Happy July!
Hi everyone,
I can hardly believe it, but the first book in my new Regency trilogy, The Footman and I, is out now! It’s available in e-book, print, and is coming soon in audio! Click here for the link to your favorite retailer.
Here’s a bit about the story . . .
Let the games begin . . .
Every fortune-hunting female in London is after the newly titled Earl of Kendall, but he’s intent on finding a wife whose heart is true. So, while drunkenly jesting with his friends in a pub one night, he has an idea—what if the ladies of the ton didn’t know he was a wealthy earl? All he has to do is pose as a servant at his friend’s summer country house party and make sure the guest list is full of beautiful, eligible debutantes. What could possibly go wrong?
May the best footman win.
Miss Frances Wharton is far more interested in fighting for the rights of the poor than in marriage, but her mother insists she attend a summer house party—and find herself a husband. Frances would rather wed a goat than the pompous man her mother has in mind, so in order to dissuade the would-be suitor, she vows to behave like a shrew. The only person she can be herself with is the kind, handsome footman she runs into at every turn. Their connection is undeniable, and the divide between them is no match for the passion they feel. But what will happen when Frances learns that the footman she adores is actually the earl she despises? In a game where everything is false, can they convince each other that their love is true?
What I’m Up To…
In June I actually braved the world and met my sister in Savannah at an Airbnb for some writing time. We ordered take out and stayed indoors mostly. I also finished writing the last book in the new trilogy, The Valet Who Loved Me, which comes out August 25th. In July, I’ll be taking a small break from writing while plotting my next move, which may involve a pair of Footmen’s Club novellas!
Have a fun-filled July, everyone, and thank you for reading my latest news!
