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 made a promise to her mother that she would only marry for love. Even though her mother has passed away, Sophia keeps her promise close. But something doesn't feel quite right about her father's new wife and Sophia doesn't realize how dire the situation is until it is too late.

When Faine Knight discovers an injured woman in the woods, Faine realizes that in order to help her, he will have to do the unthinkable: break one of his rules. Except the wounded beauty cannot remember who she is. He wants to help her recover her identity, but the longer she stays, the more she chips away at the walls around his heart.

With each promise Sophia makes in her new life, the less she wants anything to do with her old, unknown one. But Faine doesn't want to fall in love again, especially when he is worried that what they don't know could not only keep them apart, it could endanger them both.

A steamy Regency Romance fairy tale retelling.
