Hearts At Home

Three warriors find their forever home in the heart of a loved one in this collection of stories about veterans of the Napoleonic wars.

The cavalry captain: Lord Cuckoo Comes Home

After ten years at war, Dom Finchley wants only to build the home he’s never had. A place to call his own. Then he meets Chloe.

Chloe Tavistock is past the age for the marriage market, and unfashionable in her shape, her opinions, and her enthusiasms. She is not going to find a husband in York, whatever her fond brother might think. And then she meets Dom.Two people who have never fitted in just might be a perfect fit.

The freedom-fighter: The Beast Next Door

Eric Lord Wayford would rather face the surgeons of Naples and Napoleon’s armies than the tongues of the ton. He retreats to his estate of Eastwood. Beastwood, as the neighbours called it, for the child he had been—a child whose birthmarks made him an exile.

Charis Fishingham has been escaping to the gardens of Eastwood since she was a child. There, she can escape her mother’s expectations, her sisters’ chatter, and her own worries about her future.

But now her childhood friend, the Beast of Beastwood, has returned, and their future looks to be full of hope. But someone does not wish Charis to wed the Beast of Beastwood, and will stop at nothing to keep them apart.

The Career Soldier (retired): Love in Its Season

The Battle of Waterloo lost Jack Wrath the use of one arm and ended his career in the army. With nothing better to do and nowhere else to go, he sees his doctor home to Reabridge—and stays because of Gwen, the female farrier he rescues from a lustful lord.

Gwen Hughes is taller and stronger than many men, and runs her own business. Perhaps she intimidates the men of the town, but that is fine with her. She doesn’t have time for courtship.

Under the harvest moon, two people who believe romance has passed them finally reach their season for love.

2025 with Jude Knight

Here’s my publication plan for 2025. I’ve just heard that Jackie’s Climb will be back from the editor by Monday, and The Duke’s Price and The Secret Word are going well, with a deadline of 28th February to keep me on my toes. Hearts at Home will be a repackaging of three novellas that are currently only available in Bluestocking Belles collections. I have it up on Amazon for preorder, and will get it onto the other platforms (and here on my website) during the coming week. I just adore the cover, with its sword left on the hill amid the wildflowers and the sun coming out over the village. The linking theme is returning warriors who find their forever home in the arms of an unexpected beloved. Links to come.
