About Me

I wrote my first Regency romance during my long university holidays. After travelling the world, I settled down to write my second Regency novel, Lord Fenmore's Wager, which was inspired by my time living on a country estate in England. I then went on to publish two chick lit novels before returning to my favourite era with a new traditional Regency series, The Linfield Ladies Series. This trilogy features women in trend-setting roles who fall in love with men who embrace their trailblazing ways... at least eventually. My Dragonblade trilogy, The Grantham Girls, continues this inspiring theme. I currently live in Johannesburg with my husband and two sons.

    LATEST RELEASE

     Can wishing upon a star ever come true?

    Abigail Grantham has always taken a keen interest in astronomy since her brother Sir John Grantham enlisted her aid as a young girl to keep records of his astronomical discoveries. Abigail is delighted when her uncle, Lord Longmore, invites her to stay at Longmore Hall in Buckinghamshire as he needs her assistance to compile a star chart.

    When Abigail arrives at the Hall, her Aunt Longmore introduces her to local society. However, Abigail also spends a great deal of time in her uncle’s observatory, viewing the night skies alongside her uncle’s neighbor, fellow astronomer William, Viscount Rochvale.

    Lord Rochvale is intrigued by Abigail, and when he discovers that they share an interest in ancient buildings and Roman history, he contrives to become better acquainted with her away from her uncle’s observatory, taking her to places of archaeological interest with a view to winning her heart. But the astronomical project they are working on makes courtship difficult, and William’s plans are further frustrated by his rakish cousin Gerald Burnby, who becomes a frequent visitor to Longmore Hall, seeking out Abigail too.

    After a valuable Roman urn disappears from Longmore Hall, a series of mysterious occurrences unravel, presenting a puzzle Abigail has no idea how to solve. However, when events escalate into peril, Abigail discovers that it is the night sky that holds the secret to the missing urn—as well as to her stolen heart.

    Note: This series is part of Dragonblade's Sweet Dreams line, so this is a sweet, wholesome Historical Romance where passion beyond the bedroom door is left to the reader’s imagination.
