Hello again! I’m thrilled to announce the official release this week of my new historical romance, A Song at Twilight . A loose sequel to my previous novel, Waltz with a Stranger , A Song at Twilight is a second chance at love story between a rising star of the Victorian opera and concert stage and the man she fell in love with at seventeen--and has never been able to forget.

Hi, everyone! Yesterday was the official on-sale date of my first Sourcebooks romance, IT TAKES TWO TO TANGLE . So far it’s been a wild and wonderful ride: spotting the book on the shelves for the first time and seeing it featured by one of my favorite authors, Eloisa James , who called it “a beautifully written novel that balances laughter with healing.” Here’s a little summary of the story: WOOING THE WRONG WOMAN… Henry Middlebrook is back from fighting Napoleon, ready to re-enter London society where he left it.

She finds Henry Middlebrook courageous and manly, unlike the foppish aristocrats she is used to, and is inspired to exercise her considerabl...
