Folks, just letting you know that this one is dark. In some places, very dark. If you read nothing else in the long book description, read the trigger warning at the bottom.

The community that calls itself Heaven has a darker side, and the woman Max loves is in awful danger. To save her, he must lose her, for if he draws on his hard-won skills as a sniper and assassin, she will recoil from the darkness of his soul.

Note: This book is largely set within a cult, so is not your typical Regency. Read the trigger warning in the long description

When the machinations of a criminal compel Ellie Nomikos to seek out Dan Moriarty, she doesn’t know what to expect.

Once they meant everything to one another. First, in London’s meanest streets and later in Spain facing Napoleon’s army, where betrayal and lies tore them apart.

With the mysterious King Nemesis circling for the kill, they must learn to trust one another again. Together, can they discover his identity and bring him to justice before he finds and kills the person most precious to them in the world?

The stakes could not be higher. Their love. Their lives. Their daughter.

Nothing will stop Colonel Lionel O'Toole from leading his men on the invasion into Spain. Not the abducted heiress he rescues and makes his wife, nor old secrets that radically change his place in his family, nor the ill health of the earl his grandfather.

But his devotion to duty might be derailed by the spy in his inner circle and vile rumours about his wife.

Will the love between Lion and Dorothea endure, or will deceit and betrayal tear them apart?

Ella survived an abusive and philandering husband, in-laws who hate her, and public scorn. But she’s not sure she will survive love. It is too late to guard her heart from the man forced to pretend he married such a disreputable widow, but at least she will not burden him with feelings he can never return. She prays he will learn to tolerate her.

Alex understands his supposed wife never wishes to remarry. And if she had chosen to wed, it would not have been to him. He should have wooed her when he was whole, when he could have had her love, not her pity. But it is too late now. She looks at him and sees a broken man. He hopes she will learn to bear him.

In a masquerade of a marriage, Ella and Alex soon discover they are more well-matched than they thought possible. But then the couple’s blossoming trust is ripped apart by a malicious enemy. Two lost souls must together face the demons of their past to save their lives and give their love a future.

He thought he had buried his heart with his children. He was wrong.

“And now… farewell to kindness, humanity and gratitude. I have substituted myself for Providence in rewarding the good; may the God of vengeance now yield me His place to punish the wicked.” Alexander Dumas

Prue's job is to uncover secrets, but she hides a few of her own. When she is framed for murder and cast into Newgate, her one-time lover comes to her rescue. Will revealing what she knows help in their hunt for blackmailers, traitors, and murderers? Or threaten all she holds dear?

Enquiry agent David solves problems for the ton, but will never be one of them. When his latest case includes his legitimate half-brothers as well as the woman who left him months ago, he finds the past and the circumstances of his birth difficult to ignore. Danger to Prue makes it impossible.

Hand-Turned Tales is a book of stories. Think of it like a sampler box of chocolates: each one complete, but a different flavour. Dip in, and try my writing for free: four very different tales with a variety of heroes, heroines, and villains.

The three short stories and one novella are also sold as stand-alone paperback books from Amazon and BooksAMillion.

It is not until Prue disappears that David fully realises what she means to him. And finding her again may mean choosing between his country and his woman. (Not yet published. Coming in 2022)
