Historical Romance Author

The rules say to stay away. They say it's not proper to play games at midnight or get caught alone under the mistletoe. They also say Charlotte laughs too loud, dances the wrong dance, and shouldn't play with fire.

The more time she spends with the handsome rogue, the more she wonders whether staying on society's nice list is worth losing the joy in life. Can Charlotte find happiness within the rules or will following her heart be her biggest scandal yet?

Coming March 16, 2025!

Lady Sophia White, apple of her father's eye, has promised to endure one more London season. Sophia attends another ball, sips another lemonade, and dances another waltz until her head spins. Suddenly feeling ill and trying to leave the ball, her head is too fuzzy to properly react when she is shoved into the wrong carriage.

Faine Knight, local physician, makes a point of keeping his home life separate from his work. When he stumbles upon an injured woman in the woods, he does the unthinkable and brings her to his house. Not only is Faine suspicious of the wounded beauty, but she cannot remember who she is. Faine knows she can't stay, but the longer she does, the more he wonders if she isn't exactly what the doctor ordered.

Whether she remembers it or not, Sophia's past lurks between them. What they don't know could not only keep them apart, it could endanger them both.
