It's been a long haul.
My sixth novel, Portia & the Merchant of London, was released in February of last year. The seventh, A Westminster Wedding, should (I hope!) come out in the next two or three months. The delay was caused by the need to make some extensive revisions and then by scheduling issues. I believe I've got one more set of galleys to look at, but the cover and blurb are done.
Westminster-wedding, a Whore and a Rogue married together.
Sometimes I like to play with the tropes and conventions often found in historical romance. No, the heroine is not a prostitute, and the hero is not a rogue...strictly speaking. But there is an archrogue in a supporting role, and deceit galore.
The blurb:
The Barding earldom may be doomed. A shocking suggestion
may provide another potential heir.
Miles Halliwell, Barding’s man of business, owes everything to
the earl. Does loyalty to his employer require him to deal with a known
criminal and incite forgery? Unfortunately for Miles’s peace of mind, it may.
To protect her family’s reputation, Julia St. John, daughter of a baron, has given up everything to live in obscurity with an illegitimate son and no better future in sight. The earl’s family offers a new life…at the cost of a few more lies.
