Snippet from An Inadvisable Wager

I just posted this on my author page on Facebook and decided I should share it here too! I am loving everything about this work and can't wait to share it. Right now this will be released early 2021.

Here's a snippet from An Inadvisable Wager:

"Three more people pushed into the library while Lady Weatherby was huffing about the absolute scandal of it! Nora let her tears flow, one of those gifts given to women to use against men. Carlow had removed his person from hers, allowing her to sit up, bat her lashes and then press her hand to her brow.

Then Timothy strolled in.

Nora was just about out of tears—and ready for her brother to scream holy hell about Carlow ruining—ruining—his sister.

“And who are you?” Carlow demanded.

“I am Nora’s brother, Timothy Blasington. Earl of Henbury. And I don’t need an introduction to a scoundrel like you, Carlow. Isn’t it just like your family to take advantage of the defenseless,” he said, speaking with authority and anger. “Nora, come stand beside me and away from him.”

“You’re Henbury? And you’re Nora Blasington?” Carlow asked, his brows reaching the ceiling while his gaze shot daggers at her.

“This is unspeakable,” Reverend Wright, sputtered. “I will see the Archbishop of Canterbury this evening and demand a special license and you, sir, will attend with me.”

“It’s already morning,” Carlow said sarcastically. Nora glanced at the mantel clock to see it was just a little after two.

“He’s not going anywhere,” Timothy demanded. “There are agreements to be reached and until I hear it from his own lips, he’s not leaving this room.”

“And what is it you want me to say?” Carlow asked, feigning innocence.

“By God, you will apologize first. Second, you will get on your knees and beg for my sister’s hand.”   

“Or what? Carlow asked.

What am I working on now?

The last few months have been a challenge for us all, but I'm happy to say that my two contemporaries are done! I've just finished final edits for Pinnacle, which releases on September 15th. Just a reminder to pre-order because it is on sale until release day!

For the next twelve months, I have an ambitious goal. I'm working on four Regency novels. Gulp! Can I do it? I'm pretty sure because the stories are all about half finished.

So what are they?

I'm going to do two more in the Wicked Affairs series currently titled Wicked Ember and Wicked Shades. The protags have been mentioned in other books but I will surprise you with a later post (I've mentioned them before so if you're REALLY curious, you could probably find out.)

The other two are books in existing series. One in the Infamous Forresters and the other in The Curse of the Weatherby Ball. So this is a little surprise for you. I've had theses covers done for a while. Now, I have to say that for me, writing a certain novel is about working on the one that "takes" you in the moment. So, even though the covers are done for these novels, other books took me first.

Aren't these just beautiful covers? Dar Albert delivers again! I am especially in love with An Inadvisable Wager cover. I think it is my second favorite cover ever!!!! I'm right in the middle of writing a fantastic card game scene for this novel. Of course, they are at the Weatherby Ball so who knows what might happen.

As for A Wife Is Forever, I'm not sure that will be the final title, but I'll keep you posted.

So what do you think of my Regency surprises for the day?
