Newsletter with an Excerpt from SIS!

Hello, hello! The last few months I’ve been frantically drafting book 2 of the Rookery Rogues, Secrets in Scarlet, and it’s going really well.

Today (or tomorrow, depending) I’m sending out a newsletter that will feature an EXCLUSIVE excerpt from SIS. Do you want to get to know Poppy and Thaddeus before the summer release? Sign up today! (And if you’re not already on the list and you read this after the fact and sign up, let me know, and I’ll personally forward you the newsletter).

Here’s the blurb for Secrets in Scarlet to get your interest up…

When a girl is murdered at a factory in one of London’s rookeries, Sergeant Thaddeus Knight of the Metropolitan Police comes in to investigate. But it’s not just the factory owners that Thaddeus wants information on–the devilishly intriguing Poppy O’Reilly is a puzzle he’d like nothing more than to solve.

Protecting her young daughter is the most important thing to Poppy, and Thaddeus threatens the false identity she’s carefully constructed. The last thing she should do is allow Thaddeus close to her family, yet she can’t stay away from him. With danger around the corner, will the secrets of a scarlet woman lead to their undoing?

What’s different about SIS than ADI? So far, it’s less dark. There’s one dead body, as there is in almost all of my books, but the sweetness of the hero and heroine balance that. Don’t worry, Monroe fans (okay, like, the 7 of you out there, but work with me here), it’s still got plenty of angsty goodness and a hero to love. Called my “19th century gamer” by one of my CPs and “sweet, perfectly beta, and  different,” I’ve fallen deeply in love with him.

So what are you waiting for? Sign up now!
