement. But Serafina knows Rafe’s reputation as a libertine and wants nothing to do with him, either, even if he is devastatingly handsome.

She proposes an arrangement: she will agree to the marriage and provide Rafe with his heir and spare. Once she has done her duty, he will let her go. Rafe is intrigued both by her beauty and by her utter disgust with the idea of being his bride. Women normally fall at his feet, not cringe away from him. However, since their arranged marriage is not something he can escape, he agrees to her terms.

But when he finds out on their wedding night the truth about her torture at the hands of his predecessor, he finds himself driven not just to fulfill his bargain with his new bride, but to introduce her to desire. While they move closer together, surrendering to wicked pleasures, dangerous emotions may violate every agreement they’ve made.

Release day for A Measure of Deceit!

Promo Posts A Measure of Deceit
Here we are at another release day (YAY!!!) and I’m so thrilled that A MEASURE OF DECEIT is the third and final book in my Ladies Book of Pleasures series about a scandalous book and the women whose lives are changed forever by it (the first was A MATTER OF SIN and second was A MOMENT OF PASSION, both of which are still available everywhere).
Here is a quick description:

The Ladies Book of Pleasures, now credited with two marriages and countless other affairs and liaisons, has Society all aflutter. The one person not benefitting from its scandalous advice? The author herself.
From the safety of her anonymity, Lady Grace Hollis, Duchess of Jameswood, enjoys the blissful results of her handiwork—and pretends she does not miss the passionate proclivities she penned. But when her handsome editor begins making the rounds of Society parties, she wonders how long her secret will be safe.

Connor Sheridan wants—needs—to know the answer to the one burning question on everyone’s lips: the mystery writer’s identity. And it’s not just because their correspondence, delivered via untraceable couriers, has made him smile, frown, or imagine her engaged in erotic escapades—with him.
Other letters have begun landing on his desk, letters written by a decidedly unfriendly hand. And though it may threaten her reputation, the safest place for her could very well be his arms. Whether she likes it or not.

The book is available at all eBook retailers:
