I dream of beauty and sightless night
I dream of strength and fevered might
I dream I’m not alone again
But I know of his death and her grievous sin.

Ah, and just what does this strange song mean that was seemingly imprinted on the child’s brain?

She names herself Rosalind de La Fontaine since she cannot remember who she is. In her first season in London in 1835, under the aegis of the Sherbrookes, she meets Nicholas Vail, the seventh Earl of Mountjoy, newly arrived from Macau. It is instant fascination on both their parts, but for different reasons. With Grayson Sherbrooke, they are led to an ancient copy of a mysterious book written by a sixteenth-century wizard. The book is written in a baffling code that neither Grayson nor Nicholas can read.

But Rosalind can easily. Strange things start happening. Both Nicholas and Rosalind know it has to do with the old book, and, perhaps, even her past, particularly the song she first sang as a child. The urgency builds as they realize Rosalind is the key to a centuries-old mystery. I hope you enjoy Wizard’s Daughter and all the extraordinary characters you will meet.

Cassie Brougham and Anthony Welles, Earl of Clare, are my favorite characters of all time, Cassie has known the Earl of Clare all her life, but she’s in love with a soldier she’s been secretly writing to since she was fifteen. Now he’s home and they’re going to be married. But the day before her wedding, Anthony Welles kidnaps her aboard his yacht and sails away with her to Genoa, Italy; his stated intentions to make her his wife. Cassie is not happy about this.

This is an unusual love story, to say the least, that will make you weep and laugh and root for what you know is best for both of them. There is pain, doubt, captivation, and escape. But regardless of what happens, this is a love that is of the forever sort, something that is true and very real, and will stay close to your heart, I hope, for a very long time. If you missed Devil’s Embrace the first time around, do read it now.

DEVIL’S DAUGHTER $ 7.99 (Book 2)(407 Pages)

Dear Reader:

Devil’s Daughter is the story of Adam and Arabella Welles, the son and daughter of Cassie and Anthony Welles. I have updated the book, since, like Devil’s Embrace, it came out a while ago and needed some tidying up. It has a charming new cover, a blend of the old and new. Adam has enjoyed women but hasn’t yet found the woman created just for him. As for Arabella, she is as independent and strong-willed as her brother and her parents. When both brother and sister go adventuring in Naples to solve the mystery of their father’s missing ships and cargos, they discover that the person behind this thievery is an enemy form their father’s past. This enemy manages to drug Arabella and pack her off to a harem in North Africa, Adam in Pursuit.

But Adam isn’t alone, there’s a stowaway with him he certainly doesn’t expect. Her name is Rayna Lyndhurst, daughter of a man who is dead set against the Welles family. But do children ever pay attention to their parents? Arabella finds the harem a frightening and fascinating place, a golden prison form which there is little chance of escape. Her master is Kamal, the Bey of Oran, a man who must be her enemy but who is unlike any man she has ever known. As for Kamal, he suddenly finds himself faced with a woman willing to fight him to the death—a woman who both bewitches and infuriates him. I hope you enjoy the adventures of Adam and Rayna, Arabella and Kamal. These are people I’ll never forget.

Dear Reader:

Chandra first appeared in 1984. I’ve rewritten it extensively and changed the title to Warrior’s Song, as this book rightfully belongs in the Song series. Chandra de Avenell might look like a golden princess, but she fights like a warrior, dreams a warrior’s dreams, and wears a warrior’s pride like a suit of armor. She wants to be strong, independent, and free. Enter the man her father has selected for her. Jerval de Vernon takes one look at Chandra, and he wants her. After he saves her form a very bad situation, he sets himself to wooing her—not an easy task.

How does a man convince a woman he coerces into marriage to become a wife? To give him her loyalty and her trust? Love is something he would like her to consider as well. But what if the wife has no intention of cooperating? Does he break her or finally give up on her? Warrior’s Song introduces Graelam de Moreton, a real bad boy, who has his mate thrust upon him in the second book of this series, Fire Song.

Dear Reader:

Fire Song first came out in 1985. It’s the second novel in the Medieval Song Quartet. I’ve updated the language a bit, and hummed with pleasure at the beautiful new cover.

Lord Graelam de Moreton first appeared in Warrior’s Song. He was a warrior, a man both hard and ruthless, a man who took what he wanted and never looked back. He was, and still is, a very bad boy. But things change and Graelam finds himself in a situation he never anticipated: he has gotten himself a wife through no fault of his own.

Kassia de Loris of Brittany is gentle and yielding, untested in the ways of men. She cheats death only to find herself wedded to a stranger.

When the two meet as husband and wife at Graelam’s castle of Wolffeton in Cornwall, Kassia is prepared to give obeisance to this man her father chose for her. Graelam is willing to accept her as she appears—a lady as innocent and guileless as rain water flowing through his fingers.

But things change again. Graelam comes to believe she has betrayed him. It’s time for Kassia to prove her mettle.

Dear Reader:

Earth Song came out in 1990. Now it has become the third of the Medieval Song Quartet and by fart the most fun. If you don’t hold your sides with laughter, then there’s something very wrong with you, trust me on this one. I haven’t changed the story, just glowed with delight at the beautiful new cover.

Meet Philippa de Beauchamp—daring, impulsive, guilty of thing with her feet and not with her head whenever she’s in a bind. Philippa flees her father’s castle when she hears she’s to be married to the revolting Baron de Bridgeport. But her daring escape in a wool wagon becomes a disaster when she winds up at the castle of St. Erth, whose owner, Dienwald de Fortenberry, is a rogue as smooth and bold as Aquiantine wine, and poor as a church mouse.

What is he to do with a girl who won’t tell him who she is, who is as tall as he is, and so beautiful it makes his teeth ache just to look at her?

There are villains to dispatch, mysteries to solve, and a little boy Philippa needs to win over. You’ll see Graelam and Kassia again. I want you to prepare yourself for lots and lots of laughter.

Enjoy,

Dear Reader:

Welcome to THE WYNDHAM LEGACY, the first novel of the Legacy trilogy, set in England in my favorite era, the Regency period. There are two legacies: one from the distant past; the other a very current one that touches our main man very directly—indeed, one that smacks him in the chops. Marcus Wyndham never asked to become the Earl of Chase. The Duchess never asked to be illegitimate. And neither of these two asked that their fates become so entwined.

Marcus is passionate, quick to rage, just as quick to laughter. He’s tough, opinionated, domineering, known as the devil’s own son. The Duchess is serene and aloof—she has silence down to a fine art. She is always in control, her smiles as rare as bawdy jest in the pulpit. She is self-reliant once she realizes that a very special talent can make her so, a talent no one suspects.

Surrounding this unlikely pair are three servants cast in the Shakespearean mold: Spears, Badger, and Maggie—all cocky, smart, good plotters and better friends, who don’t know the meaning of subservient. Add to this the American Wyndhams—and who can trust an American Wyndham? —bucketfuls of intrigue, laughter, and a love story that will wring your withers. I hope you’ll enjoy yourself thoroughly with THE WYNDHAM LEGACY.

Enjoy,
