10 Regency Historical novels, several of which which are part of three different
book series.

This series revolves around four brothers who must reconcile with
their pasts in order to win the women they want as their futures. They
are introduced in For The First Time, in which the youngest brother,
Devlin, meets Lady Blythe Christian (from Elusive Passion), and decides
to woo her with the help of his older brothers. In Your Arms Again is
North's story. The illegitimate brother, he has given up hopes of ever
belonging in his brothers' world, until Octavia Vaux-Daventry walks back
into his life. In The Night is Wynthrope's story. His past comes back to
haunt him in the most horrible way as he is forced to betray Moira Tyndale,
the woman he loves, in order to protect his family. The series ends with
Still in My Heart. Brahm, the eldest, is determined to prove to Eleanor
Durbane that he is not the same man who betrayed her years ago – a
nearly impossible task since his past refuses to let him go.

did dislike each other. Apparently, the regent earned the duchess's loathing
when he came to call upon her one day. He was early and caught her before
she had finished dressing. What he saw I don't know, but he often referred
to the duchess as the czar's "platter-faced sister."

between them, both must learn to trust again, Devlin with his secrets and

of love.

About the Book...
I didn't remember at the time, but the name Henry Westhaver actually came from an old boyfriend of
my sister's. I never met Henry, so it wasn't a surprise that I didn't realize he was a real person when
I came up with the name. What was a surprise, however, was the discovery that Henry also had a wife
named Marion! My apologies to the Westhaver family for making my Henry such a jerk.

A Game of Scandal
Gabriel Warren has spent many years trying to abolish gambling, and
almost as many trying to forget how the woman he loved walked out on him
– until a cruel twist of fate brings her back into his life. Lilith
Mallory returned to England to set the ton on its ear. She never expected
to see Gabriel – not at her club. He has become everything she
despises. She is everything he opposes. The only thing they can agree on
is their attraction for one another.

About the Book...
In A Game of Scandal Lilith owns a gambling club. Impossible during the Regency? Not at all!
Ladies Mordington and Cassillis operated a chain of 'hells' in the 18th century. They wanted to be
exempt from what gaming laws there were because they were peeresses of the realm!

attempts to marry her off by aligning herself with the woman who tried to
destroy him years before. Seeing no other solution, Julian chases after
his sibling. Sophia Morelle knew Julian would come after his sister. What
she didn't expect was her own reaction to his presence in her home. And
neither of them expected to find that there is nothing more tempting than
an innocent kiss.

About the Book...
The inspiration for Into Temptation came from the story of Caroline Lamb and Lord Byron. Their affair
was much more scandalous and in depth than Julian and Sophia's, but nevertheless I wanted to write about
lovers reunited under the haze of a scandal entirely of their own making.

About the Book...
Scottish titles of nobility were sometimes passed down through the
mother's family line, while that was almost totally unheard of in England.
