All About the Writing

It's the Little Things...

The books in The Curse of True Love series have their own series page on Amazon. It tickles me to see them all lined up together, like siblings or something. So I thought I'd celebrate by doing a Canva poster too.

If you'd like to see the series page, you can click right HERE.

Oh, and check out these delightful reviews of Falling for His Duchess. Lexxie at (un)Conventional BookViews said she "loved getting to know Julian and Rosalinde, their love-story was so sweet!" Eleanor at The Book Hammock said Julian is "adorably adorable", and the story is "too cute to pass". Mae Clair calls it a "sweet, breezy read" and says "Donna Cummings never fails to delight with her regency romances".

After all that, I think I'm blushing. And swooning. And celebrating with another cup of coffee!

Only 5 Days to Wait!

Release day is April 15th, this Friday. Not only will you get to meet Julian and Rosalinde, but you'll also get to revisit Felicia and Great-Aunt Aurore from Lord Wastrel. And, of course, Aphrodite and Ares, who are creating mayhem throughout the entire series.

In the meantime, here's a fun graphic created by Carrie at Cheeky Covers. Isn't it awesome? Although one cup of coffee isn't nearly enough! I'll whip up a few more so I can finish the next book in the series.

A Duke and a Vicar's Daughter Walk Into an Inn. . .

So how do Rosalinde, a country vicar's daughter, and Julian, a duke, manage to meet in the first place? Well, it goes something like this:

~~~~~

"You may as well face the truth." Rosalinde Hewitt dabbed the last of her tears with a lace-edged handkerchief. "You have been jilted."

She gazed numbly at the inn's comfortably furnished private parlor, having memorized its contents while waiting for her betrothed to return from London. A fire continued to crackle cheerfully in a corner of the room, as if mocking her earlier optimism for this ill-fated elopement.

Rosalinde allowed herself one last sniffle and then she stood, straightening her shoulders. There was no reason to put off her return home any longer. In truth, there was nothing she wanted more.

She gave the ribbons of her jaunty chip-straw bonnet a determined tug. Oh how she wished her hands were tightening around the neck of the absent Mr. Moulton instead.

She merely needed to retrieve the small portmanteau containing her few essentials. A rather muscular ostler had brought it in—was it only hours ago?—but she had been too busy planning her upcoming excursions in London to concentrate on anything else.

Not only had those hopes failed to materialize, her leather bag had seemingly disappeared too.

Rosalinde paced the private parlor, her exasperation growing with each unsuccessful attempt to locate the missing luggage. She was tempted to leave it, and return for it on the morrow. But if anyone were to see the bag, and learn of her misadventure…

She set to searching even more diligently. Perhaps she could ask the ostler for assistance. Or the maid who had given her a conspiratorial wink while bringing in some refreshment earlier.

Rosalinde opened the door to seek them out—and immediately plowed into an unexpected obstacle.

A hint of bay rum and starch tickled her nose, and no wonder, since her face was nearly buried in a snowy-white cravat, thanks to the arms that encircled her so protectively. She tilted her head back to see, not Mr. Moulton, but a gentleman with a strong, well-defined jaw, an aquiline nose, and sculptured cheekbones. Her heart beat faster at the handsome sight, until she saw his finely shaped lips tipped up in a smile.

Even worse, his eyes were dancing with merriment.

Pre-order FALLING FOR HIS DUCHESS now!

Aphrodite strikes again! She loves to play matchmaker in Regency England, and this time she's paired a country vicar's daughter, who was just jilted at her elopement, and a duke who is concealing his identity while trying to find someone to love him, not his title and wealth.

Falling for His Duchess is Book 3 of The Curse of True Love Series, and it is available for pre-order now. You can read it beginning April 15. I deliberately chose that date, thinking it could be a reward for those people in the U.S. who wait until the last minute to file their taxes. Not that I know anyone like that. *cough*

In the meantime, I'm working on the last book in the series, The Debutante's Wager, which will be available in Fall 2016.

Hope you enjoy this latest installment in the series. You know how hard Aphrodite works to bring lovers together!
