Book One, The Innkeeper's Daughter follows Agent-to-the-Crown Sir Henry March and his beautiful and feisty common-born mistress, Eliza Broad, who proves herself to be a worthy partner in the fight against enemy agents running a dark sadistic world of sex trafficking that has eluded Sir Henry for years. Book Two, The Gentleman's Daughter, continues with the story of Sir Henry, who according the rules of society, must marry a lady above reproach to give his illegitimate daughter, Emily, entrance into society. Just when he thinks there are no women of interest, he meets Isabella who is as beautiful as she is talented. But Isabella doesn't plan to marry, and wants to forget a painful past. To keep her overbearing mother at bay, she embarks on a fake courtship with Sir Henry, which soon turns to love. All the while, the same enemy agents are still at work, and it falls to Sir Henry to save Isabella from their dark world. Book Three, The Memory of Her, follows Sir Henry's best friend, Allen Strathem, as he recuperates from the horrors of war, and the woman who nurses him to health, and Sir Henry's former mistress, Eliza Broad. As he regains his strength, and the two of them find love, they must battle together to elude and capture the men who tortured Allen during the war - only to find out that something much more dark is afoot. Finally, in Book Four, The Spy's Daughter, Sir Henry's daughter, Emily, is ready to enter society; however, her illegitimacy may overshadow her wealth, beauty, and talent. But it may be another barrier that stands in her way, the enemy forces who have always eluded her father. Max Warthon is the grandson of one of those dark and powerful agents, and he knows that getting too close to Emily will lead to peril, but he cannot resist her. Their whirlwind romance attracts everyone's attention — and raises the ire of his grandfather. With old secrets standing in their way, will Emily and Max be able to unravel the mystery of an ancient hatred and unmask the true enemy once and for all?

Book excerpt: He only wanted a duchess for a day--but she's determined to make it a marriage for life When his father and older brother suddenly pass away, the new Duke of Haverly is saddled with a title he never expected to bear. To thwart the plans of his scheming family, the duke impulsively marries a wallflower. After all, she's meek and mild; it should be easy to sequester her in the country and get on with his life--as a secret agent for the Crown. But his bride has other ideas. She's determined to take her place not only as his duchess but as his wife. As a duchess, she can use her position to help the lowest of society--the women forced into prostitution because they have no skills or hope. Her endeavors are not met favorably in society, nor by her husband who wishes she'd remain in the background as he ordered. Can the duke succeed in relegating her to the sidelines of his life? When his secrets are threatened with exposure, will his new wife be an asset or a liability?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After his father’s death Lord Magnus Dawson has more important things to think about than falling in love—like how to earn a living when all he knows is the idleness he was raised with, and the military training he received before selling his commission. For Toby Marsh, the impetus is as great, though he doesn’t have Magnus’s family connections to fall back on. A scholarship student at Cambridge, he was forced to spend his last year in college as valet and sometime tutor to a brainless fellow student after his father’s sudden death. Now he scrabbles out a living as a freelance tutor. Then a call from the Foreign Office brings them together. Toby disdains the idle lordling, and Magnus can’t seem to treat Toby as more than a servant. As they delve deeper into their assignment, the attraction between them grows. But can they envision a future together when class and culture conspire to drive them apart? The Gentleman and the Spy is an 83,000 word Victorian-era lord and valet romance with a country house party and a touch of espionage and international intrigue.
