Just released!
After eighteen months as a widow, Allegra Watkins knows it's time to move on with her life. She's just not sure how to accomplish it. A sign from the Universe would be really helpful—especially before her mom starts signing her up for dating sites.
Out of the blue, Allegra learns she's the new owner of an estate in Bath, England. But there's more to this inheritance than a Jane Austen summer vacation.
Allegra is the latest in an unbroken line of widows, going back two hundred years, and her new home is known as Wayward Manor.
That's because of the first widow, Madeleine, Lady Canton – who was never the meek and mousey wallflower type.
How could Allegra hope to continue that legacy? She barely remembers how to flirt anymore.
Fortunately Madeleine has left a diary which details her new romance with a dashing Navy captain, as well as the story of her widowed sister Anne finding love again.
The diary becomes a guidebook for Allegra's new life. It inspires her to embark on a romance with her sexy neighbor, Max, who needed adventure as much as Allegra did. She's also regained her confidence about the future and the direction it's headed.
If all goes well, Allegra will have a ton of exciting diary entries to inspire future widows—and make the previous Widows of Wayward Manor beam with pride.

Book 5 of The Curse of True Love Series
James Arrington fled to the continent to escape his gambling debts. Now he has returned to London, eager to make amends and secure his financial future—by marrying an heiress.
A chance encounter with Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, threatens to derail these plans because James falls instantly, inexplicably, in love with a woman he hasn't even set eyes on.
Fortune is smiling on this charming scoundrel, for the stranger who stole James' heart is an heiress. All he has to do is convince this fierce beauty, as well as himself, that he is worthy of being her husband.
Cecily Honeyfield has been wary of charmers her entire life. She rarely lets down her guard and is well-accustomed to fending off unwelcome suitors—at sword point if needed. She isn't about to lose her wealth, or her heart, just because a gentleman is witty and handsome and possesses an irresistible smile.
Yet this fortune hunter is unlike the others seeking to enrich themselves at her expense. His every word and deed makes Cecily feel that she, not her money, is the treasure he truly desires.
Can Cecily trust that she has finally found the one who is worth risking it all? Or will love remain a luxury neither of them can afford?

Book 4 of The Matchmaking Earl Series
Meet Me at the Mistletoe, Book 4 of the series, is available now. You can see a sneak peek here, and here's the blurb:
After years of pleasurable but temporary pursuits, Desmond Mayfield enlists his friend, the Matchmaking Earl, to find his perfect match, never dreaming he’d find a love to rival his parents' legendary romance. Then he meets a temptress so enchanting, the very idea of letting her slip away is too dreadful to consider. But while Desmond may have fallen fast and hard, his Siren is determined to allow only a brief holiday affair, unwilling to risk a repeat of her previous loveless union.
It will take all the mistletoe Desmond can find—and all the kisses they afford him—to convince her that theirs is a passion to last through every season.
