Set in Hanoverian England, circa 1745 during the Jacobite uprising. The novel is a rather dark mystery romance of 116,000 words.
A man is so driven by revenge and righteous anger that the line between good and evil becomes blurred and he all but destroys the woman he loves.
His life is dark, his past is violent. He is haunted by a murdered wife and child and obsessed with avenging their deaths. This is Marquis Blake de Montfort, the most powerful man at court, but his power is not vested in parliament, it’s more insidious. He’s a ruthless master spy for King George II. The marquis is hated by men, desired by women and feared by all.
The king lusts after Tanisha Ashburn and forces the marquis to marry her. She has no idea that she’s surrendered her life of travel and searching for antiquities for the lusts of men and betrayal.

Unprepared for the marquis’ verbal abuse and the intrigues surrounding him, Tanisha’s life becomes a misery. Left alone for days, she explores her new home. She stumbles on a hidden study and surprises a handsome stranger. He introduces himself as the marquis’ brother. Evan is everything her husband is not. Tanisha succumbs to his seduction, but she is unaware of the dire consequences that will forever change her.


Set in Victorian England, The Bohemian is a 90,000 word historical romance with humor, adventure and erotic love scenes.

Fire meets ice. The naïve Calla Marshall is wild. Ryder Stanton is a lieutenant Colonel ruled by discipline. Calla has never known restraint, social or otherwise. Ryder has never known anything except restraint. He is a soldier entrenched in discipline with an eye firmly on social correctness.

On his father death, Ryder returns from India to take up his duties as the sixth Earl of Felton. He resents the curtailment of his military career. But more than that, he is ill prepared for Calla, who comes with his responsibilities. His answer to the problem is Lady Sandering’s finishing school in Bath, a season at court and a suitable marriage. The free-spirited Calla has other ideas. In Ryder’s wild pursuit to control her, he completely forgets his betrothed, the correct Miss Langford, and his life unravels.

Set in Southern Africa, circa 1872. A 97,000 word novel of adventure and romance with notes of humor.
Dara Claiborne didn't know the meaning of no, until she met Oran Randall.
The headstrong English suffragette arrives in the Calvinistic Cape Colony like a whirlwind. Dara’s outspoken opinions set her at odds with the hardworking, taciturn Oran, who manages her father’s two wine estates in Stellenbosch.
Her ailing father asked Oran to take Dara on a photographic safari. Oran readily agrees to his mentor’s request, until he meets her. Not only is Dara irresistibly beautiful, but she is a magnet for trouble.
Then her father dies, leaving a strange will. Oran inherits one of the farms, but Dara must marry Oran or inherit nothing except enough to support her. Viticulture and horse breeding are Oran’s life. His mistress, Elspeth, is his only recreation. Dara’s passion is photography. They marry and agree to lead separate lives. But Oran can’t resist her, any more than she can resist him. They make love, but Dara accuses Oran of rape and takes off on safari alone.
So begins a pursuit through a savage land from the Cape Colony to Zululand.
