Have you been a naughty author or a nice author?

I guess you could say I’ve been mostly nice, but with a naughty streak. Kind of like my heroine, Lily Penhallow Albright, in my latest release Lily and the Gambler. Lily is a bad girl trying to good.

Which is more fun?

Lily would tell you being naughty is always more fun. The only downside is the unanticipated consequences.

Lily Gambler coverHere’s the blurb:

Respectability is in the eye of the beholder. Or so Lily Penhallow hopes when she assumes the guise of the widow Albright. She has learned the price of flaunting convention and is determined to obey society’s rules from now on. After her lover, Nigel Albright, was killed in a duel over a card game, Lily dons widow’s weeds and travels to Grass Valley, California where she plans to marry the man her uncle works for, a respectable mine owner named Hugh Ogilvie. Then, on the riverboat from San Francisco, she meets Creighton ‘King’ Callaway, a professional gambler, just the kind of man she should avoid.

King believes that since life is a gamble, there’s no point in planning for the future. You have to trust Lady Luck. After meeting Lily, King knows he has found his Queen of Hearts. But can he convince her to pass up a sober businessman for a foot-loose card sharp?

Only Lady Luck knows for sure…

Too Many Women… Book Hooks! #MFRWauthor #MFRWhooks

Lady Elinor's Escape coverHere’s a snippet from my Regency romance, Lady Elinor’s Escape, in the hero’s point of view for this week’s Book Hooks! a weekly meme hosted by Marketing for Romance Writers.

There were too many women in Stephen Chaplin’s life. He had just gotten rid of one, and the last thing he needed was another.

He set his mug of coffee on the breakfast table and closed his eyes. Not again.

Though he tried to ignore the agitated female who had just burst through the doorway to the Horse and Cart Inn as if the hounds of hell were after her, he could not help overhearing her conversation. She was in trouble. He’d wager his last shilling on it.

Blurb:

Lady Elinor Ashworth always longed for adventure, but when she runs away from her abusive aunt, she finds more than she bargained for. Elinor fears her aunt who is irrational and dangerous, threatening Elinor and anyone she associates with. When she encounters an inquisitive gentleman, she accepts his help, but fearing for his safety, hides her identity by pretending to be a seamstress. She resists his every attempt to draw her out, all the while fighting her attraction to him.

There are too many women in barrister Stephen Chaplin’s life, but he has never been able to turn his back on a damsel in distress. The younger son of a baronet is a ‘rescuer’ of troubled females, an unusual vocation fueled guilt over his failure to save the woman he loved from her brutal husband. He cannot help falling in love with his secretive seamstress, but to his dismay, the truth of her background reveals Stephen as the ineligible party.
